Revopoint MINI 3D scanner’s great performance in different applications

For designers, engineers, makers, and medical and scientific research workers,it is necessary to quickly build a 3D model. The problem might be that there is a threshold for 3D creation.Technical ability is needed to complete this production and it usually costs a lot of time to study and practice the creation of 3D models.

This difficult situation is solved when the Revopoint MINI series came out. The MINI 3D scanner dramatically lowers the barriers to 3D creative production, allowing it to quickly build a 3D digital world while improving modeling efficiency by more than ten times.

The MINI 3D scanner is very suitable in various areas and can help people with different applications while it offers an affordable price so people can easily get this equipment to help their work.

Using MINI enables you to quickly and accurately reconstruct CAD models consistent with real-life objects and realize the repair, transformation, and innovative design. It can quickly scan industrial spare parts with complex shapes and surfaces and output the models with a point distance of up to 0.05mm and precision of up to 0.02mm. MINI helps people to do reverse engineering.

Reverse Engineering

Here is a showcase from @PopUpTheVolume in Revopoint’s forum. “Scanned Screw adapter 1.4″ – 3/8″ thread and printed out to see if it works, just to make a point, and it did, beautiful clean scan.” PopUpTheVolume comments. To scan screw adapter, print and use it to match with other parts, which makes big stitching errors not be tolerated. So the printed one would not match perfectly with other parts and would not have the use-value

The screw adapter was scanned and printed to be used in the equipment. And the printed screw adapter is perfectly matched.

                                      3D Printed Screw adapter thread 1/4                                                                                              3D Printed Screw adapter thread 3/8

He also shared photos of his little DIY project and made others highly praise the results.

The sharp edges are very well captured by MINI. The good performance of MINI made @ivan exclaim and say “Insane! Insanely good! Such quality scan for so little money (especially compared to other 3D scanners capable of similar quality)! So looking forward to getting mine!”

Cultural research

Of the excellent performance, MINI has got a lot of fans in a short time. What’s more, the MINI 3D scanner can be used to complete non-destructive research on cultural relics and fossils. The scanner reproduces the original color and appearance of cultural relics. Its ability to output models with a precision of up to 0.02mm results in perfectly clear and detailed models whether scanning small objects such as insect fossils or larger ones such as dinosaur remains. Thus when researchers are studying cultural relics and fossils, there are no worries to pay lots of attention to not damaging them by accident.

Here is an example of 3D printed model scanned by MINI, shared by @PopUpTheVolume. The details are perfectly captured and outputted into a complete and clear model, which is almost 100 percent restored the original Marble Jade.

Products design

MINI 3D scanner can be used for other projects such as jewelry design. By accurately capturing the details of the jewelry, the MINI allows for the efficient redesign, engraving, and customization of jewelry, placing professional-level design capabilities and techniques in your hands with ease.

Here is the comment from @PopUpTheVolume when scanning jewelry “And some more stuff scanned with MINI, merged in Revo Studio, and cleaned up with CC. Usually, I would not scan with the stone and remove it before, but this gives me some challenges. I like that MINI can reach much deeper into the volume. The holes under the ring are the diameter of a needle, less than 0.70mm.”

@johnchen replied to his scan “thanks very much for sharing your results and tips. I just backed the MINI and look forward to joining the forum.”

Healthcare Application

Another one of the most advanced features of the MINI 3D scanner is its astounding ability to capture complete facial and body data in seconds, particularly useful in the healthcare industry. This creates customized healthcare solutions that can be used to perform pre-and post-operation analysis and gather data needed for procedures such as plastic and restorative surgery. Today more people prefer to change by procedures but the risk of failure or inappropriate change is unacceptable. MINI helps people to obtain the face or body data and allows doctors to simulate the results of surgery. That reduces the risk and makes the results controlled in a safe range.

AR/VR & animation

For animation, virtual reality, and augmented reality industry practitioners, the MINI 3D scanner can be used to quickly scan objects, resulting in high-quality models and significantly improving game animation models’ design and production efficiency. This reduces the amount of time spent on modeling by more than ten times.

For quality inspection, the MINI 3D scanner can accurately collect the surface data of objects without contact and compare the obtained 3D point cloud model with the designed CAD model, to judge whether the model meets the acceptable tolerance. MINI removes the need for laborious traditional manual measurement and provides an efficient method of quality control.

Compared with other 3D scanners, Revopoint MINI is more compact and portable, and weighs only 160g, allowing people to take it into the bag everywhere. MINI has a scanning speed of up to 10 frames per second. With the help of upgraded intelligent algorithms, it can significantly reduce stitching errors in successive scanning. The integration of a proprietary chip allows MINI to directly output 3D data, bringing people a smooth and stable scanning experience.

With industrial-grade performance, MINI offers an affordable price. People can find on Kickstarter that both the standard and premium kits are available for an early bird 43% discount there. The Revopoint MINI 3D scanner is a necessary modeling tool for professionals. MINI lowers the barriers around 3D modeling learning, enabling designers to free themselves from the tedious modeling work to focus more on creation itself.
