3D scanning has traditionally been the domain of big production studios and companies because of the size of the equipment and their prohibitive costs. With the arrival of handheld scanners, however, the doors were thrown wide open for anyone in any field to make their own 3D models from real-world objects, whether it’s for fun, art, health, or profit.

Typical handheld 3D scanners work great when working with small objects that are no larger than the device itself. Of course, real-world objects like car parts, whole vehicles, and even human bodies are quite big and push these smaller scanners to the limit. Enter the new Revopont RANGE 2, the latest in a line of lightweight but powerful 3D scanners designed to handle large objects without breaking a sweat, making sure that your creativity and productivity aren’t limited by the size of your model.

Revopoint RANGE 2 is a portable handheld dual depth camera structured infrared light 3D scanner designed for capturing large objects like furniture, people, and vehicles.

Because handheld 3D scanners work by guiding the depth cameras across and around the target, the devices need to be able to capture a great amount of detail with great depth quickly and steadily with accuracy and precision. That’s a rather tall order for a small device, especially one that is made to be accessible to both amateurs and pros alike, but Revopoint’s expertise really shines through with the upgrades that its RANGE 2 3D scanner packs in a compact and portable form. For example, thanks to new depth cameras that have double the sensor size, the Revopoint RANGE 2 can work on a distance ranging from 400 mm to 1,300 mm, a 60% increase that makes it even faster to capture large objects compared to the previous generation, and can scan an area up to 860 x 1380 mm in size.

Range isn’t the only thing that’s bigger and better on the RANGE 2, of course. Four flash LEDs banish shadows for a more uniform color capture, while an improved RGB camera with a bigger aperture is able to capture more color information, ensuring clear color capture with higher levels of detail for more accurate textures and realistic-looking 3D models. An upgraded tracking system utilizes the device’s built-in 9-axis IMU (Inertial Measuring Unit) to keep the scan steady even if your hands aren’t. Four Infrared LED fill lights also make it easier to recognize markers, resulting in more accurate frame stitching in marker mode.

Thanks to these powerful features, the Revopoint RANGE 2 is even more versatile and as flexible as before. With Wi-Fi 6 and USB-C connections, you can be assured that transmitting critical data will be fast and stable. As before, the scanner is compatible with Windows, macOS, Android, and iOS devices, functioning in handheld mode or set on a stand in front of a turntable. And with the Revo Scan 5 software, the scanning process couldn’t be easier, especially with post-processing features, such as frame editing, hole filling, overlap detection, etc, to enhance your workflow.

With the Revopoint RANGE 2 3D scanner, you have a whole new world of large objects you will be able to scan. You can easily scan car or mechanical parts, offering a cost-effective and high-performance way to study them through reverse engineering or produce replacements. Archaeologists, scientists, and museum creators can now also digitize artifacts to preserve them for posterity or turn them into XR experiences. And, of course, artists and creators now have a portable yet powerful tool to bring their ideas to life. Scanning big objects for your big projects will no longer be a problem with the new and improved Revopoint RANGE 2!

3D printing might be wonderful and all that, but their usefulness pretty much depends on the designs that you feed them. Of course, some of these can be created using 3D modeling software, but when it comes to reproducing objects from the real world, nothing beats 3D scanning. That technology, however, has traditionally been out of reach of creatives, makers, and hobbyists because of its expensive price tags, bulky forms, and complicated controls. Thanks to advancements in technology and the rise of the maker culture, however, there has been an increased interest in the democratization of these tools to empower more people and help them make their creative dreams come true. That’s the kind of power that the new Revopoint MIRACO 3D scanner brings to the table, delivering pro-level features in a portable and accessible design.

There is a growing number of 3D scanners available for hobbyists and prosumers, but most of them seem to fall on two extremes. On the one hand, you have powerful but bulky and expensive equipment that you can’t take out of studios. On the other hand, there are small portable devices that have limited applications, particularly for scanning smaller objects only. Building on the 3D vision technologies that brought the successful pocketable INSPIRE 3D scanner to the market, Revopoint is unleashing the new MIRACO 3D scanner to redefine what 3D scanners can offer.

At first glance, you might mistake the Revopoint MIRACO 3D for an extra-large camera, an intentional design decision that sparks familiarity and confidence in how to use the device. Its compact and lightweight (only 750g) body makes it portable and easy to use, while still cramming enough power, including a 2.4GHz octa-core processor and a 5,000 mAh battery, to handle any scanning use case, anywhere. Its all-in-one design means you don’t need to connect it to a phone or PC to use the MIRACO 3D scanner. It even has its own bright 6-inch 2K AMOLED display that can be flipped to 180 degrees, allowing you to scan from any angle, including selfies.

Single Shot – Make tracking loss and difficult-to-scan contrasting surfaces a thing of the past with MIRACO’s single-shot capture mode, making it a breeze to capture any object with ultra-accuracy.

