Reverse engineered a docking station for temperature and pressure data loggers for dental machines today. The Raptor scanned the black ABS part without issues in 5-10min. The only issue was that the markers on the part weren’t correctly detected and couldn’t used for merging. But the manual feature merge went fine. Reverse engineered it in Geomagic design X. Printed on a X1C in PETG-hf and it’s identical to the original part without using calipers 😅

Love the video. With the Raptor X price increase of $1000, it’s not reasonable to upgrade from the Raptor especially since the 7 laser line mode is the same. I will argue with one point: Fusion 360 is not a beginner CAD, it was designed to replace Inventor. Inventor like Solidworks is a strict parametric modeler, Fusion is a hybrid. With its many workspaces from modeling, to simulation, to CAM-many businesses use it. It is without a doubt a professional program. Now something like Tinkercad is a beginner program. I worked with Autodesk for number of years and teach CAD.

I've been using Inventor since 1999. This cloud base Fusion 360 is not there long enough to proof it professionality. If you try to make 7,000 parts assembly in Fusion 360, you'll know why. It's faster to learn with 1/3 the price of the subscription fee.

Well laid out comparison👍👍. Few things to add though: Using Otter for scanning, needs one to be looking at PC, while coordinating the movements with the hand, holding the scanner. It can be learned over time, but not very intutive for beginner. A manual turntable can improve it, but you lose flexibility of moving with hand. Also tracking is bad for underspec computers(for certain objects in markerless NIR mode), can work with usb2.0, but can have issues with power, making the connectivity glitchy. There is also some kind of additional softening on sharp edges(not sure if it is software related), apart from occasional ghosting. Has capacitive buttons, that I was not able to feel for proper operation. Had to return it, due to the above list of issues. Raptor is a breeze to scan with direct feedback from blue laser lines. No need to look at PC. It is also fast due to higher fps of the blue laser. Has real buttons, to feel and operate easily. Markers are a pain, but performance is stable and very predictable. Works only with USB3.0 connectivity. Using an external powerbank will avoid the need for a power outlet(for the additional 12v, that has its own adapter). Also find the 7 line laser sufficient, if you make additional diagonal sweeps over same scanned areas(may be RaptorX avoids this extra step🤔, with the cross laser). Plasticity is a new software to add, to the list already mentioned. Affordable while also non-cloud based, with some advanced features. Would love to own a RaptorX, but cannot afford right now. ❤👍

I forgot to mention that Otter requires more computing power than Raptor while scanning and the preview windows screen doesn't contain as much detail as the Raptor.

I agree with your conclusions based on your vídeo's and my raptor scanner Raptor x would have been my preference, but i don't have +3000Eur to spend on a scanner. I probably would have been more happy with the otter, but i need the accuracy, and i verified it to be indeed 50micrometer std deviation so for my purposes i'm stuck with the markers (very close together because of the smaller capture area) -> the small capture area for the 7 line laser mode is really the downside to this (raptor) scanner. -> I expected the worse performance of the nir system because of your video's, but i can live with that.

@Payo-TensileCreator 14 күн бұрын

Otter is way better for face scanner. You can use "Face" mode for scanning just the face part in high definition, then use the "Body" mode to scan the rest and then merge the scan. This will make you scan faster and lower error from object movement.

Why did the Raptor receive only 5 points in the 'organic object' category? Can you explain the difference between the models using NIR technology? Additionally, what are the minimum/optimal requirements for a PC or mobile device? How does this impact scanning speed? A newer, high-performance laptop is a significant expense but the best solution, especially for the Raptor series. Alternatively, purchasing the Creality Scan Bridge increases mobility. However, a desktop PC + Creality Scan Bridge still isn't ideal for outdoor, field, garage, or warehouse use. Overall, for the Raptor/Raptor X or Otter, the best setup would be a fast laptop paired with the Creality Scan Bridge. Also, can the Creality Scan Bridge be used interchangeably between the Raptor and Raptor X? For example, if purchased with the Raptor X, could it also work with the Raptor?

Raptor NIR isn't that good, comparing with the Otter. It can't capture high contrast surface and black very well. The bridge Wi-Fi works on both Raptor and Otter. If you've both scanners get the Raptor version. I've made a video about it here. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pIrJq4OJnJlrpbc

Thank you for the great video! For scannning small electronics like phones or handheld PCs in order to model cases to 3d print, would you suggest the raptor or the otter? It sounds like they would both work but for different reasons. I'm just curious if you had an opinion on which one would be best. Or if there is a different scanner that would work better then the raptor or the otter. You definitely put a lot of work into these comparisons.

@Payo-TensileCreator 21 күн бұрын

I would pick the Raptor. You're working on fitting part. I've scanned the phone to make a holder, and it fit like glove. Currently I don't see any scanner come close to this at this price range. Revopoint'll send me Metro X for testing end of Jan next year. I'll make comprehensive comparison as well.

@Payo Raptor x will perfect for inspection (3D CAD metrology) CMM work? I need it for inspection of manufactured job, should i purchase it? Can any kind of accuracy certificate available with scanner as available with some professional scanner?

@Payo-TensileCreator 14 күн бұрын

Yes, it would be perfect for geometry inspection. I use Raptor to do that on my work as well, comparing the machined part to CAD model. Optical scanner is indirect measurement device, it's not like a CMM, micrometer or vernier caliper where it physically touches the measuring object. The accuracy will be varied for each scanner. You have to measure and verify that yourself. One Raptor I got is 48 um error, another one is 62 um on a non-spray surface.

So if I wanted it to scan my entire vehicle and every single part of the vehicle (from small brackets up to body panels), would it be worth the extra money for the raptor x, or is the raptor more than enough and just work a bit slower?

@minibeyse 21 күн бұрын

The raptor will be doable BUT ----> you need to place a lot of markers. Markers in triangle formes with sides of 6cm work best (8cm works but requires more patience with tracking lost ect.) But even with this, it will be very slow.... I like my raptor, because i don't need it very often. So if you are doing a hobby project, you can spend an entire day placing markers, scanning and removing them to scan a car body. But it will be slow...

@@minibeyse So if my aim was to scan it panel by panel over a long period of time the raptor would make more sense from a cost perspective? Are those big rolls of stickers on amazon any good?

You'll be exhausted. Raptor original requires 4X the markers than Raptor X. It's not worth the time, if you have budget go for the X.

@@Payo-TensileCreator What is the possibility of using stickers for global markers only, and use magnet mounted markers for smaller sections(panels)? The advantage being able to re-use the magnetic markers, as long as there is a overlap of scanned areas. It is also quicker to reposition. Should be able to scan with Raptor over several hours(thanks to global markers), with several breaks in between?. Just some 💭

@Payo-TensileCreator 20 күн бұрын

Yes, you can relocate the magnetic markers after completing one panel and leave some for over lapping area (20% at least) 500 pcs would be enough for scanning panel by panel. Set resolution to 1.0 - 1.2 mm for panel scanning.

The only downside to these scanners is Creality's approach to customer service. I ordered my scanner on December 7th, and according to the information provided, it was supposed to be shipped on December 20th. I added other products to my cart that were listed as available, but it turns out they were out of stock. As a result, instead of shipping the scanner as promised, the entire order has been stuck. Despite sending multiple emails to customer support, I haven't received any real assistance, only being told to be patient. It's frustrating that a purchased product needs a month to ship and there's no way to modify the order; the only options are to cancel it entirely or wait. It doesn't matter how good a product is if you have to wait weeks for it.
