About the Showcase My Scans to Be A Beta Tester category

Post your scans here to have a chance to become a beta tester for our new releases!

As I have no scanner, I have no scan to post. But I am a serious maker and creator. I’d love to be part of this as well as showcase this to my community.

**3D Scanning and Printing Animal Skulls for Educational Purposes

I am not sure where to post, so I am reposting also here!**

I had the opportunity to collaborate with a natural history museum on an education

al project using my Revopoint MetroX 3D scanner to digitize real animal skulls and then create 3D-printed replicas.

The project included skulls from a variety of animal species: beaver, wildcat, chamois, badger, fox, bear, golden eagle, roe deer, Eurasian eagle-owl, and hare.

The goal was to create accurate, durable, and affordable educational models that children could handle and examine up close while learning about wildlife and animal anatomy.

One of the biggest advantages of 3D printing is that the replicas can be used freely in educational activities without worrying about damaging valuable original specimens. If a plastic skull gets dropped or accidentally broken, it can simply be printed again.

This project demonstrates how 3D scanning and 3D printing can make natural history collections more accessible, preserve the geometry of real-world objects digitally, and create practical tools for education.

I would love to participate in Revopoint’s beta testing program, explore your upcoming scanning technology, and contribute feedback based on my hands-on experience with real-world scanning projects.

I’m excited to see what your next generation of scanners can achieve and use it for my upcoming projects.

My best scan project - Super complex Volvo V70R parts

Also not sure where to post, so also reposting here.

Hi there, here’s my entry. I scanned and reverse engineered a pretty large (15" long) super detailed fog light grille and a lower mirror cap that aren’t available from the manufacturer anymore. My Pop 4 scanner worked amazing for this, getting all the tiny details with laser scanning was a blast. Printed them and they fit on the car first try, using meshes straight out of Revo Scan 6. Here are a few angles of them, with a bonus shot of the fog grille on the car.

I mounted an inverter between the front seats of a VW ID.Buzz, integrating the center console. Also replaced part of a broken intake on a LR3 Land Rover. The MetroX was used in both of these projects.

Original part getting ready to be scanned via Pop4

Scan via Pop4 in RevoScan 6.4.1

Finished print with original part. Original in dark blue, scanned print in lighter. Mind you, i had to simplify the object 50% in order to have below 10mb file size for print. Since this is a functional part for a chop saw vacuum attachment, and my friend broke 2, and was on the third, I figured we could scan the last one, and print, so he can replicate if needed. 6 scans merged without just about perfection. had to clean up the bottom and top flashing. both with plane cuts in MeshMixer for quick edit.

Hey Revopoint team!

I’m a developer & a car enthousiast. The screenshots below show some parts I’ve scanned and the parts I made from them, these were all for a Honda Prelude.

I’m currently building OEM Industries (https://oem.industries, still a work in progress), aimed to become an open archive of 3D scans for car parts that are hard to find or no longer made. People request a part, I scan it, and the raw scan becomes free for anyone to download and build on. Some scans will also be remodeled into finished parts sold on the site.

My current scanner is great for small and medium parts, but it can’t handle anything bigger. I’d love to scan whole cars and large body panels, both to remake panels you can’t buy anymore and to give people an accurate base for designing their own body kits.

If you have scanners in the works that can handle larger objects, or something portable I could take out in the field, I’d be glad to test them and report back. Every scan would end up in the public archive, where anyone can see what the scanner can do. I’d also be happy to mention your scanners on the site.

Thanks for considering me!

Hello everyone. I have a Pop 4 Scanner, so I decided to use its hallmark 3DGS feature for this submission. I scanned approximately a 4x2x2 ft section of one of my workbenches. The scan includes just about everything you’d expect to find in an active workshop like black and white plastics, metal tools, rubber handles, wiring, electronics, wood surfaces, storage bins, and various mechanical parts.

Instead of scanning a single object, I wanted to see what would happen if I gave the scanner something much more challenging. Most scanners today can produce great results on a statue, a figurine, or another isolated object. That’s useful, but I was more interested in seeing how the POP 4 would handle a real world scene with a lot of different materials, clutter, overlapping objects and difficult viewing angles.

Some parts of the scan turned out better than I expected and some areas pushed the scanner outside its comfort zone. Overall I’d say around 80% of the scan came out looking great, about 10% looks decent, and the remaining 10% shows the kinds of problems you’d expect when dealing with reflective surfaces, dark materials, and heavy occlusion.

What I like about this scan is that it doesn’t hide the strengths or weaknesses of the hardware. It shows both. The goal wasn’t to create a picture perfect scan. It was to challenge myself, challenge the scanner, and learn where the technology excels and where it still struggles.