Continuous Shot – When speed is a priority, continuous capture mode is ready to make light work of most small and big objects at up to 15 fps scanning speeds for fast 3D model creation.

Dynamic Accuracy – Get in close to capture fine details with a surgical accuracy of up to 0.05mm at 150mm, or take a step back to scan big objects fast with an accuracy of up to 0.5mm at 600mm.

Jaw-Dropping Color – Experience 3D model color vibrancy like never before with MIRACO’s 48-mega pixel RGB Camera, providing photorealistic single-shot and continuous color scans.

The MIRACO 3D scanner, however, isn’t just convenient. It is also oozing with features and capabilities you’d only encounter in larger and more expensive machines. At the very top of that list are the quad depth cameras that let you scan both large and small objects alike. The scanner also offers excellent single-frame precision of up to 0.02mm at a distance of 150mm and 0.2mm at a 600mm distance, as well as single-frame accuracy of up to 0.05 mm at a distance of 150mm and up to 0.5mm at 600mm distance. With its 48MP RGB camera and LED flash, you can capture not only the shape of the objects but also reproduce their colors and textures with impressive details.

The state of affairs with 3D visualization is sort of the absolute opposite of the state of affairs with 2D visualization! With 2D, capturing is easy, reproducing is hard. Cameras are a dime a dozen… printers aren’t. But, with 3D it’s the other way around. 3D printers have vastly overtaken the 3D scanner industry, making it easy to build creations, but not so easy to capture existing 3D objects around you. The folks at 3DMakerpro want to change that. With a price as low as $199 for super early bird backers (regular buyers will have to pay the original MSRP of $359), the Seal and Seal Lite are portable consumer-grade 3D scanners with a high accuracy of 0.01mm/0.02mm (depending on the regular or lite variant), rivalling most industrial-grade 3D scanners. Designed to be pretty much held and used like a barcode scanner, the Seal uses a blue encoded light-based imaging system that delivers rich, detailed 3D scans with the wave of your hand. The scanner captures at a staggering speed of 100,000 points per second, recording both color and depth detail even in low light, with AI-powered tracking and stabilizing features. For that compelling price point, the folks at 3DMakerpro hope to shift the scales by making 3D capturing easier, more accessible, and more affordable than 3D printing!

Unsurpassed Resolution – Boasting a remarkable 0.05mm resolution, Seal captures intricate details effortlessly, offering up to 5 times the resolution of similar scanners.

Vivid Textures – 24-bit color camera adds vivid colors, contrast, and intricate details to models.

Faster Scanning – Single-frame coded structured light technology, each photo can generate a point cloud frame, achieving true 10fps.

Just as a standalone device, the Seal 3D scanner is no larger than a bar of soap. Built into it, however, is a high-definition color camera that captures 24-bit color and texture information onto a CMOS sensor, along with a blue-light encoded structured light 3D scanning system that captures 3D detail at up to 5x higher resolution than most cameras. This means crisper scans and accuracies of up to 0.01mm getting recorded in each file, effectively making the Seal’s scanning technology the best-in-class for consumer-level scanners (and even some professional scanners). This also translates to faster workflows because you spend up to 40% less time on 3D CAD software creating or touching up scanned models. The Seal Lite is just as efficient as its higher-end sibling, boasting the same scan speeds, but with accuracies of 0.02mm and Mono color/texture information instead of 24-bit.

Multi-Axis Turntable

The Seal and Seal Lite come with two accessories that make the scanning process buttery smooth. For smaller objects and for more controlled scans, the Multi-Axis Turntable lets you mount your Seal or Seal Lite on a static arm, while the object you want to scan sits on a rotating turntable. The turntable itself has a 90° swivel-arm for adjustable captures, and once set up, the entire process is completely automatic. The turntable rotates on its own, while 3D data gets captured and synced with 3DMakerpro’s JMStudio app.

Smart Grip

For objects too large to place on the turntable, the Smart Grip proves to be the perfect accessory. Attach it to the base of your Seal and it becomes almost like a barcode scanner, letting you capture 3D data with a wave of your hand. A Scan Distance Indicator on the back (facing the user) lets you adjust your scan range, while a single button lets you easily and intuitively start and stop scanning. The Smart Grip connects the Seal scanner to your phone (with dedicated iOS and Android apps) so you can pretty much scan objects anywhere without worrying about wires and laptops and other hardware, and a built-in 10,000 mAh battery gives you a whopping 240 minutes of continuous scanning or approximately 100 scan sessions on a full charge.

Brilliant in Darkness – 9-level light adjustment for versatile scanning in varying colors, materials, and lighting conditions.

Lightning-Fast Speed – Collecting 100,000 points per second, it swiftly scans body parts and more.

