Revopoint’s Latest Pro-But-Affordable 3D Scanner Easily Surpasses $1 Million on Kickstarter
Raising more than 2,000% of its funding goal in just under two weeks, Revopoint is expecting its Trackit two-part scanner to be a hit.
Supporters quickly snapped up the 40% early-bird discount on Kickstarter for the new multi-modal Revopoint Trackit 3D scanner, which also came with a free one-year license to the upcoming Revo Measure software.
The first 100 backers secured one for just $2,899.
The Trackit, which we first laid eyes on in April at Rapid+TCT, is on the industrial side of Revopoint scanners, designed for scanning large objects that also need close-up detail scanning, such as vehicles and machinery. It offers markerless scanning capabilities by pairing a large stationary optical unit with a handheld scanner encased within a marker-dot-covered housing.
The optical unit has a 4-meter range and tracks the scanning unit as you use it, which eliminates the need to place markers directly onto objects. The handheld unit can be used solo, but then you’d need markers.
This scanner features two scanning modes: a 30 blue laser cross-line mode ideal for capturing large surface areas, and a single blue laser line mode tailored for detailed scans, including deep holes and crevices. Its precision is notable, offering single-frame accuracy up to 0.02 mm and volumetric accuracy of 0.025 mm + 0.04 mm.
Revopoint Trackit supports fast data acquisition with a scanning speed of up to 1.5 million points per second. There’s an automated gimbal calibration system, which enhances accuracy and cuts down setup time by as much as 50% compared to traditional manual calibration, according to Revopoint. It also includes real-time error correction capabilities that compensate for drift or cumulative errors during scanning, ensuring continuous accuracy throughout the process.
Compared to other Revopoint models, the Trackit stands out due to its marker-free workflow and higher precision. The handheld Revopoint MetroX requires markers. The Shining 3D EinScan HX2 and the Shining 3D EinScan Libre are other markerless options, but are considerably more expensive at around $10K and $30K respectively.
With still a month to go in its Kickstarter campaign, Revopoint backers have pledged more than $1.25 M.
