Revopoint MetroX 3D Scanner- Everything You Need to Know

Discussions MetroX

Hi @yannick
To run and proceed Full Field and Auto mode you need at least

Ryzen 5 4500U

For Laser mode no lower than
Ryzen 5 7600 ( it did not worked using Ryzen 5 5600G )

Plus RTX 3050 or equivalent to it

33GB is minimal requirements but you may have not enough memory to process bigger scans at higher settings .

Remember that MetroX produces very dense 3D scans of 50 millions points to 180 millions polygons , to process that you really need s proper workstation .
Or your waiting time for processing will take forever .

126

I have a CPU Intel(R) Coreā„¢ i7-6820HQ
and NVIDIA Quadro P4000
Mainly i have to scan 10x10x10 cm items.
Will that be sufficient for full field and auto mode?

127

Even scanning a palm of the hand requires more than 16GB for processing at full quality .

The Minimum requirements are not for nothing .
If you encounter issues nobody will able to help you .

But before you waste money for a new laptop , experience it first and see if you can do it ā€¦
Scanning yes, but you will need a very good patience for the processing time .

I know you looking for a quality scanning , but not with that laptop

If Revopoint build even higher resolution scanners then we will soon need a cloud service :rofl:

129

It would be already usable in so many cases !

I want a full human scan at 0.05mm :joy:
Canā€™t afford quantum computer :laughing:

ā† mumbles something about eight 64-core 1TB RAM servers with dual Nvidia Teslas at work and that people might be wondering why their workloads are running slower than usualā€¦

Andy, after the GPU acceleration
We may not need it .
As long they use it also for processing .

I did huge test already ā€¦ took me 6 hours to process ā€¦ crashed at the end .
My RTX was like ā€¦girl I can only take 24GB , what you doing !

Remember for 24GB of VRAM you need to save 24GB of RAM

At the end I had only 16GB left from what 9GB was for the system

Game over ā€¦ So much of 64GB of RAM

And you ask me , why we canā€™t scan cars with MINI 2 ?

Do you actually need the performance for fusing or meshing?

Fusing to is fast , meshing and other edits can take longer if the same scan is huge , Zbrush no better .

134

You can scan car with mini2, theoretically :joy_cat::joy_cat::joy_cat:
90% surface area are full of markers

135

Would any of these be suitable?

136

Iā€™d want more than 16GB RAM. 32GB or 64GB ideally.

137

yeah, you can configure it how much you wantā€¦ but is aliexpress a good idea?

138

I was not referring to scanning , I was referring to processing at 0.05 or 0.02 mm you canā€™t do that .

139

Just go for this only $200 more

Donā€™t go with the slowest , if that is good idea ? Well electronics are electronics
But I bought 10 years ago windows tablet on Ali and it still working for $200 battery holding like crazy , so sometimes you have a good buy .

I know you want best scans and fast , this is your choice but whatever you do , donā€™t go for the i7 please ā€¦ and at least 32GB minimal

140

Personally, I wouldnā€™t buy a laptop from AliExpress. Warranty claims will be difficult. Much better to pay a bit more and buy from a supplier that operates in your country.

141

I never do more than tablets an the one I got have 2 systems , win/Android best buy ever lol
I create my own computers , never will buy it online again

142

Seems like it is not only ā€œa bitā€ more. Under 3k nothing suitable in Germany.

143

Cathy, what about this one?

Why not buy a motherboard, case, ram, cpu, psu, and gpu and put one together? You can easily build something great for less than 2k. I just replaced the motherboard, cpu, and ram in my main PC for Ā£800 and that was with a Ryzen 9 7950X3D, 64GB DDR-5.
