Revopoint Range 3

Revopoint Range 3: an affordable portable scanner for large objects

The Revopoint Range 3 is designed to scan objects of various sizes, from components to large parts. Its VCSEL infrared structured light technology captures surface geometry at a speed of 20 to 30 frames per second.

Its wide capture area covers up to 687 × 672 mm at a distance of 1,000 mm, making it easier to scan sculptures, furniture and equipment. With a volumetric accuracy of 0.05 mm + 1 mm × L (m), Wi-Fi 6 connectivity and color capture, it is suitable for 3D modelling, reverse engineering and digital reproduction of large parts.

Revopoint Range 3: scanning technology, accuracy and mobility

VCSEL infrared structured light

The Revopoint Range 3 uses a VCSEL infrared light source that projects a structured pattern onto the object's surface. The cameras analyse this pattern to reconstruct its three-dimensional geometry.

This technology is particularly suitable for scanning large surfaces and bulky objects. The capture speed reaches 20 to 30 frames per second, allowing surfaces to be covered efficiently as the scanner moves.

Volumetric accuracy of 0.05 mm + 1 mm × L

The Range 3 offers volumetric accuracy of 0.05 mm + 1 mm × L (m), where L represents the object's length in metres. This value helps estimate the potential deviation for a part of a given size.

This should be distinguished from scan resolution and the accuracy of an individual point. For reverse engineering or modelling projects, the result also depends on the surface, tracking and scanning conditions.

Wide capture area of up to 687 × 672 mm

At a distance of 1,000 mm, the Range 3 covers an area of up to 687 × 672 mm in a single capture. This wide field makes it easier to scan furniture, sculptures and large equipment while reducing the number of movements required around the object.

At a shorter distance, the captured area narrows to 113 × 134 mm at 200 mm, allowing more localised areas to be scanned.

Wi-Fi 6 connectivity for greater freedom

Wi-Fi 6 makes it easier to use the Range 3 without a permanent USB connection to the computer. This is useful when moving around a large part or scanning equipment that is difficult to reposition.

The scanner can also be powered via USB-C or with a compatible battery grip, available separately. The standard kit includes the scanner, a 2 m USB-C to USB-C cable and a calibration board.

Revopoint Range 3: 9 features for 3D scanning

Scan volume of up to 4 × 4 × 4 m

The Range 3 can scan objects with a minimum volume of 30 × 30 × 30 mm, up to maximum dimensions of 4 × 4 × 4 m. This wide range meets various needs, from capturing components to surveying large parts.

Choosing the right working distance and maintaining stable tracking remain essential for aligning the different areas and obtaining a consistent 3D model.

Scanning speed of 20 to 30 frames per second

The Revopoint Range 3 has a capture rate of 20 to 30 frames per second. This rate allows data to be recorded as the scanner moves around the object.

It is suitable for scanning large surfaces, where coverage and continuous tracking are important. Scanning smoothness also depends on computer performance and the characteristics of the captured surface.

Working distance of 200 to 1,000 mm

The Range 3 operates at a distance of 200 to 1,000 mm. This range allows the scanner's position to be adjusted to the size of the object and the area being captured.

A greater distance widens the field of view, while closer scanning reduces the captured area. Staying within this working range helps maintain usable data throughout the scanning process.

Colour and texture capture

Thanks to its 1.3-megapixel RGB camera, the Range 3 records colour alongside geometry. This information helps create textured models for visualisation, documentation and certain design projects.

Colour tracking can also help align captures when the object has distinctive patterns. The quality of the resulting textures depends in particular on lighting and surface characteristics.

Geometric feature tracking

Feature tracking uses the object's shapes and contours to align successive captures. This method works well on surfaces with sufficient geometric detail.

For smooth or poorly textured objects, adding markers can improve tracking. The Range 3 also supports colour and marker tracking, allowing the alignment method to be adapted to the characteristics of the scanned part.

Outdoor scanning up to 100,000 lux

The Range 3 can be used in environments with ambient illuminance below 100,000 lux. This makes outdoor scanning possible, particularly for equipment or objects that are too bulky to move into a workshop.

Lighting conditions should still be considered when preparing the scan. Transparent, shiny or very dark surfaces may also require specific preparation.

Export formats for 3D workflows

Data processed in Revo Scan 6 can be exported in various formats, including STL, OBJ, PLY, 3MF and FBX. The choice of format depends on the intended use: 3D printing preparation, modelling, visualisation or transfer to another software application.

Mesh cleanup and geometry verification remain important steps before reusing the model in a design or manufacturing process.

Compatible with Windows, macOS, Android and iOS

The Range 3 integrates into a workflow using a compatible computer or mobile device. Revo Scan 6 captures data, aligns scans and processes the point cloud before export. For computer use, it is important to check Revopoint's recommended system requirements.

Available performance affects processing smoothness, especially for projects involving large amounts of data.

A standard kit that is easy to set up

The standard package includes the Range 3 scanner, a 2 m USB-C to USB-C cable and a calibration board. These accessories help prepare the device and connect it to compatible equipment.

Unlike the Range 3 Pro kit, the standard package does not include the 5,000 mAh battery, its power cable, markers or magnetic phone holder. These items must be purchased separately if required for the intended workflow.

Revopoint Range 3: a software ecosystem for 3D scan processing

The Revopoint Range 3 uses a software environment that helps move from capture to data processing. Revo Scan 6 captures data, aligns scans, processes point clouds and generates an exportable mesh. For reverse engineering projects, Revo Design provides tools for geometry reconstruction and scan-to-CAD conversion, depending on the available features and licences.

Revo Measure is designed for measurement and dimensional comparison of 3D data. This software ecosystem can support different stages, from initial scanning to preparing a model for design or inspection. The final result always depends on capture quality and processing.

Our expert opinion on the Revopoint Range 3

The Revopoint Range 3 is a relevant choice for users who want to scan large objects without investing in a more specialised scanning system. Its main advantages are its wide capture area, Wi-Fi 6 connectivity and colour capture capability. It is particularly suitable for object modelling, shape reproduction and reverse engineering when the required tolerances are compatible with its volumetric accuracy.

However, it is important to distinguish this version from the Range 3 Pro: the Range 3 does not feature the 11-line infrared laser or global marker tracking. For technical parts requiring higher volumetric accuracy, the Pro is worth considering. For scanning large surfaces and bulky objects, the Range 3 remains a compelling option.