The attached images are organized into three sets along with an animated GIF. The first set contains wide angle views of the completed 3DGS from several different perspectives to show the overall reconstruction of the work bench. The second set shows the dense point cloud data highlighting the amount of geometry captured throughout the scene. The final set consists of closeup views that focus on smaller details and surface quality. While the 3DGS appears a bit soft in these closeups, I find that is generally consistent with the capabilities of the POP 4. I did not use any reference photo images taken from a standalone camera to help boost the quality of the 3DGS even though it’s an option in Revo Scan 6, this was all captured by the Pop 4. I felt it was more important to present the results honestly than to hide the limitations or artificially boost the quality even though it’s supported through the software. The closeup images help illustrate both where the scanner performed well and where the challenges of a large mixed-material scene begin to show.

If there’s a new scanner in the upcoming beta lineup that might be able to outperform the POP 4 on a challenging scene like this, then I’d love to put it through a similar test and compare the results. I also have a few other project ideas in mind depending on what the new scanners are designed for, but this workbench scan felt like a good way to start by pushing beyond the typical single-object workflow.

For an imported Corvette c8, a spoop cap was needed for the TÜV in Germany. One page was still available, so scanned, post-processed, mirrored and printed. Result: TÜV for the Corvette, because the accuracy of the MeteoY Ultra is really ultra.

Convince yourself of the quality of the Metro Y Ultra:

I don’t care if I win here, because I’ve already won with the scanner!

I would be an excellent candidate to test your 3D scanner because I’m passionate about 3D scanning, 3D modelling, and 3D printing, and I actively use these technologies for real-world projects and business applications. I’m particularly interested in evaluating scanning accuracy, fine details, ease of use, speed, and the quality of the final 3D models.

I can test the scanner on different subjects and objects, including people, small detailed items, and practical parts, and provide honest, constructive feedback based on actual use. I would also love to share my results, photos, and completed projects to demonstrate what your scanner can achieve.

For me, this would be more than simply testing a product — it would be an opportunity to help improve a technology I genuinely love and use. I’m ready to dedicate my time to thoroughly testing the scanner and providing valuable feedback that can help make your product even better. I would be truly excited to be part of your beta testing team!

My best scans are ones that turned into First Time Ever action figures for wrestling legends and independent wrestlers. I’m Mikey Cheese, independent professional wrestler of 25 years. A life long wrestling figure collector, and creative mind. I’ve expanded my knowledge and use of Revopoint products from the Pop, Pop 3, Pop 4, mini, mini 2 and the Miraco. The Miraco has proved most useful for scanning heads of wrestlers in person which gets additional work flow and eventually becomes a adult collectible wrestling figure. My best and favorite scan so far was of WCW wrestling legend and current independent wrestler Crowbar! What an honor to be able to immortalize these guys in figure form! I need to constantly improve and that’s why I always buy the latest and greatest from Revopoint… Throw a freaking bone here on the Miraco 2 :joy: I think I’m $5000 into you guys at this point, good at making videos on social media that get engagement. Not the biggest following 1300 Facebook another 1300 Instagram.

Hi everyone!

I’m a CAD engineer working in a research company, and over the last 15 years I’ve spent a lot of time reverse engineering all sorts of components. Most of my work has been on automotive parts such as engines, transmissions, pumps and plenty of one‑off or bespoke pieces that end up being machined or 3D printed.

My main tool has been a high‑end laser scanner mounted on a CMM arm, which I also use for metrology and inspection work. It’s a fantastic bit of kit in terms of accuracy, but it’s also big, expensive, and not the easiest thing to drag out into the field. Remote setups can be a bit of a hassle.

Over the years I’ve watched portable scanning tech improve massively. faster capture rates, better data quality, and way more affordable devices. I haven’t had the chance to try these smaller scanners yet, but I’m really interested in how they compare to the hardware and software I’m used to.

For reverse engineering I mainly use Geomagic Design X, though I switch to Fusion 360 for personal projects at home. I would like to explore other options and try and test out new hardware and as well as newer software for personal projects. I’m actually looking at maybe starting a YouTube channel focused on designing and creating parts for classic cars, especially where original components are becoming harder to find. So I’m keen to explore how these newer portable scanners might fit into that workflow.

Hello everyone, My name is Marijn Huizing and im a 3d hobbyist/startup.

This is maybe a weird scan, but I am working on a shoe for a cow, because the hooves can grow absesses so with these shoes we releive it from pressure. Still a work in progress but ive scanned about 4 legs. and yes. they are cut off (from a slaughterhouse) and put some bandage on top. with one of the scans you can see the top is not really well done, but that was because someone had to pull on it to get the hoove to the right position.

Let me know if you have any questions :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

I have scanned multiple parts with the Miraco and the Peel3d scanner. I enjoy the portability and stand alone of the miraco. The peel3d works fast and i can scan a while car in about 1-2 hours abs it finds its point after losing tracking with minimal ghosting. Im excited to see how the miraco 2 handles scans. I like the fact it does deep hole with the single laser point. I have used this function on a $50k plus 3d scanner. I have attached photos from the Miraco only, not my other 3d scanner. I have scanned brackets for car spoilers, controllers for custom grips, parts for cosplayers etc.
