3DMakerpro’s New Raven Series Brings Pro-Level LiDAR 3D Scanning to Creators

For years, capturing very detailed 3D models of real-world spaces has mostly been limited to industrial use. It usually required large, complex equipment and budgets that could run into tens of thousands of dollars.

3DMakerpro will disrupt this landscape with the global launch of the Raven series on March 12. The series comprises the Raven (early bird $999) and Raven Max (early bird $1,499) – two, brand-new LiDAR-based spatial 3D scanners that bring professional-grade accuracy to creators, architects, and VR/AR developers through innovative consumer-grade technology

Pro-Level Spatial Capture at a Fraction of the Cost

The Raven series is built to bridge the gap between hobbyist tools and high-end surveying equipment. It delivers impressive technical benchmarks, with an accuracy of up to 20 mm and a capture rate of 150,000 points per second. Whether you are mapping out a multi-room interior for architectural design or capturing complex outdoor environments for game development, the Raven handles it with remarkable speed.

Both the Raven and the Raven Max use the same core LiDAR technology, but while the standard Raven features a single 12 MP camera system, the Raven Max is equipped with dual 12 MP cameras for even faster and more comprehensive data capture. Despite this power, the device remains incredibly portable, weighing just 1.1 kg and featuring a brilliant 3.9-inch AMOLED screen for real-time monitoring.

Vivid Color and Immersive Gaussian Splatting

One of the most exciting features of the Raven is its ability to go beyond simple point clouds. Equipped with 12 MP Sony sensors, the scanner delivers vibrant 4K color point clouds that bring digital assets to life. For creators looking to push the boundaries of reality, the Raven supports 3D Gaussian Splatting (PLY). By connecting external cameras or using the dual-sensor system, users can capture photorealistic color to create stunning, immersive VR/AR experiences.

The Raven’s versatility is further enhanced by its modular design. It features a “Swap & Go” 12,000 mAh battery grip that provides up to two hours of continuous work and can be easily swapped to keep your workflow moving without interruption.

For specialized projects, 3DMakerpro offers an extensive range of auxiliary add-ons, including RTK expansion kits for high-precision mapping, Insta360 X4/X5 kits, and even specialized mounts for bicycles, cars, and drones.

Seamless Workflow and Limited-Time Pricing

Processing the massive amount of data captured by a LiDAR scanner is often a hurdle, but 3DMakerpro includes RayStudio, free software designed specifically for the Raven. RayStudio automatically analyzes the 3D data, performing essential tasks like point cloud denoising and filtering to generate high-quality raw point clouds. The device also supports standard output formats like PLY and OBJ, ensuring compatibility with most 3D design software.

To celebrate the launch, 3DMakerpro is offering significant “Early Bird” discounts. While the regular price for the Raven is $1,699, the first 100 units will be available for just $999. The more powerful Raven Max, normally $2,699, will be available for an early bird price of $1,499. For creators ready to reshape real-world spaces into virtual worlds, the Raven series offers an unprecedented combination of performance and value.
