I review the new CR-Scan Raptor from Creality, I do a massive 16 scans to put both the Blue Laser and Near-Infrared sensors through their paces.
This unit was supplied free of charge by Creality but no further money has been received and Creality have no prior approval nor editorial rights on the video.

Atm i'm using a pop2 but I have my problems with tracing and there is no "undo" option in revoscan 5. I'm considering buying a new scanner, but i still don't know if einstar, otter or raptor..... The software should also be considered in my decision. I use my scanner for car parts like brake caliper, wheel carrier, suspension,..., in the future also complete engine bays. Which one would you recommend?

thanks for testing a scan inside the engine bay, this would be one of the most important feature of a 3d scanner in an automotive application personally

Nice review! I got the Scan Lizard via the Kickstarter and have honestly been pretty impressed with the performance (provided the object being scanned is properly prepped, i.e., non-reflective and not hairy, haha...). I mostly work with small objects (action figure stuff and similarly sized items). It works decently especially with the newer software. The software is still buggy, and getting multiple scans to merge properly is a challenge...but I'm usually able to get everything I need in just one scan, fortunately.

Thanks for the video. With so many saying the einstar is better for pricepoint i think i will wait for this raptor to go on sale before i purchase.

If a sale goes for this product id love to get one.

If the blue light isn’t needed for the application then I’d agree with many commenters the Einstar is better, the NIR isn’t as good. But, the blue light gives this a weapon the Einstar can’t match!

after watching your video I bought one , there are nice promotions on the site , even a combo with a resin printer. Frankly I have a creality lizard that was great but quite limited but given the competition. I bought a tidy2 revopoint last week and I did not like it at all, not disappointed but does not match to make the small to the large. And frankly, compared to créality, revopoint products are very, very expensive.

@Todestelzer Ай бұрын

Raptor for small to medium and Otter/Einstar for big stuff. I use the Einstar software to post process the Raptor scans. To be fair with the creality alignment/merging tool, cloud compare isn’t better in automatically align the scans. Creality software is deleting original scans after merging and you can’t use orthogonal view for deleting unwanted point cloud data. Opening a previews scan can take 10min. AMD 5900x, SSD or RAM disk, 64gb RAM. Additional you get a RAM warning when scanning wich pauses the scan, even when I have still 40gb RAM left.

@TheBiscuitsandGravy Ай бұрын

I'm deciding between the einstar and raptor, also considering waiting a bit to see einstar's response. I haven't used either, but I have a lot of time on a creaform handyscan black. Can you output or input a STL file with either creality or einstar software? Creaform has it's own file type and you can pay extra to import directly to Solidworks(probably others too). From there I'd save everything as an STL so I had a 'universal' file for future use. I'm definitely more interested in whichever software can bring in one of those STLs so I can add to it. Do either softwares allow you to make a duplicate of a scan while editing so you can retain your original(since Creality's software deletes it)? How is the feature generation? Does it do ok at creating planes from surfaces? Can it create a circle on a plane from picking up a cylindrical hole? How about orienting a part in space?

@Todestelzer Ай бұрын

@@TheBiscuitsandGravy Exstar scanning software has tools to create planes, lines and points and can do a alignment to xyz coordinate system but it’s NOT a reverse engineering Programm. These programs cost couple thousands of dollars unfortunately. But it can load a point cloud generated by Creality scan software. There is no merging/alignment for multiple cloud points I’m aware of. The Einstar can’t scan small parts like a game controller very well and has problems pick up black parts and the accuracy isn’t as good. The Raptor software has to improved. The scanner can scan very small parts and has little problems with black or metal parts but it needs markers for scanning in laser mode. It’s not as good with big objects as the Einstar.

I still think an external battery solution would be helpful for the Otter and Raptor - in fact, such an accessory would likely support most portable 3D scanners in their class. Since you are doing an electronics project for motorsport, I assume this is a temperature or fuel management controller? Using a Mini for rally is common, but not so much with the BMW. This means it would require a separate interface to monitor fuel pressure and engine temperature, when under high torque at speed.

I think it would have been more impressive on the beamer to have spread the markers out and scanned a larger area of the car that would be useful to have 3d model of like large single parts i.e. a quarter panel, a door panel, a plastic trim piece that's easily broken and replaced by a 3d print. You kinda got the bumper of the mini. That being said how memory intense is the software? What's the average size file of a small model compared to a large one? How much RAM is being used during scanning/rendering? I noticed you said it performed better connected to your laptop. Did you mention a price? I'm not intending to be super critical of the video.

My raptor crashed multiple times during manual merging, and the software has become slow and unreliable after the latest update. Seriously, it needs a lot of improvement to be usable.

🤔 How does rf targets work?

The they reflect the IR light the scanner produces, this gives the scanner very bright points of reference to track the movement of the scanner and subject to build up the scan. Scanners usually need to see at least 4 or 5 to be able to track, and if the scannner has a narrow field of view and you have a large subject, you can need hundreds of these markers…

Would you say this is better than Einstar ?

“Better” is a difficult concept. M Big stuff in NIR, the Einsrar wins hands down Small stuff and Raptor wins, and that’s without even turning on the Blue laser… 😂
