3. Driftstilstande

The Creality CR-Scan Raptor Pro offers versatile scanning modes to suit different object types and detail requirements:

3.1. Blue Laser Mode (22 Cross Laser Lines)

This mode utilizes 22 cross laser lines for rapid scanning of medium to large objects. It provides comprehensive coverage, minimizing the need for multiple passes. Ideal for industrial inspection, reverse engineering, and detailed 3D modeling with metrology-grade accuracy up to 0.02mm+0.08mm/m and scan speeds of 660,000 points/s.

3.2. Blue Laser Mode (7 Parallel Laser Lines)

For partial HD scanning, 7 laser lines are used. Each laser line is as fine as 0.1mm, enabling the capture of sharper edges and richer details on smaller or intricate areas.

3.3. NIR Structured Light Scanning

This mode utilizes speckle matching 3D imaging, allowing for markerless scanning of feature-rich workpieces. Objects can be scanned quickly and directly. The unique face & body mode captures more details, including hair, with a human body scan taking as quick as 2 minutes.
