Hello everyone, a few days ago I received the new Revopoint scanner, the Range (beta version) and a big roundtable for the Body scan. The windows software (beta) compatible with the new scanner (and to connect and use the hand stabilizer too) was released today. Eager to see how this works I did a test with a sculpture, which I could scan using the big turntable (placed on a table, rather than on the floor). The big turntable was created for the body scan but, for those who need it, also to scan large objects (weighing up to 100 kg) such as sculptures. The most immediate impression is that it does not lose track during scanning. The format of the scanner is much larger than other Revopoint scanners, but on the other hand, the scanner is really light. There are many new features of the software (which we will learn more about later). After completing the scan, the point cloud was exported and meshed in CloudCompare. The cut of the base was made in MeshMixer. Below is the result of this first quick test (as soon as possible) Now, after this first quick test, I plan to use it to scan larger objects (in my case more bigger sculptures). I’m also thinking about antique furniture. Also, as soon as it becomes available, I will carry out tests with the Mac version of RevoScan. ---

Do you by any chance have the possibility to compare the Range to Einscan Einstar? Your opinion on these two would be of great interest. ---

@ivan I don’t think that is the right place to talk about in respect to Davide thread . We don’t want it to be shut down as the other thread as it is against the forum TOS But I would tell you only one thing , if it was as good I would purchased it but beside good software and shiny hardware, there is nothing else of my interest …meaning the final mesh output… I have already POP1 … 😉 I don’t think you can even compare it to Range, definitely not based on the quality of the meshes . Let’s end it by that … ---
