When will you have access to MetroX? I would love to see your review before cancelling/leaving my pledge, without your review I will be cancelling as I do not see anyone else in the industry going into such good real reaviews as you do! Good job!
Hi @Payo, you have so much experience with scanning, so I would like to know your suggestion: I own a CR Raptor, what is the maximum RAM I really really should have in a computer to ensure scanning and converting scans without getting memory errors? I want to buy a laptop as a second machine for scanning and don't want to pay for too much RAM, but also don't want to run into memory issues.
The laptop that I'm using in this video (TUF A15 2024) has failure RAM, it took me very long time to find out. I've no issue so far after replacing the RAM. I never exceed 32 GB on my scan. (Many time it close to 32GB but not exceeding) You should get the one that can be upgraded to 64 GB.
Do you usually just use the point cloud as reference or do you ever go through the meshing and surfacing process? Do you just line it up with the point cloud by sight?
I only use point cloud for reverse engineering. I don't import millions of polygonal in CAD, it's very difficult to manipulate. 3Ds Max, Blender, Maya, those are made to handle polygonal mesh. Alignment is done roughly in CloudCompare, I did final alignment in CAD, point cloud can be move, rotate, crop, section, adjust density easily in CAD.
@ very good info. I have been learning how to use my scanner and get better results, but when I went to use the data to reverse engineer I was overwhelmed with the mesh and what to do with it so I could use it to design off of. I see people make planes and such out of the mesh to get an accurate surface to sketch on. When you start a sketch on the point cloud, what plane are you sketching on?
Wow, you ride an EUC. Thats super cool. I missed mine.
Why? Did you stop riding?

Revopoint never contacted me, maybe I can try asking if they can lend me a unit for testing.
Hi, would the markers also help with the otter scan tracking in medium mode? Thanks for your scanner videos
Yes, it works the same way. But in Otter-medium mode, you'll need to apply more markers than the Raptor because FOV is smaller.
hey Payo. nice video. have you seen the Revopoint MetroX videos they released? wouldnt mind your input on that scanner vs the raptor.
I'll check out their video.
what scanner do you have which can scan small high detail ?
It's CR Scan Raptor in blue laser mode.

are you getting a raptorx?
Yes, I'll make comparison review as soon as I get it.
