Hello everyone, I’m planning to buy a Revopoint 3D scanner, but before making a decision I want real-world feedback from users. I build custom furniture, so I need very accurate scans of interior spaces—especially wall dimensions, wall angles, and overall room geometry. If anyone has a scanner available and can test by scanning a few walls (including corners and angles) and share their results, I would really appreciate it. I’m interested in how accurate the scanner is with dimensions, how well it captures angles, and which Revopoint model performs best for this work. Any feedback, sample scans, or recommendations would be very helpful before I choose which scanner to buy. Thank you in advance!
Hi @Yanko
Revopoint scanners are not designed for scanning walls & rooms . They are designed to scanning three-dimensional objects only.

Hi Yanko,
Lidar scanners would be more suited to your project but can be expensive !

It can be done. You just have to put enough laser dots on the wall to track….that’d be a lot on a large space. I did a Roxor (Jeep looking side by side) with an Einscan HX and used about 4000 dots and it took me 2.5 days. I find the MetroX (with the latest software) to be about equivalent to the HX. We tried it with a LEO and failed. My buddy has a Simscan I like a lot, but it’s $30k. About to get a MetroY Pro, nothing wrong with my MetroX, just want more…

Hi @MonsterMaxx for smaller corners and partial scans yes , but not for big flat walls , and if even , only Trackit can do best flat big areas at this level . And no need markers.
But official I can’t make promises that it will works with walls 100% and keep the massuments intact at a very big scale. Lots of data will be processed and need powerful system to handle it.
Metro series are not made for that kind of job.
But your example is still an object, not a room. If you already have the scanner and you want to try something like room scale scanning sure, give it a shot. But if you’re looking for a scanner specifically for scanning rooms it’d be extremely frustrating.
My advice would be to rent a proper lidar scanner per job (or hire someone) unless you do it enough in the normal course of business to justify a $30K scanner (and the inevitable software subscription).
Well it can be done , but not really recommended unless you use Trackit at least .
Here’s a quick scan of part of my home office just to show you can indeed scan blank walls. It’s filled with junk so I can’t really get a lot of unobstructed views of the walls, but that highlights some of the challenges of using Trackit. Namely, you have to get within 40cm of the surface everywhere you want to scan and my clutter makes that difficult. Also the FOV is limited so think of it as having to paint the entire room with a paint roller from 40cm away (and you only have 4m of cable between you and the tracker).
The nice thing is you can get super detailed scans of whatever you want along with your larger room dimensions.
Only that with Trackit ? I scanned 8 ft wall with Range 1 , not exactly empty wall either but from the top to the bottom .
I am sure you could capture the whole thing , just setting it on higher point distance for the preview .
That was the FOV of the tracker from left to right from about 12’ away. My clutter got in the way of what’s missing in between. 
If you click the “large” setting during scanning it fixes the preview at 3mm. I don’t know what else that setting does.
