What are the differences between POP 3, MINI, MINI 2, RANGE, RANGE 2, and INSPIRE?

Scanning Scenarios:

The INSPIRE is for hobbyists, 3D printing enthusiasts, and makers who want to scan medium-sized objects.

The RANGE and RANGE 2 are designed for professionals who want to scan large objects such as furniture, human bodies, and vehicles, ensuring efficient and thorough scanning results.

The MINI and MINI 2 are designed for professionals who want to scan smaller objects such as jewelry, miniature figurines, or hardware components, providing precise detail-capturing capabilities.

The POP 3 is designed for professionals who want to scan medium-sized objects, such as engine parts or vases.

Recommend Scan Volumes:

MINI: 10 mm x 10 mm x 10 mm ~ 500 mm x 500 mm x 500 mm.

MINI 2: 10 mm x 10 mm x 10 mm ~ 500 mm x 500 mm x 500 mm.

POP 3: 20 mm x 20 mm x 20 mm ~ 2000 mm x 2000 mm x 2000 mm.

RANGE: 70 mm x 70 mm x 70 mm ~ 4000 mm x 4000 mm x 4000 mm.

RANGE 2: 50 mm x 50 mm x 50 mm ~ 4000 mm x 4000 mm x 4000 mm.

INSPIRE: 50 mm x 50 mm x 50 mm ~ 1000 mm x 1000 mm x 1000 mm.

What’s special about INSPIRE’s IMU?

INSPIRE’s IMU is a 9-axis IMU with a gyroscope, accelerometer, and magnetometer that all work together to help INSPIRE understand its location as you move the scanner around an object. This, in turn, helps INSPIRE to provide smoother frame stitching as well as helping to eliminate any faulty frames captured caused by shaking or moving too fast.

What is Magic Mat?

Magic Mat is a 50 cm x 50 cm black mat with highly reflective marker points across its surface that is designed to make scanning featureless objects much easier by removing the need to place marker points on the item.

How do I recalibrate the INSPIRE’s IMU?

In Revo Scan 5’s Home Screen, click on the settings icon next to INSPIRE’s name. Then click on the “Start Calibration” button to start the process. Follow the on-screen instructions to recalibrate your INSPIRE.

Do you need a powerful computer to use the INSPIRE?

No, the INSPIRE’s algorithms and internal chip do most of the processing.
Minimum specs: Intel i5, 8GB RAM.
Recommended specs: Intel i7, 16GB RAM.
No discrete GPU like an Nvidia or AMD graphics card is needed to use INSPIRE.

What technology does the INSPIRE use?

INSPIRE uses class 1 infrared structured light, dual depth cameras, and advanced algorithms to output detailed 3D models.

Software
Can INSPIRE safely scan humans and animals?

Yes, the INSPIRE is entirely eye and skin-safe as it uses class 1 infrared light.

Does INSPIRE have 3D scanning software?

Yes, the INSPIRE comes with Revo Scan for free. It is compatible with iOS, macOS, Android, and Windows devices. In Revo Scan, you can perform scans and post-processing.

What formats can Revo Scan export?

Revo Scan can export your models in PLY, OBJ, STL, ASC, 3MF, GLTF and FBX for compatibility with most 3D modeling, slicer, and CAD software.

Can objects scanned with INSPIRE be 3D printed?

Yes, the scanned models can be output in STL format, which is compatible with most slicer software.

Is third-party scanning software available for INSPIRE?

No, INSPIRE is only compatible with the Revo Scan software, which you can download from our website or your device's app store. However, the models generated by the scan are compatible with nearly all third-party 3D modeling software.

Does INSPIRE need internet access to work?

No, INSPIRE does not need to be connected to an internet-capable network to work.

How do I export scanned models on my phone?

You can send the projects on your phone to a PC. Ensure your phone and PC are connected to the same Wi-Fi network. Don’t minimize the app or turn off your phone's screen during the file transfer, or the transfer will fail.
● Import from Phone via Verification Code
1. Click the Import From Phone button.
2. Open Revo Scan V5.0 or above on your phone, and find the project you want to share.
3. Tap the Share icon.
4. Enter the code shown on your PC to your smartphone.
5. Start file transferring.
● Import from Phone via Scanning QR Code
1. Click the Import From Phone button.
2. Click the QR Code icon.
3. Open Revo Scan V5.0 or above on your phone, and find the project you want to share.
4. Tap the Share icon.
5. Scan the QR code on your PC.
6. Start file transferring.

What are marker points used for?

Marker points are stuck on or around objects without geometric features so the INSPIRE can track what it is scanning. When using Marker points, place them in irregular patterns with around 3-5 cm between the markers across the object you’re scanning, and ensure that there are 5 marker points always in the frame when scanning.

How do I use the Mini Turntable?

Connect the Mini turntable to either your computer or a plug to power it, then use the controls on the Mini turntable’s side.

Scanning Tips
Do more frames scanned mean better 3D scan accuracy?

No, repeated scanning makes your model worse. One scan close to the object will result in the best accuracy.

Are there any objects that the INSPIRE can’t scan?

Like most 3D scanners, highly reflective, transparent, or dark objects can only be effectively scanned using 3D scanning spray to coat the object’s surface.

Can I use the INSPIRE outdoors?

Yes, but it will not work well in direct sunlight. The INSPIRE is not water resistant, so avoid outdoor scanning on rainy days.

What’s the minimum size of an object INSPIRE can scan?

INSPIRE has a minimum scan volume of 50 mm x 50 mm x 50 mm.

Can INSPIRE scan objects smaller than 50 mm x 50 mm x 50 mm?

Yes, but advanced scanning skills and post-processing are needed. Keep in mind that the smaller the object and its details, the less INSPIRE will be able to detect, as it’s optimized for medium-sized object scanning.
