Ispanico97 - MetroY Pro Showases

[Ispanico97]

An iconic vintage camera, captured down to the smallest detail.

3D scan of an Olympus Pen EE-3 performed with Revopoint MetroY Pro.

The model was acquired in Cross-Line laser mode using High Precision settings and Marker tracking. The scan was carried out in two sessions, rotating the subject 180° between acquisitions to ensure full geometric coverage.

The point clouds were fused at 0.15 mm resolution. After removing isolated and overlapping points, the lower contact areas were trimmed to eliminate imperfect regions that could introduce artifacts during alignment. The two scans were then merged using the Merging function in RevoMetro 5, and the final mesh was generated at 0.15 mm resolution.

The resulting model shows high surface definition and strong geometric continuity. Clearly readable details include not only the textured plastic grip surface and the fine threads of the tripod mount, but also the very shallow engravings of the “Made in Japan” marking and the serial number, which are barely incised on the original body.

The entire workflow was stable and straightforward, confirming the reliability of MetroY Pro when digitizing objects with mixed surfaces and extremely fine details.

What do you think?

Great showcase ! Thanks for sharing Daniele !

Thin structures, complex organic shapes, and lots of small details… a perfect subject to put the MetroY Pro to the test.

This time I scanned an action figure of Kafka Hibino in his Kaiju form, from the anime Kaiju No. 8.

The figure measures 93 × 110 × 192 mm and turned out to be a very interesting object to digitize. Besides the highly defined muscular anatomy and the armor textures, it also features several thin dynamic elements, especially the energy strands extending from the body, which were probably the most challenging parts to capture.

The scan was performed using the Revopoint MetroY Pro in Cross Lines laser mode, with high precision settings, marker tracking, and a point distance of 0.15 mm.

To ensure full coverage of the model, the scanning process was carried out in two sessions, rotating the figure after the first acquisition to capture the contact surfaces and lower areas that were not visible initially.

The resulting point clouds were fused with a tolerance of 0.15 mm, followed by a cleanup step to remove unnecessary parts and a few less accurate areas caused by the scanning position. This helps prevent artifacts during the merging phase.

The two scans were then combined using the automatic merging function in RevoMetro 5, and after a final optimization step (removing isolated and overlapping points), the final mesh was generated with a resolution of 0.10 mm.

The result was surprisingly clean: the scan preserved the muscular anatomy, armor surface textures, and especially the thin energy strands extending from the body, which I initially expected to be much harder to capture.

The model was also tested through 3D printing, proving to be perfectly suitable for this purpose while maintaining excellent fidelity to the original figure.

I’m curious to hear your thoughts:

how would you approach scanning thin elements like these energy strands?

Beautiful Thank you for sharing Daniele!
