Revopoint Certified Engineer!

Support & Feedback Customer support

Hello! The title is a bit out there, but I need to grab the attention of Revopoint management!

I’ve had this idea for a while, but seeing a competitor recently start something similar pushed me to open the topic here today. I know if I send this through the standard “Contact Us” form, it might not reach the strategic decision-makers. My guess is that this forum has better reach, and I want the community to weigh in before anything is set in stone.

The Core Idea: The Revopoint Certification Program
The 3D scanning industry currently lacks a unified, globally recognized certification standard. Revopoint has the opportunity to become the default “textbook” for the industry by offering official, structured certifications.

To make this work, there must be a clear progression path, where passing the previous tier is a prerequisite for the next. Crucially, to maintain prestige, all practical testing (RCSE and above) must be conducted strictly face-to-face. 3D scanning is a tactile, physical skill. You cannot verify if a user understands tracking loss, physical distance, or ambient lighting through a web browser.

Here is the proposed structure:

RCA (Revopoint Certified Associate): Covers the ecosystem overview, basic UI, and hardware lineup.

RCRSE (Revopoint Certified RevoScan Engineer): The certified person understands how to use the RevoScan software deeply—every single step, algorithm, and setting to achieve the best outcome from any scan.

RCSE (Revopoint Certified Scanning Engineer): Focuses strictly on hardware handling. This covers scanning techniques, environmental challenges, marker placement, and understanding point cloud accuracy vs. resolution. (A person knowing how to utilize a scanner 100% is vastly better than 80%).

RCME (Revopoint Measuring Engineer): Teaches the basics of metrology, best scanning practices to get the best mesh for measuring, and mastering Revopoint Measure.

RCRE (Revopoint Certified Reverse Engineering Engineer): The certified person has mastered Reverse Engineering workflows using RevoDesign, from basic to advanced parametric modeling.

RCC (Revopoint Certified Consultant): Someone who has achieved all 5 previous tiers gets this master-level badge automatically. Hard work should be rewarded.

RCT (Revopoint Certified Trainer): A strict “Train the Trainer” tier. This is an exclusive, face-to-face workshop that must initially take place at Revopoint Headquarters. It ensures trainers are vetted directly by Revopoint engineers, proving their technical mastery and teaching ability before they represent the brand globally.

Why Revopoint Needs to Implement This (The Business Case):

  1. Owning the Industry Standard (First-Mover Advantage & Revenue)
    By offering the RCT level, trainers can initiate their own face-to-face courses worldwide using Revopoint devices. Here is why this is highly profitable for Revopoint: you don’t pay the trainers. The trainers operate independently, charging students for their localized classes. Revopoint profits by selling bulk hardware to these trainers for their labs, charging a small exam-generation fee on the portal, and guaranteeing future sales because every graduating student becomes a Revopoint hardware buyer.

  2. Decentralized, Grassroots Support
    Right now, users needing help have to dig through Facebook groups or this forum. Certified users change that by becoming local, trusted hubs for assistance. I am personally listed on the MikroTik website as a Certified Consultant. While I handle professional networking, I constantly get regular consumers asking for help with small issues, which I do my best to solve. This program builds Revopoint a massive, free, decentralized support network.

  3. Cultivating Brand Loyalty & A Global Directory
    If Revopoint creates a global directory for certified professionals, you are feeding your users business. When you help users make money, they become fiercely loyal. They will exclusively buy newer Revopoint devices and recommend them to everyone. It creates an incredible brand loyalty—exactly how I am in love with MikroTik and wish everyone used their hardware.

  4. Holding Distributors Accountable
    I know of a distributor who actively bad-mouthed Revopoint, claiming the software was “very bad” simply because they didn’t know how to use it. You can fix this overnight: require every Authorized Distributor to have at least one RCA or RCSE on staff. This forces the middleman to be an expert and stops them from blaming your software for their own lack of knowledge.

  5. Realistic Recertification & RCT Upkeep
    Technology moves fast, but requiring full-price recertification every 2 years causes fatigue. A 4-year recertification cycle is perfect. Furthermore, the recertification fee should be heavily discounted—acting merely as an administrative upkeep fee rather than a full-price exam.
    For the RCTs (Trainers), they should not need to retake the HQ bootcamp. They can maintain their active status simply by teaching a minimum quota of documented courses per year, and perhaps attending a 3-year follow-up ‘Trainer Summit’ (which could be held at major expos like TCT Asia or Formnext).
    Finally, offer your RCCs and RCTs a discounted yearly software subscription. It’s a price professionals won’t mind paying, and it guarantees recurring revenue from your highest-tier users.

