Some of you may have seen one of them at recent trade shows.
Our next masterpieces are coming soon.

Impressive! New beasts are coming. Are we finally completing the set with a Metro Z? 
That one one the left looks interesting.

Metro Y Ultra.

Look interesting but Ultra ( right) is so far the best regarding accuracy reaching the impossible 0.015 mm accuracy usually impossible for a handheld commercial 3D scanner in this price range. I thought they would never reach below 0.02mm with this type of scanner.
Next week showcase !

Looks same as Metro Y Pro apart additional depth sensor and Blue Light. If you open link in sketchfab you can find other models in different language too.
MetroY Pro have also Blue Light , but the power withing MetroY Ultra is the new hardware and much more that I can’t share at this moment yet , until official announcement.

@PUTV can you think of a situation in 3d scanning that 0.015 would make difference over scanning at 0.02mm? I think companies chase specs with little improvement in the output/outcome. For example, going from 1920x1080 to 4K resolution made a huge difference. Going to 8k–especially on a desktop size screen, makes little to no sense.
I wish that Revopoint spend their R&D on building the Miraco MetroY (or whatever they are gonna call their stand-alone laser scanner) instead of doing the MetroXPro. I think all the MetroXPro did was dilute and confuse the market with their MetroY line. All the while, the company on the other side of Shenzhen made a stand-alone laser scanner. I am hoping that Revopoint releases their Miraco laser scanner soon. I guess the part that drives me crazy is that 1. Revopoint was first to the consumer market with a stand alone 2. the other scanner has been known about for about 6 months and been for sale for 3. It is not like some new territory or a unknown market for Revopoint. It is THEIR market to lose. It is a slam-dunk product for Revopoint, but they are letting someone else do it. Why?
Instead, we got Metro Y Ultra with 0.005 extra resolution and no stand alone laser scanner. Yea, I am a little disappointed.

Hi Bruce,
I hope you are doing well.
To follow up on our discussion regarding scanner precision, it is important to note that a smaller accuracy rating leads to significantly more precise corners and details. The difference between 0.015 mm and 0.02 mm is actually quite substantial in practice.
Typically, this level of detail is not achievable with handheld scanners, as they require a completely still environment free of any vibrations to function effectively at that resolution. Generally, this level of precision is only seen in stationary systems, such as the Artec Micro, which remain unmovable to achieve such results. Furthermore, because this level of accuracy produces very large file sizes, it is typically reserved for scanning very small objects.
I look forward to sharing more specific technical specifications and results during my showcase next week.
Regarding the future of 3D scanning technology I wanted to share some detailed thoughts on the technical challenges .
Current Android systems lack the significant computing power required for this level of technology, making a near-term implementation unlikely. Attempting to integrate high-performance components like CUDA GPUs or heavy-duty CPUs presents major hurdles in terms of power consumption and thermal management.
Effectively, we would be trying to fit the power of a laptop into a scanner-sized enclosure, which would likely result in less than 30 minutes of runtime and a price point that is prohibitive for the average consumer.
For a 3D laser scanner to be effective, it needs a high density of laser lines and a high frame rate, ideally around 80 fps. To make such a device truly wireless and portable, we would need a substantial power source. However, current battery limitations mean these devices would be difficult to ship via air or take on a plane, and a 30-minute operational window is simply not practical for professional use.
While I believe we may have reached the maximum accuracy possible for the MetroY series and handheld scanners in general, I am very interested in exploring different technologies. I would love to see more development in LIDAR or commercial-grade solutions similar to the drone-mounted scanners Revopoint produced previously for building inspections.
Anyway thank you for your feedback , I look forward to hearing your thoughts on where w
Rebopoint should focus their hardware improvements next.
Happy Holiday’s & Happy Easter everyone , I am off to celebrate. See you on Monday !

omg new model coming again 
Everyone was already wondering why so quiet …

Does Revopoint provide a trade-in upgrade path to owners of earlier models? As someone who supported Revopoint development three times in the past, I found that Revopoint is coming out with new models every few months, making it nearly impossible to sell earlier models for anywhere near what they were purchased for. I took quite a financial hit in selling two of my units, one never even opened & still sealed in the manufacturer’s retail package. Bringing out new technology is wonderful, but not by doing so at the expense of making earlier (but not “old”) models obsolete so quickly.
My suggestion is for Revopoint to figure out how to introduce new technology without making their current technology obsolete before its time. Not everyone needs the latest greatest technology for their purposes, and marketing the full line of products rather than putting all, or most, of your marketing efforts into the latest product might prove to be quite an effective business strategy.
It has been officially announced 
I’m not certain about the hardware, but on paper it appears to be a slightly upgraded version of the Metro Y Pro—faster and capable of outdoor scanning
“No offense, but I think it would be more effective to focus on improving your skills in processing scanned parts rather than constantly buying new scanners. It’s like with cars—buying a new model every year doesn’t necessarily make you a better driver.”

@Revopoint Can a CMM edition ball plate be used with Metro Y Pro for calibration?
I understand this person’s question perfectly, but I’m more concerned about something else: the software. The speed of point cloud collection is rapidly increasing, and the amount of junk data is also growing. The software doesn’t allow you to edit the point cloud before fusion. There’s no filtering for duplicate data. It’s frustrating that processing time for such data exceeds 30 minutes, even on high-end hardware. I’ve personally encountered this.
For example, an area might be scanned poorly. I change the brightness or other settings and start collecting data in that area, but the points already created are duplicated. Without proper point cloud editing before the fusion stage, this is endless processing!!!
I’ll keep writing about this on the forum until the developers hear me. =)))

I know I have it … My showcase coming soon
It is a beast and so far the fastest laser scanner REVOPOINT ever produced and not just an upgrade. 3 million points per second and 90 frames per second is a pro level already. No to mention real time accuracy and precision feature ( CMM) version and with that accuracy it deserves to be on top level. Personally I never thought they can teach the level with a handheld scanner so great surprise. More about the experience in common days in my new thread.
Here some pics of the case .

I would disagree with you , I work mostly with a 35-50 milion poly models , the processing sometimes takes one hour , it is lots of data to be processed and the most professional software that handle this kind of data will not make it any faster , not one that I know .
Fast processing you can expect with models between 3-9 milion anything above that is a pain in processing time using CPU processing .
And it not going to be faster , the downfall of CPU based software in this case.
Don’t blame Revopoint , it is universal issue .
It is not for calibration , it is to check the scanner accuracy and precision in a real time with a special feature in the software to ensure your scanner is ready for the task without guessing if you need calibration or not.
The hardware is the same in Standard vs CMM but the feature maybe be only reserved right now for MetroY Ultra CMM
Hopefully the Ball plate will be sold separately in the future and the access to that feature unlocked for the standard version. Time will tell !
