what size / diameter marker dots can you use? only large or a mixture of large and small will work at the same time? is the software only looking for a certain size in the "remover marker point" function? can you merge "laser" scans with "blue light" scans? and how many scans can you merge, your showing 2, whats the maximum number?
1. Both 3mm 6mm can use. 2. Mixture works at the same time. 3. No, you select remove marker size from 1 - 8(or 10? not 100% sure) 4. Idk, I'll try tomorrow 5. Maximum 9 scans merge together, I tried 5 in 1 works very well.
Just to add on to what was replied. Yes you can merge scans between modes and even other revopoint scanners. Max number of merging items is 9 but you can merge your 9 then use that 1 to merge with another 8 and so on. It can use the 3mm and 6mm makers. however if you decide to remove the marker points. It will only allow you to pick one size. So if you pick 6mm. It will create a 6mm hole where the 3mm maker is.
@qiushizhang5643 Sorry, but the video only came out a few hours before the ks was due to finish. Wanted to know about the specs a bit better. Cannot wait till it gets here now.
Does MetroX work well with AMD Ryzen 9 9950x? I just picked up my new pc yesterday with DDR5 and 4090 GPU. I see a lot of talk about Intel CPUs not so much about AMD.
The kickstarter page updated the requirements during the campaign. They included Ryzen chips. They also said they were using a machine below that spec and it worked quite well. I think your machine will work.
I have a beginner's question: Is the point distance in fusion only limiting the ability to catch small features, or also accuracy/resolution? Difficult to tell what I mean, but let me try by massively over-simplifying it: Assuming I scan a square block with the length of 50.3mm. In the middle there is a groove with a width of 0.2mm. Now I fuse with 0.5mm. I assume that I will lose the groove, or it will be at least "washed out" a lot. But will I still get 50.3mm overall length, or either 50 or 50.5? As said, massively over-simplifying here. But I hope it is clear what I mean: Does the algorithm intelligently spread the points in a way that keeps the density but also the accuracy, or does it just put them in on the nearest position matching the fixed grid?
You answered most of the questions yourself. The accuracy is built into the hardware and can't be changed to be better, it's the volume accuracy , fusion is just a resolution of the surface . So if you fuse on the lower settings you will lose the fine detail on the surface but still keep the accuracy of the volume itself . If you simplify the point cloud after fusion you are going to alter the total volume accuracy and I would not recommend simplifying or heavily editing the point cloud as nothing can make it better .
@@xile6 Yeah, we asked for feature scan mode example. OK, the Full Field mode, the one without markers, that works like Feature mode in other Revopoint scanners.
I do wish they would answer that. I guess I'll know soon enough. It seems like it can pick up black areas of a colorful object. Based on examples from their forums. So that's something anyway.
@@kaczorefx they never claimed full field to scan black. It is structured light which generally needs spray for dark items. Just how the tech is. Now structure light can pick up on some black items. Just not all like laser.
@@xile6 All the beta testers mentioned that Metro scans black plastics waaaay better then any of the other Revopoint scanners in full field mode. That even if you'll never use the laser line modes the full field itself is worth the price. I'd like to see it in action :)
It is the scanning point resolution , and how closer the points will be collected while laser scanning , it is important to choose the right settings and not overdue it . More is not always better . How smaller the distance how longer it will take to collect points on the surface and with it the frame count will be higher . For example you are scanning a bumper you set it at 2 mm distance , or you scanning a screw and you put it at 0.2 mm distance , all depends on the surface details you want to capture . If you are not sure about the right settings just use the caliper and measure the finest detail before scanning . Of course if your details are below 0.2 mm you want to switch to Full Field for a more dense scanning option .

only large or a mixture of large and small will work at the same time?
is the software only looking for a certain size in the "remover marker point" function?
can you merge "laser" scans with "blue light" scans?
and how many scans can you merge, your showing 2, whats the maximum number?
Holy Cow! That's a lot of questions but I love it.
1. Both 3mm 6mm can use.
2. Mixture works at the same time.
3. No, you select remove marker size from 1 - 8(or 10? not 100% sure)
4. Idk, I'll try tomorrow

@PUTV3D Thanks a lot for the fast answer. This is what I assumed and hoped for :-) Just wanted to be sure
We actually didn't doubt the laser scanning abilities - we asked you to try scanning black plastic objects with the feature mode ;)
You cant laser scan in feature mode. All laser scanners need makers.

What are your laptop specs that you are running for this video?
What is the Preset Point Distance parameter at the top of the scanning parameters - It's new.
It is the scanning point resolution , and how closer the points will be collected while laser scanning , it is important to choose the right settings and not overdue it . More is not always better .

Wish you weren't turning the volume of the 'music' up so high compared to your voice. Otherwise great vid
Thanks for the feedback! We'll keep that in mind for future videos. 😊
Meh...
