Bring the X

Revopoint really upping their game with this one. I know it’s one step at a time but I find it really exciting to follow the direction they are heading and wonder what else they will be bringing to us in the future.

A company that doesn’t stand still will always have my backing.

Nice to see the two axis turntable finally being used in sync :laughing:

Only other important spec (yet) missing is the capturing frame rate😁

That will depends of your apple phone CPU …well not :joy:

Well they bringing out what users wanted , not everyone will profit from it but most professionals that are into reverse engineering and 3D modeling will .
In short for advanced users with good 3D skills , less for just scan to print scenario.

Is there any chance or official remark for tracking without “reflecting dot markers” on any mode?
I’m a bit sad, that there is no IR Mode and therefore also no Texture Tracking mode or anything like that.

That is not that kind of scanner , never was planned to be . We have lots of IR scanners already , people want something else to reach their goals where IR did not worked out, like for example scanning dark or shiny objects without the need of 3D spray .

but I would be not mad if the IR mode was included

I just was thinking about new tracking methods. With Crossing Lasers it might be possible to track by feature, or maybe use IR also for tracking. I would like to see more innovation on Tracking, Hybrid Tracking modes. I also saw someone scanning with an other product that has Texture Tracking. That was also impressive. I also like that there seems to be something like synced scanning on the 2 Way Turntable. That is something Revopoint can match the use cases and needs. Thanks!
But hey, when there is no IR - it is another bit, that the Miraco is still not obsolete :wink:

Normally with crossing laser lines you don’t use feature tracking for scanning , it is not structured light technology . So it don’t need texture tracking or feature tracking .
As you observed in the images it uses marker points for tracking so probably global markers .

Normally only single laser line don’t need features and markers .

So all the new tracking stuff not really apply here.
And the structures light laser mode will probably also use global markers .

The whole point of MetroX is to get best accuracy and excellent measurements that can be used in more professional applications .

Each technology have its limits and we just reached the limits of IR structured light technology and it can’t be better regarding accuracy .

cant replace mini🫨🫨🫨
but also cant replace range ir scan
so i need keep mini and range instead trade in lol

MetroX can’t replace it . Keep it

I think every scanner in the Revopoint variety has its own place, none of these replaces another really/completely - they’re overlapping.
If it would be like that, RP did something wrong. Maybe you can argue MetroX will replace a Mini. But I think a Mini has another Price Point. So we all have to decide somehow.
Even if you have them all you have to decide which to use for what job :slight_smile:

It can’t because it has a little lower accuracy than MINI SERIES .

On top I know some stuff you don’t yet … :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

I always choice my weapon of choice for a specific job and I have them all . Lol

For a little longer :joy: … everything is complex in this case so I would suggest everyone wait for the official specifications , other way we going to make from it something that don’t even exist while speculating about and I can’t even correct you on anything .

Be patient, good things comes to those that wait

Unfortunately I haven’t been able to scan with a Revopoint yet, however I do have some experiences with 3d scanning. I’ve fiddled with a Kinect Camera and a DIY line laser scanner, just to see how well it works.

I’ve also used photogrammetry as well as a professional 3d scanning device (the Artec Eva). So I have some experience with a lot of different backgrounds to 3D scan an object.

However, I still haven’t been able to create the result I’m wishing for: 3d scan a complete car, with correct measurements.

So I would love to beta test the new MetroX and see how well it would be able to, using the new techniques!

MetroX is for scanning small to medium objects .
It has enormous data collection capacity that why you need to scan smaller areas .
Please don’t forget that cross line lasers needs always markers , never attempt to scan a car at once , it will never scan correctly and will be out of proportions.

Regarding “beta testing” there is only one opening available and already long entries list in another thread . Check the other recruiting thread under Announcements in the forum and post your resume .
The team will choice the best entry !

Thank you for the extended reply, if I’m not mistaken the facebook post for the beta test pointed me towards this specific post.

Yes, I’m often thinking, why isn’t used that for other scanners like Mini or Miraco in a kind of Tripod/Turntable mode.
