Revopoint POP 2 3D Scanner
The 3D scanner is a device to capture the geometry of objects to create digital 3D models for 3D printing, 3D modeling, reverse engineering and measurement, etc. The Maker Lab has two Revopoint POP 2 structured-light 3D scanners for hobbyist use.
Quick Reference
Training Required: Basic Training
Tools Included: POP 2 3D Scanner; Tripod (for stable scanning); Turntable (for automated object rotation); Phone holder (for mobile scanning); Calibration board (for scanner accuracy calibration); Marker dots (for scanning objects with low texture); AESUB Blue (self-vanishing scanning spray designed to improve 3D scanning by creating a thin, uniform matte coating on reflective, transparent, or dark surfaces)
Workspace: 130 x 210 mm single scan size
Materials: small to medium size objects
File Types: Scans can be exported as .PLY, .STL, or .OBJ
Common Terminology: 3D Scanning- the process of creating a three dimensional computer model of a real-world object; Marker- stickers or points placed on the object to improve quality of the scan for objects with low texture; Registration- the process of aligning multiple scans using reference points; Point Cloud- collection of individual 3D data points that represent the surface geometry of an object; Mesh- representation of a 3D object using a collection of vertices and polygons; Alignment- process of adjusting the position and rotation of 3D scans to create a 3D model; Merge- combining multiple 3D scans into a single 3D model
