r/Revopoint

I made a custom hardcase to carry my gimbal safely. I used 3D scan data to model a perfect-fit TPU insert, so it doesn't wobble at all. Thanks to ExtRuben for the parametric model inspiration.

I wonder how many people will remember the scene at the very end of the video? :)

I’ve built a portable scanning table. The surface is a sheet of plastic that also holds my magnetic marker “trees.”

It features four threaded holes and a snap-together frame. I’ll be adding threaded rods so I can scan objects while they’re “floating.”

Any tips for using Full Field with the Metro Y? I am getting terrible results compared to the Inspire 2 (First image is Metro Y, second is Inspire 2, same setup, marker tracking). I was hoping the Metro Y would be a full replacement but so far my experience with Full Field is it's entirely unusable on the Metro Y.

just got the inspire 2 and idk why it does not work. Tested on these devices: iphone 15 pro, pixel 7 pro, pc with rtx 3080ti, laptop with only cpu. Marker scan works. it always says “not enough point clouds captured” and the distance indicator also doesn’t work.

Just received my Metro Y Ultra and have been testing it with Metro 5.8.6 and noticed super poor viewport frame rates of 10-20 fps (Not scanning frame rate). If I enable the depth camera preview during scanning, this viewport frame rate goes to single digits of 5-7 fps. The software will say that the scanner is running at 89-90fps but the software feels nauseating to use. The scanner is in wired mode.

I noticed that if I use different screen resolutions, the viewport frame rate improves a little during different steps of the scanning process.

I checked with another device, a laptop with a 185H, 3K screen, 32gb Ram and a RTX 3090 and it's the same issue at 20 fps or less. It's like the software scales poorly with display resolution.

Does anyone else experience the same issue?

The scanner tracks fine and it's clear by the distance tool that it's running at a higher frame rate internally, but I can't say I'm impressed with using the scanner software. there's not much point boasting 90 fps when it renders so slow and delayed on hardware like this. It's user experience is comparable to the HD mode in the old Einscan Pro+ I have: bad.

I've used a Creaform HandyScan 700 that run at 60fps in VXelements on a average dell laptop with zero gpu acceleration, so I really hope there's a Metro software update that atleast runs the viewport at 60fps.

Update: I checked with wireless mode and while the Marker and Scanning FPS are the same, I don't experience the 50% drop in frame rate when enabling the depth camera preview, maybe just a marginal 5 fps.

🚀 Pushing the Revopoint POP4 to the Limit: Laser Mode Showdown! 🚀
I recently put the POP4 through its paces with a challenging subject: a bronze sculpture of the "Head of Young Bacchus." Bronze is notoriously tricky, but I wanted to see exactly how much fine morphology I could capture by pushing the Laser mode settings.
I ran three distinct tests, focusing on the impact of Target Point Distance and, most importantly, the ability to combine Single Line and Cross Lines modes in a single session.

🔍 The Experiment
Here is the breakdown of the three scans:
Bacchus1
Mode: Cross Lines

Target Point Distance: 300 microns

Result: A solid base scan, but the finer textures of the bronze remained somewhat soft.

Bacchus2
Mode: Cross Lines

Target Point Distance: 150 microns

Result: A significant jump in clarity! Halving the point distance definitely brought out more surface character.

Bacchus3 (The "Sweet Spot")
Mode: Single Line + Cross Lines (Combined)

Target Point Distance: 150 microns

Result: This was the clear winner. The detail is much crisper, capturing the intricate morphology that the previous scans missed.

💡 The Takeaway: Hybrid Scanning is King
The real game-changer here is the ability to use Single Line and Cross Lines modes within the same scan session.
While the Cross Lines handle the bulk of the geometry quickly, switching to Single Line allows the POP4 to "dig" into those micro-details and sharp edges of the sculpture. If you are looking to capture museum-grade detail on complex surfaces like bronze, don’t settle for just one mode—use the hybrid approach!

Preserving History with the Revopoint POP 4!

Another test with the new Revopoint POP 4 on interisting antique object: a decorated bronze
bell.
This piece isn't just metal; it’s covered with a repetitive decorations, a beautiful dark aged patina, and some corrosion crusts that make surface capture interesting test for the POP 4 3D
scanner.

I used the 30-cross blue laser lines mode, which is designed specifically to handle high-
reflectivity and dark surfaces.

The results were amazing:
• Precision: Captured the fine details of the decorations with a single-frame accuracy of
up to 0.03 mm.

• Stability: Even with the "messy" texture of the corrosion, the laser tracking remained
rock-solid at a high frame rate (it can go up to 105 fps!).

• Analysis: After the scan, I moved the model into Revo Measure to take precision of the bell's dimensions for digital archiving.

It’s amazing to see how this hybrid blue laser and infrared tech can bring professional-grade
cultural heritage preservation to a handheld device.
