Revopoint POP3 Review - 3D Scanner 

For anyone about to say that they want to compare this scanner with the other comparison video I did last year… hold tight, it’s coming!

As a plastic model assembler, I scan the parts before I remove them from the parts tree. After the scan had been completed, I printed the scan on my 3D printer using resin filament. If I break a model part doing model assembly or afterwards it can easily be replaced.

Gotta say this is quality content- great presenter glad I found it thank you

Excited to see your range review. I love mine. Totally agree that the new software is a huge improvement over the old software as well.

for the annoying prep-work for marker mode, it is useful to take some time in advance to attach the sticky markers to a thin sheet of magnetic rubber sheet like the material used for fridge magnets and these adhere well to ferrous steel metal body work, allowing you to very quickly attach and recover them for reuse. i use a pen magnet to pick them up swiftly after use instead of all the faff with picking the little blighters using finger tips. You do have to have patience in advance to cut the magnetic sheet around the little markers, but a little perseverance and intelligence will pay dividends when you realise the ease of use and re-use many times over of the magnetic markers.

Great video as always! Excited to see the Range version.

great review I love how we all have a item thats our benchie scan

I am excited for the next scanner review.

Great channel! That's exhausting what i am trying to do, scan and reverse engineer parts for my bmw 😅

Great video, excellent

The Einstar got a back button as well with the latest software. Very useful.

Thats the reviev I wanted to find ❤

Have you ever tried scanning part of the same object multiple times quickly from similar angles and averaging a point cloud from that? I used to do that when the best home scanner available was the Kinect. It definitely helped pick up finer details than a single scan should have been able to, like eyelids and lashes when scanning faces. Sometimes it appears that details get lost the longer a scanning session is

cant wait for the range video

Thanks mate

Great review as always. Between the pop3 and the einstar which one do you prefere (also regarding the new softwares)?

Awesome testing looks like you really put it through its paces and tested it to the extremes of what it was designed for. Do you think it will fit into your workflow more than any of your other scanners?

Awesome, I'm impressed with the result, purchased the pop3 but haven't fully test it yet, but the way what are the specs of your laptop? I need to upgrade mine for a powerful one that could run the einstar in future

Looking forward to your range review, might help me decide on which way to go to scan my GR Yaris

Thanks for the review, really helpful. I'm looking for a multi range consumer level offering and have been considering the Revopoint Miraco. Have you had any experience with this scanner?

Yew!!! More content!!

Dude I absolutely love your content and yours is one of the very few channels that I let the adds run because I hope that it helps the channel out. However, you've moved so far from your original content that it seems that you're being a long for add for your sponsors and not looking out for your supporters. Get back to making for motorsport and put massive smiles on your supporters faces. We're rooting for you buddy but you're making it very difficult for us.

I just so happen to have a 32gb Miraco on the way. You could adapt the pop3 to attach to your baseball cap, and suddenly you ARE THE BORG, only good instead, a good BORG. 👁👁

You need the 3D scanning spray, AESUB BLUE - MATTE DISAPPEARING SPRAY FOR 3D SCANNING

I have Einstar Shinning 3D for bigger parts and car stuff, which is just great with it. Now, I'm trying to figure out should I buy Revo Mini for smaller things, which Einstar is just not meant for of go for Pop 2/3. I figure Pop is kind of middle ground, so Mini would be better choice (buttons, clips and misc. small things). Then I'd use FMD + Einstar for big things and SLA + Revo for smaller. Anyhow, great to have you review it, because use case is mostly the same as mine, so really appreciate it! Cheers!

(New to game development and can't code, but am trying to learn the basics by starting with the terrain) I want to make a game that looks realistic and don't want to use Assets from any Asset store, have compatibility issues and issues with possible copyright. I've been looking at the 3D scanners as a possible way to create my own assets. I was wondering if any of the revopoint scanners also picks up and creates the textures? (Hoping to be able to scan and import plants, trees, rocks, sea shells, etc.)

Can you manipulate a scanned object after it's scanned? Probably a dumb question. I'm new to 3D scanning and printing. For example, let's say I scanned the same bust that you did in this video, but I wanted to put a bunch of holes in it (I'm just throwing out random ideas) that go all the way through, can I do that using Sketchup or other software?

Thanks for posting. I have been struggling with the Pop3 and learned of a few features from the video. (ie.. back button!!!) Trying to scan a front bumper / air dam and it is struggling. Going to again with that back button! Do you believe the hand-held stabilizer is necessary?

It looks to me as if you haven't removed the peel off protective covering film from the front of the device. Perhaps I need to get my eyes tested after years of self abuse but if it's still in place, could it affect the correct operation? Great review - many thx for posting this. I'm struggling to avoid another of those serious mouse accidents I seem prone to. I've got a feeling I may succumb, particularly as they available next day from Amazon with 10% discount....

13:38 - "BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE...!!!" (best Ron Popeil voice)

thanks for the reviews. checked all of them but wondered if you had any thoughts on the ferret pro. (looking for a budget-friendly portable scanner for some motorcycle fairing-diy and bits and bobs) cheers

Engine bays are a tough spot no matter what. The amount of foreground/background items means the tracking gets tough when you go around objects. My Einstar has to do some tough work especially with things like hoses, worong looms, hard/acute angles, etc...

As someone that 3D scans vehicles for a living, from super small items all the way to HGVs, Excavators, Tractors etc, you cant get away from having to use tracking dots and scalebars if you want a scan thats useable and worthwhile in terms of quality and precision. Unless you're spending a lot of money going for a scantech trackscan or creaform version its just how it is. If you think you hate markers, try putting multiple thousands on and taking them off afterwards!

Great Video review! My one question is would this be usable to scan humans from the shoulder up? Or Does this require the Range? Trying to have my cake and eat it too by just getting the Rev Pop 3 for the small stuff but also do family busts.

What would be the best scanner for scanning faces and clothes? Love your videos!

The part I struggle with is getting the mesh oriented properly in fusion to something workable in proper XYZ planes matching faces ect

How do you think this would handle dashboard panels? I'm doing custom radio installations and my Einstar hates small details like the mounting hardware on the back of the dashboard panels. I need something that will do medium to tiny detailed objects like radio knobs that the Einstar isn't built for. As always, STAY HYDRATED!

Amazing! One question though, why do people would want to scan a differential? I get the point for automotive industry, but in your particular case, what would you do with that 3d model?

Just a heads up, you might want to use youtube's blur edit to cover up at 3:50 ish

How -good- much better is the Range scanner? With the current discounts it's only £60 odd more that the pop3 at the moment. Thanks for the vids

If you have a POP 2, is it worth upgrading to the POP 3? I assume POP Scan v5 software will work with the POP 2 so you will get the benefits from that anyway. Looking forward to the Range review.

Einstar is the better choice of low budget scanners

Eihän se nyt auta tollasta sumua auton päälle laittaa :)

Why use this when cross polarization photogrammetry solves are so much more precise? True scale is also not an issue with CPP

Curse you and your video sir, now I have to buy it!

Honestly...this has the same problem as every single one of revopoints scanners. What comes out of it is smoothed to hell and loses all the detail, theres nothing crisp about it. If they used the frames taken and made a photogrammetry pass on top of it and compared that to the structured light pass they'd have a great software, but they dont...and I cant write an alternative so were just screwed until someone does.
