Revopoint POP 3D Scanner 0.3mm Accuracy 8 Fps Scan Speed Desktop and Handheld Fixed/Auto Scan Mode for Face and Body Scanning Modes for Color 3D Printing - A1

I bought this device in the Fall of 2021, just prior to the release of the second version. Detail wise, the first Revopoint Pop is very impressive. Scan quality does rely on good lighting and a steady hand, so there is a definite learning curve. Revopoint has improved the companion software drastically since this first came out, which helps fuse subjects that were scanned in pieces. I still haven't managed a full scan in one shot.I find that scanning while connected to a PC works best, although the few times i used this via a Mac computer or a wireless device it worked fine. Previous experience with 3D software is highly recommended but not necessary for enthusiastic newcomers. There are plenty of helpful tutorials online, even though Revopoint resources are a little sparce.

Unfortunately at the time of writing this review 3D scanning is still very expensive to get into. Not only are the scanner expensive but so is the software. The Revopoint scanner does the job as long as you understand the limitations. If you don't understand how it works that it could be beyond frustrating with the amount of mis-tracks. I brought this to scan car parts to reverse engineer into functional parts in solidworks. Think headlight duct or fender flares. For my particular use taping the part off with white masking tape and using the sticky markers worked. With some practice I was able to get some good scans of the parts. But after forming the point cloud and subsequent polygon model it is not very useful after I brought it into Solidworks. After trying half a day to decimate the polygons and unsuccessfully trying to form planes I realize I couldn't really do anything with the STL without additional plugins. Sadly I must say this technology is still too expensive for the hobbiest to get into.

Seems solid, well packed, decent instructions but did not work.-The USB 3.0 on my laptap would not power appropriately for a scan (concluded after pouring over "community" posts).-Used the mobile cable to attempt setup on my Note 10+ android phone and the hardware seemed promising but the app is no longer accessible in the playstore and the Revopoint website redirects to the playstore as well. Hopefully this will be able to be fixed soon. I thought I had checked for the app before I purchased, so I don't know whats happened since.-The customer service system needs overhauled as it leaves you unable to select a different contact option (Chat, E-mail, Phone) and leaves you hanging; not knowing if someone else is on the chat after initial contact and automtically return you to the chat if you try to start a new communication. I suppose I could have tried to clear my phones cache and maybe.... The chat dialogue automatically gets transferred (good) to an e-mail but it is a very intensive data stream making it very difficult to follow. Being able to select the call option after selecting the chat probably would have helped the situation.Considering the cost, difficulty to set up (after verifying specs via the description before purchase), and ineffective customer service I have returned the equipment.*** update- app seems to be available in playstore again as of 20Jan2023 (at the latest) ***

**(I'm not being paid for this review. It is my honest opinion)**If you're looking for an inexpensive 3D scanner to begin scanning projects or faces, then this is the scanner for you.Ok, so I recently started 3D printing, a little over a year, and decided to get a 3D Scanner. I wanted to scan my face and my kids faces to see how they would look 3D printed. After searching numerous scanners I came across the Revopoint POP Scanner. The price was cheaper than A LOT of scanners out there and I wanted something small and portable and this was it.First opening it, I felt that the packaging and build was great. I liked the professional look it had. Plus the red and black combination reminded me of Star Wars, lol.After setting up the scanner and the turntable (which I purchased separately) I found that downloading the software to my laptop was a little challenging but not difficult. I did wish the instructions for that was clearer in the owners manual/quick start booklet. Once I had it up and running, it wasn't that bad. There is definitely a learning curve to it. The turntable was straight forward, no issues there. After a few scans of the bust that they provided, I did feel that the scanner was getting hot underneath where the tripod connects to it. That might just be the sun hitting it or something wrong with the battery overheating. I will definitely bring that issue to Revopoint. I did download the scanner app for my Android phone but it was crashing A LOT so I didn't bother to figure it out, since I only had 30 minutes of sleep after working a double, but I digress.Overall, I feel that this scanner is a great asset to my 3D printing journey and I fell that it would be for you as well. So happy printing and happy scanning.

Wasn’t sure what to expect, since I’ve never used a scanner. Revopoint seems to have taken ease of use and connectivity into consideration. This scanner can be used with phones, tablets or laptops with nothing more than a cable. Initially, I was skeptical since my scan came through with some unprocessed data. The Revopoint software repaired the model with just a few clicks and when I sliced it again, those doubts were gone. I highly recommend.

Update: I might have received a broken device I will try a new one an clarified my impression very soon. One thing I can say is that. they have a good aftersales relationship with they client. Impossible to get it to connect to a device. Wifi connection never last more than 2 seconds and with usb connection it crash instantly. I have try with a Samsung S20 a Pixel 2 and Ipad pro.This is more useless than the pet rock!I cannot believe the are selling this for hundreds of dollars.

Really limited scanner. So bit think you can buy this and scan well.Many iPhone app does better than this expensive scanner

Après avoir utilisé un scanner 3D Makerbot Digitizer depuis 2013, je suis vraiment impressionné par la précision et la rapidité du Revopoint Pop. La possibilité de pouvoir digitaliser un objet massif à l'extérieur est un atout important aussi. Il faut avoir tout de même une bonne dose de patience et de persévérance pour avoir un résultat adéquat mais ça en vaut la peine.

Much better results than face casts, cleaner and covid friendly. Actors love me. Basic programs included, easier than the $3000 i borrowd from the school.

Didnt work as hoped scanning a simple U shaped object
