Home-Revopoint launches MetroY Ultra and opens POP 4 Kickstarter sign-ups
Revopoint, a company that develops 3D scanners, has launched two new products during its 12th-anniversary campaign:MetroY Ultra, a scanner for industrial inspection and verified measurement workflows, and POP 4, a blue-laser and infrared structured-light scanner for versatile everyday scanning. MetroY Ultra became available for pre-order on April 7. Sign-ups for thePOP 4 Kickstarter campaignalso opened on April 7, with early-backer discounts of up to 37%.
MetroY Ultra is aimed at quality control engineers, reverse engineers, and industrial designers requiring verified, measurement-ready data rather than geometry capture alone. Reported volumetric accuracy is 0.015 mm + 0.04 mm × L (m), with multi-line laser-scanning speeds of up to 90 fps. Five scanning modes are included: 34 cross laser lines, 15 parallel-line fine mode, single-line deep-hole mode, full-field blue structured light, and automatic turntable scanning. These configurations target different industrial parts, surface conditions, and measurement challenges. Outdoor laser scanning is supported at up to 100,000 lux. Wireless operation runs through a mobile phone connection using an included 5500 mAh battery grip, providing about 2.5 hours of untethered use.
A metrology-focused configuration, MetroY Ultra CMM Edition, adds real-time on-site accuracy verification through a CMM-certified carbon-fiber ball plate. A one-year license forRevo Measureis included, described as PTB-certified software for GD&T analysis and reporting. MetroY Ultra Standard Edition is listed at $1,899 MSRP, while the CMM Edition is listed at $2,499 MSRP. Both versions are available for pre-order with a 10% discount.
POP 4 combines blue laser and infrared structured light in one system for scanning small indoor objects and larger outdoor workpieces. Reported single-frame accuracy is 0.03 mm, with multi-line laser scanning speeds of up to 105 fps. Outdoor operation is supported at up to 100,000 lux. New features include 3D Gaussian Splatting for photorealistic model export. A 5500 mAh battery grip enables up to four hours of wireless scanning.
Both scanners connect to a unified software workflow linking scan processing, measurement, and reverse engineering. One-click export from Revo Scan and Revo Metro into Revo Measure and Revo Design moves data from scan processing to GD&T reporting and reverse engineering. Alongside the launches, the anniversary promotion includes discounts of up to 15% on 3D scanners sold through the company’s online store.
3D scanning shifts toward mobile capture and integrated workflows
Recent scanner launches have increasinglyfocused on making 3D data capture usableoutside fixed inspection setups.Artec 3DintroducedArtec Jet, a mobile LiDAR system for survey-grade mapping across indoor, outdoor, underground, and GPS-denied environments. Built around SLAM-based tracking, the system supports handheld, drone, backpack, and vehicle-mounted deployment, with reported indoor and underground accuracy of ±10 mm and change detection down to 5 mm. A companion software platform processes, merges, georeferences, and inspects point cloud data, showing how hardware releases are increasingly tied to downstream processing rather than capture alone.
Lower-cost systems have alsomoved toward portable spatial scanningwith expanded output options.3DMakerPro’s Raven seriesbrought LiDAR capture into a smaller-format device aimed at documenting rooms, scenes, and objects, with reported accuracy of up to 20 mm, capture rates of 150,000 points per second, and a range of up to 100 meters. Output includes point clouds, polygonal models, and Gaussian splatting datasets, while optional RTK modules and external camera support extend positioning and visual capture functions. Together, these releases point to a broader hardware shift: 3D scanners are being built for more mobile operation, wider deployment conditions, and closer integration with processing and visualization software.
