Welcome to the unboxing of the new Revopoint scanner, the RANGE2.
The Range2 is the successor to the Range and falls into the category of structured light scanners designed for capturing medium to large-sized objects.
It features a capture window ranging from 220x425mm to 860x1380mm with a resolution as fine as 0.1mm.
This scanner has everything needed for scanning large surfaces while maintaining extremely high resolution and detail.
It allows for fast and accurate scanning of subjects ranging from cars to people, statues, furniture details, artifacts, and ancient objects without any issues. Its portability is enhanced by its power bank, and the option to use a smartphone or tablet for data storage.
Now, let’s dive into the unboxing and explore what’s included in the rich RANGE2 package.
The box, branded Revopoint, clearly indicates the presence of batteries, as mentioned before, as the package includes a power bank for power supply.
Inside the shipping box, we find the familiar white packaging that Revopoint has accustomed us to, featuring a photo of the scanner.
Upon opening the package, we find a beautiful alcantara bag that allows us to store and transport our scanner and its accessories with absolute safety and convenience. The bag features a double zipper and has the Revopoint logo impressed on the front.
Opening the transport bag, we can see that it consists of two parts: a front section where the scanner, battery, tripod, and phone holder are housed…
…and a rear section where we find the cables and other accessories.
Let’s take a closer look at what is included in the package.
In the first part of the bag, as mentioned, we find the holder for attaching the smartphone, which fits onto the tripod (which, when closed, serves as a handle), making everything very compact. Also included is the screw plate for quick attachment to the tripod with its fastening system. Of course, there’s the tripod itself with extendable legs and an adjustable head, allowing you to use the scanner as a supported device. When closed, it conveniently serves as a handle.
The tripod’s extendable legs feature a safety mechanism that prevents them from closing unless the release button inside is pressed.
The power bank comes in the form of a cylinder to be screwed onto the handle and has a capacity of 4000mAh. It features 2 ports: a USB-A for powering the scanner and a USB-C for charging. The scanner can also be powered directly from a smartphone or tablet, provided they support USB power delivery. However, if this is not the case or if you want to use the RANGE2 in Wi-Fi mode, you can comfortably power it using this power bank.
In the rear part of the bag, there are several pockets for organizing various cables and adapters. In the first pocket, you’ll find the certification of testing and the quick instruction manual for the scanner.
Now, let’s move on to the connecting cables. There are two different cables, depending on how you want to connect and use the scanner.
-
Y-cable with a USB-C connector on one end, featuring a screw ring to connect to the scanner. On the other end, there are two ports: a USB-A for power supply from the power bank and a USB-C for connecting to a smartphone/tablet.
-
Cable with a USB-A connector on one end for connecting to the PC, and on the other end, a USB-C connector with a screw attachment for connecting to the scanner. This 2-meter-long cable provides considerable freedom of movement.
A small screwdriver for tightening the quick-release support under the scanner or securing the cable connection screws. An adapter from USB-C to USB-A.
High-visibility markers for scans in marker mode, and the now famous Magic Mat, a carpet with
high-visibility markers printed on it. The Magic Mat allows for marker mode scans by simply placing the object on it and selecting the marker mode during scanning. If the subjects are large, it is still advisable to apply additional markers on the object’s surface. The provided Magic Mat is truly spacious, with a surface area of 800x600mm.
Now, let’s take a look at the actual scanner!
Ladies and gentlemen, the RANGE2!
The RANGE2 comes with a much cleaner and more angular design than its predecessor. The shapes are rounded and harmonious, although with more squared details that make its form truly pleasing and give an impression of greater solidity compared to its predecessor.
In the center of the front side, there is the Class 1 infrared laser projector. It projects the pattern of structured light, which is then detected by the two depth cameras located on the sides of the scanner. This information is used for reconstructing the geometry of the subject.
On the front side, on the right, there is one of the two depth cameras with two infrared LEDs above and below it for illumination. Additionally, there is an RGB camera with four white LEDs for detailed and well-lit texture capture.
Still on the front side, on the upper left, you’ll find the other depth camera with its corresponding infrared LEDs.
On the rear side, there are three physical buttons, the connection port, and status LEDs.
The connection port is a standard USB-C, as Revopoint has accustomed us to since the INSPIRE. The port is equipped with a threaded insert to secure the connection cables, ensuring they don’t come loose during scanning. On either side of the port, there are two status LEDs: one to the left indicating the connection status, and one to the right indicating power. In the center, there are 3 physical buttons, serving, in order, to decrease the infrared exposure during scanning, to start or pause the scan, and to increase the exposure.
These buttons prove extremely useful during scanning, allowing convenient parameter adjustments without interacting with the smartphone or PC screen.
As for technical specifications, the RANGE2 stands out as a scanner with very high standards and numerous innovations compared to its predecessor. The system is powered by a 2-core processor at 1.8GHz, enabling scanning speeds of 16 fps. It is equipped with a 9-axis IMU inertial sensor, allowing the RANGE2 to precisely understand movements and maintain subject tracking more accurately. The connectivity is fast and reliable, as mentioned earlier, with a USB-C port or Wi-Fi 6. The RANGE2 can scan very large objects in a very short time, thanks to its enormous capture window, which, at a distance of 1300mm, is an impressive 860x1380 with a single-frame detail of just 0.1mm! This scanner, paired with the Revoscan5 software, which has undergone significant development in the past year, making it a standard in 3D scanning, truly represents an excellent tool for medium to large-scale scans.
Here is a visual comparison between the RANGE and the RANGE2 scanners.
Now, all that’s left is to field-test the new RANGE2 and see what it’s capable of!
I’d like to remind you that the RANGE2 is currently on a launch offer, and you can find it at the following links:
