Creality's newest CR-Scan Otter might just be the best hobbyist 3D scanner that I've used. I put it's claims of 0.02mm accuracy and a scanning range of 10 cubic millimeters to 2 cubic meters to the test!
Thank you SainSmart for providing this scanner for review!

The otter and raptor are really an amazing contribution to so many fields of technology. Thank you so much Creality, I commend you for your tireless efforts to help progress humanity. I had a thought/ brainstorm, could you use a clear transparent base to locate the octopus on. That way you could scan right through the underside of the base, and create data without having to flip it over? Food for thought. Please keep making informative content on how to use the Creality scanners. 🇦🇺🤜🏼🤛🏼🍀😎☮️

I appreciate the comments! I agree, the Otter is a pretty good leap compared to similar handheld scanners of just a year or two ago. The transparent base is interesting. I'll have to see if I have anything that's transparent to infrared light. But if you can find a base like that, then I think that would work!

The otter creates a more dense mesh if you use markers. Markers are a must have when scanning featureless frames. That’s the best advice I can give, right there! 🇦🇺🤜🏼🤛🏼🍀😎☮️☮️☮️

great advice!!!

@stevesloan6775 Ай бұрын

I think you’d freak out if you performed all of the same scans with the Creality Raptor hybrid blue laser- NIR scanner. The detail it can capture is mind blowing 🇦🇺🤜🏼🤛🏼🍀😎☮️

@HoffmanEngineering Ай бұрын

I've seen really good results with the Raptor. I hope to get the opportunity to test one out and see how it compares with the Otter.

@bjondersson Ай бұрын

Except that the Raptor NIR sucks compared to the Otter. But yes, for details and small objects the Raptor is superior.

@stevesloan6775 20 күн бұрын

@@bjondersson you need to take a larger scan. Everything there’s a marker, the actual polygon count is drastically changed.

@christianlainesse4281 Ай бұрын

are the 3D scans size accurate, or do you still have to scale them after to the original size of the thing you scanned?

@HoffmanEngineering Ай бұрын

I don't know how I didn't mention it, but yes, items are scaled accurately on export.

@thorsteneggert Ай бұрын

It would be nice to have some kind of test to check the accuracy. For example scan screws of different diameters and print them. Than test what is the smallest diameter which fits the corresponding nut.

@Todestelzer Ай бұрын

That wouldn’t be accurate. You need to measure points in the point cloud. If you print it you add the printer tolerance. The printer x/y calibration, Flow calibration, pressure advance calibration and material shrinkage. The accuracy of the scanner is listed as 0.02mm. In general that means around 0.05mm accuracy in real world scanning. You can use cloud compare to measure point cloud distances for example.

did you notice any difference/improvment from the last update?

@HoffmanEngineering Ай бұрын

I only did extensive testing on the one version shown in the video. As I was finishing editing there has been a new version of Creality Scan released, but I have not been able to put that new version to the test yet.

Came a long way from the kinect scans

@joatmon7347 Ай бұрын

Thats a far way from using the xbox as a scanner. 😅 Cool!

@henninghoefer Ай бұрын

How does it compare to a Revopoint Mini?

@HoffmanEngineering Ай бұрын

Unfortunately I have not had the chance to try the Revopoint Mini. I'll try and get my hands on one though to test out. The Otter gives better results than the Revopoint Pop2 I last used, but that is a few years older and less expensive, so not really a fair comparison.

@alexmillette Ай бұрын

What about motocycle or car parts. I guess if it handle a full body, might be good for motocycle but not sure for a car.

@HoffmanEngineering Ай бұрын

With markers, I'd expect car and motorcycle parts to work pretty well. Creality has examples of a full car body on their website. You'd need to use a laptop for it, since you'd be moving around a large area.

@Todestelzer Ай бұрын

They have to improve the software. No orthogonal view what it makes deleting stuff complicated and it’s deleting the original scans after merging. No alignment function to a coordinate system. No auto alignment using markers when fusing 2 body’s. (As far I know. There is no check mark to select for Auto alignment)

@HoffmanEngineering Ай бұрын

That is a good list of suggestions right there! The alignment workflow could definitely be approved, it was the only part where I struggled.
