The Creality brand is a leader in the 3D creative market for quite a while, first with the 3D printers and now also with the 3D scanners. These new portable devices now becoming more and more available in their professional versions even for the home users. And not just that of course, because personal studios, auto repair shops, medical fields, 3D modeling and design, reverse engineering, cultural relics restoration and other fields are beginning to consider using the power of 3D scanner products to achieve faster and more efficient work. And for Black Friday you can get two of their high-end models with Raptor and RaptorX even cheaper.
Let’s start with the cheaper of the two with the original Raptor. This world’s first hybrid blue laser & NIR consumer 3D scanner is still an extremely powerful device with tons of utility. It features integrated combination of blue laser and infrared light sources. With it you can handle all the small, medium or large object scanning (ranging from 5mm to 2000mm) in any scenario. Its measurement-grade accuracy is also on a very high level, reaching 0.02mm in the laser scanning mode. Using 7 blue laser lines can make the edges of the 3D model really sharp as well. And it is no slouch either in high speed scanning, line laser scanning data collection reaches up to 60fps and infrared sctructured light up to 20fps.
The wide scanning range is really a godsend, because from the minimum 5*5*5 mm³ with the line laser you can quickly jump up to 2000*2000*2000mm³ with the infrared structured one. It also makes face and body scanning a breeze thanks to unique face mapping algorithms and extra perks. Full body scan can take only around 2 minutes. Good scanning details are a given, while you don’t even need to powder spray metallic/black objects for scanning. CR-Scan Raptor is also lightweight and portable device with calibrated accuracy, so it easy to use and control.
You can find the promo deals from October 21st to December 3rd directly on the official store with a blanket 20% off the shelf price. Of course its also available from the local warehouse for faster and easier shipping as well. So the final prices are as follows.
The more powerful and more expensive sibling adds to the mix extra features right away, while keeping the hybrid blue laser & NIR setup. It is clearly better for scanning larger objects with maximum scan volume increasing to 4000*4000*4000 mm³ with laser line scanning. You are getting innovative 41 blue laser lines, 34 cross laser lines with high efficiency and 7 parallel laser lines for precision with single line as fine 0.1mm. With 2.3 million pixel 3D imaging camera, scanning and restores fine details more accurately. Metrology grade accuracy is up to 0.02mm so you can really get some precise results.
Blue light scanning speed is up to 60fps, NIR up to 30fps, so it is a bit faster than the original raptor. You can be processing up to 1,020,000 points/s under 34 cross laser lines scanning, quickly covering medium to large objects. And it can be performed wireless as well, with Wi-Fi 6 fast data transmission. You can easily scan black or metal objects without sprays and RaptorX performs also great in both outdoor and low-light scanning. And with more than 3 hours of battery life and fast charging nothing can stop you from pure scanning joy.
Once again the Black Friday promo offer is available from October 21st to December 3rd on the official store and various local warehouses. The discount is even bigger with 28% off the retail price so you can save a significant portion of it.
