MINI 3D Scanner（Blue Light丨Precision 0.02mm）

This scanner has amazing detail and dimensional accuracy. I have scanned quite a few things now and I’m always impressed with the results. Scanning is like 3D printing you have to figure out what works and how to get the best results. When scanning with objects of the correct color and texture or parts prepared with scanning spray the results are amazing. My workflow usually involves scanning both sides separately and then join the in Revo Studio. Revo Studio is easy to use and works really well for cleaning and combining point clouds. I would recommend this scanner for small to medium object scanning the detail it picks up is impressive.

I've just gotten hold of the MINI and did my first scans recently. Is it a plug-and-play scanner? No. But it is as close as one can get to a plug-and-play with this type of resolving power. I purchased the MINI after I wasn't getting the results I wanted from 3D photogrammetry. I needed something that was able to capture sub-millimeter detail efficiently, accurately, and quickly without breaking the bank. I am digitizing a large corpus of stone stamp seals created in late antique Western Asia, ranging in size from a few millimeters in diameter to a few centimeters, so I needed a scanner that could do both incredibly small objects just as accurately as coin-sized objects.

After doing some reading on the Revopoint forum on scanning best practices I plugged my MINI in for the first time and was able to get a decent scan of an object almost right away. I still have a lot of learning to do, and the learning curve is quite steep, but I know that after I use the MINI for a few weeks, getting to know the intricacies of 3D scanning with blue light, I will be able to achieve the results I am after. I will update this review with some more images and detailed review of the MINI after I can utilize it to its full potential.

For now, this scanner seriously deserves a 5/5. Even with my clumsy, inexperienced use of the MINI I was able to obtain decent results. I can't wait to see what it will be like when I can use the scanner to its full potential.

Consumer Priced- almost Professional Grade
Scanners available Period.

I am able to confirm very accurate scans. I am currently using this scanner to reverse engineer unavailable automotive parts.

I have several scanners to compare this two and it’s got insanely good details.. but limited for the size of scans it can do. As long as you keep your expectations for small items you will be fine. As for the engine block scan in the advertisement…. Sorry not happening, unless Revopoint can do a live demo.. I have tried and I can with my CR-Lizard but not my mini.

Other than tracking issues the scanner is very accurate and just takes time and patience to get decent results.

I am pleased with the scanner.
But as any consumer hand-held scanner it requires skill and a good computer to properly get the best out of it.
I think that it is important to find ways of improving user skills, something like a step-by-step guide on how to build-up experience using the scanner, a structured video curse that help user build-up the skill to get the best out of the scanner.
Also.... you might work on improving way to make it more user friendly and reduce the skill level required to properly use it. for example... when producing the point cloud it some times does not attach properly and overlaps instead during the scanning, and need to be fused. it would be awesome that the pointcloud is fused in tandem with the scanning process. sometimes if you was not careful during the scann the pointcloud does not fuse properly. alll this issues I exepct in the future will become more seamless as computing power becomes stronger and cheaper.
