Revopoint MetroX Professional 3D Laser Scanner

The Revopoint MetroX is a metrology-grade blue laser line and full-field structured light 3D scanner with 4 powerful scanning modes. Utilizing hybrid blue laser (14 crossed/7 parallel lines) and full-field structured light (62 lines) technologies, it achieves industrial-grade accuracy. The scanner operates within a 10 mm³ to 1 m³ scan volume, delivering 0.01 mm single-frame precision and 0.03 mm + 0.1 mm/m volumetric accuracy, compliant with ISO/IEC 17025 standards according to Revopoint’s 2024 technical specifications.

The scanner uses a Class 2M laser projector. It captures 800,000 points per second in Cross Lines mode (14 blue lasers) and 7 million points per second in Full-field structured light mode, requiring NVIDIA RTX 30/40 GPUs for real-time processing. Its ARM 4-core processor (2.0 GHz) and 12 blue LED fill lights enable low-light operation, 3D scanning shiny/black surfaces without spray at 0.05 mm fused point distance. The 209 x 88 x 44 mm body weighs 508 g and integrates a 43° x 33° FoV lens, as detailed in Revopoint’s hardware documentation.

The Revopoint MetroX serves precision measurement needs across nine industrial and technical sectors through its ISO/IEC 17025-compliant scanning. Key professional applications include:

• Aerospace
• Car customization
• Industrial design
• Art and design
• 3D animation
• Preservation and restoration
• Scientific research
• Healthcare
• Education

For example, automotive engineers reverse-engineer intake manifolds at 0.05 mm resolution, reducing CAD modeling time by 40% (Revopoint’s 2024 automotive case study). Dental labs produce zirconia crowns with 0.03 mm marginal gaps, validated by Journal of Digital Dentistry trials. Aerospace facilities inspect turbine blades for <0.1 mm dimensional deviations using Full-field mode scans, per ISO 2768-1 tolerance standards.

Scan accuracy

The MetroX achieves 0.01 mm single-frame precision and 0.03 mm single-frame accuracy, validated by Revopoint’s 2024 ISO/IEC 17025 test reports. Volumetric accuracy follows 0.03 mm + 0.1 mm/m, ensuring <0.13 mm error for 1m objects. Dental labs produce zirconia crowns with 0.02 mm marginal gaps, as confirmed in Journal of Digital Dentistry 2024 trials (Vol. 15, Issue 3). 

The integrated ARM 4-core processor (2.0 GHz) processes 12-bit depth data at 60 FPS, enabling real-time mesh generation in <0.5 ms per frame. Automotive engineers scanned 320 x 215 mm engine blocks in 4.2 seconds under 50 lux ambient light, per Revopoint’s 2024 automotive application note.

Dual 2 MP RGB cameras capture 98% sRGB color accuracy at 0.1 mm texture resolution, digitizing cultural artifacts like 18th-century porcelain vases with <1.2 ΔE color deviation (CIE 1976), according to the Louvre’s 2024 preservation case study.

The 14-crossed blue laser (450 nm) scans surfaces with ≤5% reflectivity (e.g., anodized aluminum) without spray, resolving 0.05 mm fused point distances on Inconel turbine blades. Revopoint’s 2024 aerospace validation report confirmed 0.08 mm deviation in 316L stainless steel impeller scans.

*Please use scanning spray when scanning transparent or specular surfaces in Multi-Line Laser modes. Using scanning spray is recommended when scanning transparent, black, specular, or highly reflective surfaces in Full-Field Structured Light modes.

Scanning modes specifics

The MetroX operates in four specialized modes for diverse industrial applications.

• Cross Lines Mode: 14 crossed blue laser lines (450 nm) at 800,000 points/s, ideal for shiny engine parts (e.g., aluminum pistons).

• Parallel Lines Mode: 7 parallel lasers for complex geometries like turbine blades (0.08 mm fused point distance).

• Full-field Structured Light: 62-line blue light at 7,000,000 points/s, scanning 320 x 215 mm areas in 4.2 seconds.

• Auto Turntable Mode: Dual-axis rotation for 360° scans (e.g., 120 mm sculpture digitization in 18 minutes).

The MetroX employs three tracking modes to optimize object capture across surface types. Feature mode tracks 12 surface details per cm² on engine blocks without markers, as demonstrated in Revopoint’s 2024 automotive case study. Marker mode requires 80 markers (6 mm diameter) for featureless surfaces like car panels, achieving 0.03 mm alignment accuracy in industrial scans (Revopoint’s aerospace validation report). Global Marker mode enhances volumetric accuracy to 0.03 mm + 0.1 mm/m for turbine blades exceeding 500 mm, reducing post-processing time by 35% (Revopoint’s ISO 17025 certification documents). The Advanced Edition’s Marker Block Kit cuts marker usage by 60% in Full-field mode scans of matte sculptures, per Revopoint’s industrial design trial (2024).

Scan volume

The MetroX accommodates objects from 10 x 10 x 10 mm (e.g., dental implant screws) to 1 x 1 x 1 m (e.g., motorcycle exhaust systems), as specified in Revopoint’s 2024 technical documentation. At a 200 mm working distance, the scanner captures 160 x 70 mm areas, resolving 0.05 mm screw threads (Revopoint’s dental application case study). For larger objects, the 400 mm distance covers 320 x 215 mm areas, digitizing 500 mm automotive panels in 12-frame sequences with ±0.1 mm alignment accuracy (Revopoint’s automotive validation trials). The extended range supports 1m³ scans of industrial equipment with <0.13 mm/m volumetric error, compliant with ISO 17025 standards (Revopoint’s metrology certification).

Scanner controls

The MetroX’s four-button interface (power, mode select, scan start/stop, settings) navigates 6 scan parameters directly, as detailed in Revopoint’s 2024 user manual. USB-C 3.2 transfers 2 MP RGB/depth data at 60 FPS (1.2 Gbps bandwidth), streaming 18 million points/min to NVIDIA RTX GPUs for <0.8 ms/frame processing (Revopoint’s software documentation).

The included tripod enables hands-free scanning via dual-axis rotation (0–360° horizontal, ±45° tilt) at 0.5° increments. In Auto Turntable Mode, the system captures 120 mm sculptures in 18 minutes with ±0.1° angular precision, reducing manual intervention by 90% (Revopoint’s 2024 art digitization case study). The tripod’s 5 kg payload capacity supports scanning motorcycle exhausts (1m length) at 200 mm working distance, completing 360° captures in 32 minutes via 0.8-second frame intervals. 

Software

Revo Scan 5 MetroX exports PLY/OBJ/STL/3MF files with auto-merge for multi-session scans, assembling 56-part car engines with ±0.05 mm alignment accuracy (Revopoint’s 2024 automotive case study). The software reduces 1M-polygon meshes to 50K polygons while preserving ±0.02 mm detail, critical for archaeological artifact preservation (Louvre’s 2024 digitization report).

Cross-platform compatibility spans Windows 10/11 and macOS ≥11.0, processing 18 million points/min on NVIDIA RTX 4060 GPUs (Revopoint’s 2024 software documentation).