While it may seem like great hardware can instantly lead to great scans, the reality is that there’s a lot of software tweaking that goes on behind the surface to make the Seal as good as it is. For starters, the short-wavelength structured light system does a remarkable job of grabbing detail, but this is only enhanced by the Seal’s anti-shake optical stabilization that ensures a jittery hand doesn’t affect the scan output. Similarly, AI-based tracking allows the Seal to intuitively scan surfaces without requiring tracking markers, ensuring a seamless 3D model output that isn’t riddled with glitches and stitches. The Seal captures a stunning 100,000 data points per second, making scanning much faster, and a 9-level light adjustment features lets you scan comfortably in bright sunlight as well as low-light settings.

Versatile – Supports OBJ/STL/PLY/ASC formats, catering to all 3D model needs.

Compatible Software

Scanned data gets sent either to your smartphone app, or to the JMStudio software available on Windows and Mac-based systems. The Seal and Seal Lite both output in OBJ, STL, and PLY formats, while also recording in crisp 24-bit color too (or in Mono texture format for the Lite variant) for vivid scans. These scans can then directly be used in all 3D applications for modeling, rigging, animation, archviz, or even metaverse applications. Heck, if you own a 3D printer, you can take prints of your scanned objects too! The Seal 3D scanner starts at a discounted $399 (with an MSRP of $699) and comes with an aluminum outer housing, while the Seal Lite boasts of a discounted $199 price tag (and an MSRP of $359) and a plastic construction.

With all the advancements in imaging sensors in consumer electronics today, it’s puzzling that very few have put those technologies inside 3D scanners that almost anyone can reach for. Of course, there’s more to a 3D scanner than just capturing the physical world, but the foundations are already available, ripe for the picking. The Revopoint INSPIRE 3D Scanner offers a cost-effective, versatile, and powerful 3D scanning solution that tears down the barriers that keep budding creators and hobbyists from completing their dream projects.

How small is the Revopoint INSPIRE, you ask? It’s small enough to quickly shove into your pocket in a hurry and light enough that you won’t even feel its presence there. It’s almost as light as an iPhone 12 mini, so there’s very little reason for you to leave it at home, even if you count the other accessories you’ll want to use with it, like a tripod or the Magic Mat. Despite its modest size, however, the INSPIRE 3D scanner is a heavyweight when it comes to features that almost make 3D scanning feel like hi-tech magic.

Enhanced Marker Tracking – Powered by dual infrared LEDs for extra illumination, intelligent algorithms, and the new Magic Mat’s highly reflective pre-placed markers, the INSPIRE can seamlessly track featureless objects without sticking markers on them.

Bring 3D Models to Life – Dull colors and heavy shadows ruin color scans, so INSPIRE’s RGB camera works with a Flash LED to remove shadows and enrich the colors to create lifelike 3D models.

Create Digital Art – Capture models with INSPIRE, then transform them however you want in 3D modeling software to create something entirely new.

Time-saving Car Modification – Replace out-of-production parts, create modified parts, customize your motor to your heart’s content, and do so without the fear of wrong measurements ruining your hard work.

Game Modding – Transform your favorite games by creating full-color detail-rich 3D models of objects, clothes, equipment, or even your own face.

Smart Stabilization – Equipped with a 9-axis IMU (inertial measurement unit) and intelligent algorithms, the INSPIRE detects and eliminates faulty frames caused by shaking hands or rapid movement, ensuring error-free results and efficient tracking.

It can scan fast at 14 to 18 fps, so capturing an object using the INSPIRE won’t take long. With a 9-axis IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit) and Revopoint’s self-developed 3D vision technology system, you don’t even have to worry about shaky hands or fast movements because INSPIRE can intelligently stabilize the images it captures on the fly. This compact scanner makes it trivial to scan medium-sized objects, whether manually or by using the included mini turntable. Thanks to dual infrared LEDs providing extra marker illumination, intelligent algorithms, and a specially-marked Magic Mat, you don’t even have to bother with sticking markers directly on featureless objects to make scanning easier.

Get Going Fast – Connecting to INSPIRE is a breeze, with Wi-Fi 6 for fast and stable mobile scanning. And a USB Type-C connection for plug-and-play setup that only requires one cable for power and data.

Despite all the power that it packs inside its pocket-size body, the Revopoint INSPIRE couldn’t be easier to use. The Revo Scan 5 works on Windows, Mac, iOS, and Android, but you don’t even need a powerful PC to use the INSPIRE 3D scanner and can just hook it up to your phone. You can choose between fast and stable wireless scanning using Wi-Fi 6 or a quick setup with a single USB-C cable for both power and data, and you can see the 3D model taking shape in real-time, right before your very eyes. Revo Scan 5 can export these models as STL, PLY, or OBJ files for compatibility with most CAD, 3D modeling, and slicer software.

Best of all, this small but powerful 3D scanner is starting at only $272 for a Super Early Bird Special, making sure that no one, especially entry-level creators, will be able to create the digital project of their dreams without breaking the bank. Whether you’re scanning objects to put inside a game, replacing out-of-production machine parts, or preserving artifacts and antiques by creating their digital doubles, the Revopoint INSPIRE 3D Scanner has got you covered.