A Note on Urgency:
I am posting this publicly because I want community feedback, but Revopoint management needs to act quickly: your competitors read these forums too. If another manufacturer takes this exact blueprint and launches their certification program first, they will capture the “industry standard” crown, and anyone who follows will just look like a copycat. The opportunity to own this space is right now, before a competitor steals the first-mover advantage.

If you go ahead with this, please PLEASE!! do not forget me in the process, I would love to be part of it.

@Revopoint a reply would be nice, otherwise I rather delete the post if it will sit here without notice :slight_smile:

Wow, that is a lot.

Who would benefit from this?
Even the high-end scanner manufacturers aren’t talking about this, let alone the manufacturer of “hobby-grade” scanners.

I use my scanner (MetroY Pro) professionally for reverse engineering; my clients have no clue what 3D scanning entails and aren’t interested in it either, let alone whether I am certified. The only thing they care about is the end result of the final products I deliver.
With all due respect, I don’t see the point of this.

Thanks for the honest feedback! You actually hit the nail on the head regarding your clients, but let me explain why that actually proves the point of this proposal.

You are 100% right: your client who needs a reverse-engineered part does not care how you got there or what badge you hold. They just want the final CAD file or the physical part.

But this certification program isn’t designed for your end client. It’s designed for the ecosystem.

Think of it like the IT and networking world (which is my background). When you use a company’s Wi-Fi or browse a website, you don’t care if their network engineer holds a Cisco or MikroTik certification .. you just want the internet to work. But the enterprise hiring that engineer, the university teaching the subject, and the distributor selling the servers absolutely rely on those certifications as a baseline of trust.

Here is who actually benefits and why it matters:

  1. Shedding the “Hobby-Grade” Stigma
    You mentioned Revopoint is sometimes viewed as hobby-grade. That is exactly what this program fixes! Actually, the high-end industrial manufacturers (like Artec with their Gold Certified Partners, or Creaform’s Academy) do have rigorous certification and training programs. If Revopoint wants enterprise clients, engineering firms, and universities to buy fleets of the Metro series (like the one you use), they need an official curriculum. Big institutions rarely adopt hardware without an official training path.

  2. Fixing Terrible Distributors
    Right now, a reseller can buy Revopoint stock, fail to understand the software because they didn’t read the manual, and tell customers, “the scanner is bad.” If Revopoint forces distributors to have a certified expert on staff, it guarantees the people selling and supporting the hardware actually know how to use it, protecting the brand’s reputation.

  3. Creating a Teaching Economy
    Maybe as a professional delivering final parts, you don’t need the badge. But for someone who wants to open a training center, teach at a makerspace, or become an official B2B consultant, this gives them the authorized backing to monetize their knowledge and train the next generation of users.

So you are completely right .. a certificate won’t change your daily workflow with your current clients. But for Revopoint to transition from a consumer brand into a true industrial heavyweight, they need the professional infrastructure to back it up.

Just a small note, If I want to use Revopoint or any scanner for that matter in a governmental institute in my country, they will prefer working with someone certified, and like I mentioned, Creaform and Artec do have such kind of certification but not a friendly one like what I am suggesting.

It would benefit you as well if you decide to get it “if Revopoint decides to read this and implement something like it” , myself as a Mikrotik Consultant I get calls all the time from people who want someone “Certified” even though I knew everything I needed to know before getting certified, its just a way to tell the client, I am certified and someone else they might be looking at is not.

Hi @binadhed

Please send your feedback to customer@revopoint3d.com

This is our user community , don’t expect any public feedbacks on this matter in the forum.
That’s not the place to deal with it .
Any decisions like that are decided by the company board and the CEOs. So I strongly advice you to send an email.

Thank you for your feedback

Thanks for the heads-up! I’ve just sent the full proposal to that email address.

The reason I originally posted it here was to get feedback from actual users to refine the idea before sending it up the chain. Plus, in my experience, sending strategic business proposals to a general customer service inbox usually means they get buried as standard tech support tickets. I was hoping a public discussion might catch the eye of a community manager here who could ensure it actually reaches the decision-makers on the board.

I appreciate the advice, and I’m hoping management takes a serious look at it!
