Pro Blue Laser 3D Scanning with the Revopoint MetroX for Only $649! - 3D Printing Industry

Oct 17, 2024

3D scanner manufacturer Revopoint has announced its latest offering, the Revopoint MetroX 3D scanner, featuring hybrid multi-line blue laser and full-field structured light scanning technology.

The MetroX 3D scanner, available at 12 PM ET on October 15th, offers metrology-grade accuracy for professionals in fields such as reverse engineering, quality control, additive manufacturing, and rapid prototyping.

Revopoint’s Kickstarter campaign offers a 35% discount for Super Early Bird backers, bringing the MSRP of $999 down to just $649. Additionally, a surprising stretch goal gift will be revealed during the live campaign, giving backers extra incentives to support the project.

Precision and versatility in 3D scanning

At the heart of the MetroX 3D scanner is its metrology-grade accuracy, boasting accuracy up to 0.03 mm with a fused point distance of 0.05 mm and precision of 0.01 mm. This scanner features four distinct scanning modes, each designed to cater to different project needs.

For instance, the Cross Lines mode utilizes the industrial-grade 14 crossed blue laser lines to scan glossy and black surfaces efficiently, capturing up to 800,000 points per second. On the other hand, Parallel Lines mode, which deploys seven parallel blue laser lines, allows for capturing intricate, fine details. Both of these modes require markers for tracking.

For larger and more detailed objects, the Full-field structured light mode captures up to 7 million points per second using 62 lines of blue structured light efficiently, allowing for detailed scans of complex objects. Moreover, the Full-field structured light mode enables marker-free scanning of feature-rich objects, simplifying the process and reducing setup time.

Additionally, the Auto Turntable scanning mode further simplifies the process, offering automated scans with one click using the Dual-axis turntable and 62-line blue full-field structured light. This mode automatically captures objects, ensuring reliable point cloud and color capture every time.

To maintain consistent accuracy, the MetroX comes with a high-end lithography calibration plate, featuring pattern accuracy of up to 10μm. This helps ensure that the scanner delivers reliable results, even over extended use.

MetroX’s free companion software – Revo Scan, handles everything from point cloud scanning to fusion, meshing, and editing. Users can easily export their models into third-party software like Quicksurface, Geomagic Wrap, and Geomagic Control, enabling seamless scan-to-CAD workflows. This compatibility makes the 3D scanner an invaluable tool for professionals needing flexible and efficient post-processing options. During the Kickstarter campaign, Revopoint will offer the Quicksurface software as an Add-on at a competitive price, so don’t miss out!

In addition to these features, the Revopoint MetroX 3D scanner comes in a smart-looking aluminum carry case that houses the scanner and all its accessories, including USB cable, Dual-axis turntable, tripod, markers, calibration board, Power Adapter, AC Power Cable, and other essential tools. A cleaning cloth and a quick start guide are also provided, ensuring users have everything they need to get started right away.

Furthermore, the Advanced Edition of MetroX 3D Scanner includes the Marker Block Kit, featuring 10 dome markers (magnetic), 4 pyramid markers (magnetic), 10 ball markers (magnetic), and 4 bar markers (magnetic), all designed to streamline your scanning workflow.
