The MIRACO Plus 3D Scanner, what the company claims to be the “world’s first” is a comprehensive 3D scanning and photogrammetric metrology solution around $2,000, and features advanced technology to capture large objects with high accuracy. It combines photogrammetric metrology and global coordinate calculation to enhance volumetric accuracy. The scanner’s intuitive software allows for quick processing of global marker coordinates and smooth transitions to point cloud scanning directly on the device.

Users can transfer photogrammetric models to a PC via Wi-Fi or USB-C, facilitating easy import into third-party software. The scanner provides single-frame accuracy of up to 0.04 mm and supports scanning speeds of up to 20 frames per second (fps). Upgraded calibration boards maintain an accuracy within 20 microns, according to Revopoint. 

The 48-megapixel RGB camera produces detailed 8K color scans, and the scanner provides both near and far capture modes. Its powerful CPU and 32 GB of RAM ensure efficient processing, while the new infrared optical zoom (1.5x and 2x) enhances the capture of fine surface details.

Features of the Revopoint Photogrammetric Metrology Kit

The Photogrammetric Metrology Kit (PMK), used with the MIRACO Plus 3D Scanner, provides a precise method for creating 3D models and measurements from photographs. By placing uniquely coded targets on or around large objects, the PMK enables accurate global coordinate reconstruction through advanced optimization algorithms, crucial for industrial manufacturing and quality control.

The PMK comes equipped with four high-precision carbon fiber scale bars. Paired with MIRACO Plus’ 48-megapixel RGB camera, it ensures accurate capture of global marker coordinates. The advanced global markers algorithm then processes this data with a photogrammetric length accuracy of 0.02 mm + 0.05 mm per meter of the object’s size. In addition to these features, the kit includes two sets, one magnetic and one stick, each with 208 coded targets, further enhancing data capture.

As per Revopoint, the PMK and MIRACO Plus combine to offer an integrated workflow, which captures and processes data in one streamlined process. Users benefit from a simplified and faster method to create precise 3D models. Additionally, with the user-friendly photogrammetric metrology tool, objects are photographed from multiple angles to generate accurate 3D point coordinates.

By leveraging hybrid photogrammetry, the system ensures thorough coverage and accuracy even in complex applications. The lightweight and portable MIRACO Plus 3D Scanner and PMK eliminate the need for traditional PC-based systems, providing flexibility for accurate measurements in various settings.

Together, the Revopoint MIRACO Plus 3D Scanner and Photogrammetric Metrology Kit offer enhanced precision and efficiency for applications in various industries. 

Alongside other applications, the Revopoint MIRACO Plus 3D Scanner is also suitable for the aerospace and automotive sectors. In aerospace, it enables efficient scanning of aircraft parts to assess wear, and fatigue, or produce replacement components. For automotive, it captures detailed measurements of vehicle parts, streamlining repairs, reproductions, prototyping, and quality control while reducing the need for manual measurements.

1. Precision is how close repeated measurements of the same object are to each other. Accuracy is how close a measured value is to the actual (true) value. They were both acquired in a controlled lab environment. Actual results might vary, subject to the operation environment. 
2. Class 1 Laser: Avoid direct eye exposure for extended periods! Refer to Standards for Class 1Lasers for details. 
3. Outdoor scans should avoid direct sunlight. 
4. Some products have flashing lights, which may not be suitable for people with photosensitive epilepsy.
