Here's my in-depth review and testing of the new Creality Raptor PRO 3D scanner, which comes at less than half the price of the previous 34-lines laser scanner, the Raptor X.
Pros:
- 24% faster scanning speed compared to the original Raptor (but 30% slower than the Raptor X)
- Same working distance as the Raptor X, with a maximum marker spacing of 10cm
- High precision in both 22 lines and 7 lines modes
- Low drifting error, recorded at only 18 um/m in this test
- The 7 Lines mode, inherited from the original Raptor, has excellent accuracy and can capture almost any surface condition.
- Low distortion, with automatic car panel merging capabilities
- Can be used wirelessly with additional WiFi handle
Cons:
- 22 Lines mode has lower accuracy when scanning metallic surfaces. Spray is required to improve accuracy.
- No improvements in the Infrared scanning mode, despite the new projector
- No enhancements to the RGB camera
- Short cable; it should come with the same length as the Raptor X's cable
- Requires a powerful computer to run smoothly (minimum RTX 4060 GPU with a newer CPU)
