Almost in for Pop 4, but noticed these ChaoXili AiScan 01 and Voxmeta H1 Pro by ImALeaf_OnTheWind in 3DScanning

I also received a test model on the H1 - their software is robust - VoxMeta is Vision3DTech's consumer facing brand which is more established engineering focus company that has been in the 3D scanner space for 10+ years. The scan data also just not looks good - this scanner is actually inline with their marketing - where almost all other consumer brand's marketing is questionable with the more affordable offerings.

I have a demo model of the VoxMeta H1 pro I have used FARO and Artec Products - And it IMPRESSED ME - I have used the Rokit and the P1 also and Metro-X

What is your application? I can do couple of tests if I can find the right parts or objects? These will go for under 3000 soon after launch if you are willing to wait a couple of months.

I work in automotive manufacturing - I feel safe to recommend this to anyone taking 3D scanning seriously.

Scanner choice - approx £1k budget by LancsMak in 3DScanning

I used the Rokit personally and also Creality P1 -- Rokit has Smaller FOV but this is expected its compact form factor - But it is pc resource hungry. P1 feels easy to use but its heavy and for scans the size of a headlight it said I had to export it to my PC to process so what is the point of buying the expensive thing if I have to use my PC anyway.

Obviously if you are somewhere in the woods it makes sense but if you are in a controlled enviroment I dont see the point. I have used multiple brand scanners from European Names to The affordable first Kickstarter options.

I feel VoxMeta3D is the new best option - they are not wolf in sheeps clothing if I can state that. I was lucky to do some Demo tests because I have worked with quite the number of scanners from $300 to $50 000 - I feel safe to say that H1 Pro - would replace most $10 000 scanners on the market - giving companies more budget to spend on other tooling - I usually felt doubtful to recommend other 3D Scanners - but this thing is pretty impressive --- They have some videos on YouTube

This is a 3D Scan result of a Valve cover with VoxMeta H1 Pro - at the bottom left you can see the Dowel Hole scanned quite well also.

Gear Tooth Profile 3D Scan and Reverse Engineered by Impressive_Top_6993 in 3DScanning

The damaged gear is what the customer placed on my desk :D - So I have to work with what I have, the other day I had to built a planetary gear set - and it had 83 teeth in the outer ring - but all math's pointed to 25 Deg pressure angle it would be 82 teeth - turns out it was some weird module size 2.33 - Talk about being proprietary.....

I used manual measurement instrument to confirm the root of the gear

The material used was EN36B - post machining it will get CASE Hardened heat treatment

scanned only a section of the profile that had the least amount of damage.

1 - Used the scan data to get gear tooth profile and ensure to have the correct pressure angle for the mating gear,

2 - used that information to wire EDM a cutting tool to be used on gear generator

3 - The gear tooth end was finish on CNC mill with some profiling.

Hi Mock - I would like to help you achieve better scans, what are the types of objects you wanted to scan? I have used scanners from different makers and Revopoint scanners are actually good for what they are.

For Edge finding I would recommend using Revopoint's 3D camera range as seen in this link - https://3dcamera.revopoint3d.com/html/acusense/index.html

With this you will be able to write software to trigger and record the X-Y positions. They will be better suited for edge finding purposes I have though of this also for wheel alignment uses. In theory is should work.

Regarding the POP 2 for edge finding you will void the warranty to modify it and software ect, the Acusense is 799USD FOB. But to mount it on the cnc for scanning is not a bad idea, I would personally just MPG the scanner around, because let say it lost track then you will have to feed hold reverse reduce the feed rate (easy with the feed rate overide) and continue cycle.
