3D Scanner Creality CR Scan Lizard - Premium Kit, 0.05 mm Accuracy and 10 FPS Scan Speed 3D Scanner, Aviation Aluminium Plug with Turntable

Product Information

For one, Lizard can scan accurately in sunlight. 3D scanners typically struggle with too much direct light, forcing users to scan in a darkened room for best results. However, Lizard, thanks to its multi-spectral optical technology, maintains excellent performance even in bright sunlight — which would vastly improve its field of application. The scanner can also be powered by a portable charger, so, in theory, you could go out there and scan the woods to your heart desire. With this model, the Revo doesn’t stand a chance without matting spray. On the other hand, the Lizard scanned it usefully. I’ve been working with 3D printers for more than a decade and consider myself something of an expert on the subject. But I have remained skeptical of both the utility and the capability of consumer 3D scanners. Whatever the technology is, I find the Creality CRScan Lizard better than all my old scanners (line laser, Kinect, etc.). It is also much better and faster than other scanners I have used in my experiments with photogrammetry. By the way, just to be clear, most of my scanning projects involve small to medium-sized parts in turntable operation. The scanning technique that is suitable depends on what is to be scanned. Therefore, what suits me may not suit you – and vice versa.

The Creality CR-Scan Lizard features a turntable mode, a handheld mode, and a hybrid turntable/handheld mode combining the hands-on movement of a turntable with the flexibility of handheld scanning.It requires a computer has over 8G Ram. ¶ 15. What is the difference between CR-Scan 01 and CR-Scan Lizard 3D scanner in other parameters? This entry-level Creality 3D scanner Lizard for consumers follows the CR Scan 01 — as an affordable option for users to digitalize objects. The new Lizard is smaller in size for better portability and feel with improved features such as accuracy up to 0.05 mm, and better handling of bright environments and dark objects. All that for less money than its predecessor, even. The CR-Scan Lizard comes with three different scanning modes. You can either use it in turntable mode, handheld mode, or a mixture of the two to scan an object.

I also like the Revopoint POP 2 for the stripped-down, functional approach. It works with little fuss, pivoting from stationary to handheld mode seamlessly. And everything runs off a simple USB connection. The Revopoint MINI ships with three different software applications: Revo scan (scanning application), Revo Studio (professional-grade model editing software), and Revo Calibration (simple and easy-to-use calibration suite). The Revopoint exports to PLY, OBJ, and STL.The Revopoint POP 2 includes a variety of modes: stationary, handheld, markers, features, face, body dark/hair, and head scanning. Outdoor scanning isn’t possible here as direct sunlight can distort the capture process. Cost-effective: Creality ferret scanner is high quality at an affordable price. It is the best choice for 3D scanners, leading you to a magical and wonderful scanning journey. The CR-Scan Lizard can produce some decent scans of models, but the accuracy is just not there for parts that need a close tolerance of less than 2mm. Dimensional accuracy is close, but the surface smoothness leaves some to be desired and sharp edges are often rounded off. Mixed color models may also have issues scanning. This is my first 3D scanner, so I’m not sure how this compares to other scanners on the market.

Both versions have a brief manual, an unfamiliar operating concept and some omissions. For example, to delete points/parts of the mesh, you first have to assign a button in the settings yourself. With the Lizard, you can scan small or large objects with ease. The CR Studio software does the heavy lifting of optimizing models and even sends those files via the Creality Cloud directly to your 3D printer, to realize one stop solution from 3D scanning to 3D printing. Features 1. HIGH ACCURACY It’s designed mostly for applications such as design, 3D printing, reverse engineering, and modeling. This is possible thanks to a 0.15 mm point cloud distance, which equates to excellent precision for medium-sized scanning of objects, including face and body models, with top-tier accuracy. A test 3D scan with the Revopoint POP 2 on a pokemon toy to test precision.As someone who works with 3D printing, I have always had an interest in 3D scanning. So when Creality offered to send me their CR-Scan Lizard 3D scanner for review, I jumped on the chance. Below you will find my thoughts about the Creality CR-Scan Lizard and a showcase of some of my scans. In contrast, the Lizard 3D scanner delivers even higher precision with its remarkable 0.05mm accuracy. This makes it an ideal choice for scanning small components or prototypes that demand intricate details. The Lizard also supports no-marker scanning, eliminating the need for additional markers to enhance accuracy. With its automated data processing capabilities, the Lizard simplifies post-processing, saving valuable time and effort.

Also, with my current skills and knowledge, I cannot scan 28mm tabletop miniatures well with the Lizard. The model was nowhere near aligned, but it was in a previous try I had made. I selected manual alignment and it took me to this screen: Here is a short video demoing what the projection looks like and what the camera sees. I was really surprised that the pattern doesn’t seem regular and the lines are not parallel like I have seen on other scanners. Both scanners are compatible with Windows and Mac operating systems, with the Ferret also extending support to Android devices. They offer output formats such as OBJ, STL, and PLY, facilitating seamless integration into 3D printing workflows. Performance and AccuracyUsers who have had the opportunity to test the Creality Ferret 3D scanner are enamored with its lightweight and portable design. They extol its user-friendliness and the flexibility it affords by permitting scanning on the go. The wide-range scanning mode of the Ferret garners high praise, as it empowers users to effortlessly capture sizeable objects. The built-in high-resolution color camera also emerges as a beloved feature, as it faithfully reproduces vivid and true-to-life color scans. However, you still needs a bit of practice to get good scans. It is unlikely that you will just push the button and an usable STL will be produced. Here is my first turntable scan. I was pretty stoked to see how well it turned out and just how little effort it takes. I tried scanning this exact object and spent hours with the DIY scanner without success. Creality’s workflow is pretty simple. Take multiple scans at different angles on the turntable ensuring all details are captured. Then allow the software to line the scans up, sometimes with a little help. This scan took all of 5 minutes to do with acceptable results. Software/Hardware
