      Atm i'm using a pop2 but I have my problems with tracing and there is no "undo" option in revoscan 5.
      I'm considering buying a new scanner, but i still don't know if einstar, otter or raptor.....
      The software should also be considered in my decision.
      I use my scanner for car parts like brake caliper, wheel carrier, suspension,..., in the future also complete engine bays.
      Which one would you recommend?

    Thanks for the review, there is so little out there about the Raptor right now. 14:21 Your comparison shows that the laser scanner is a different animal 😂 in this regard BUT I feel that the NIR part falls behind. The Raptor is not to be considered an upgrade to the Otter but a totally different unit with its own strengths and weaknesses.

    I seldom praise products on social media. But, the raptor is truly outstanding. It has readily beaten Einstar handheld hands down. The blue light makes a whole lot of difference for detailed scanning. Without a doubt, this means the raptor commands a slight premium versus the older einstar handheld. Great product from Creality. Seeing is really believing. Great review. It took me quite a few watch to be convinced to buy this. Still, I feel Einstar still has a place for large area scanning, except its not meant for detailed scans.

    I got one. Have been using the Creality Lizard and the Artec Leo. But I was really stunned! The ease of use and the software is almost turn key results.
    Where scanners have troubles on thin sheet metal corners (scanning from outside to inside) the Raptor had no problems, the use of markers is the key. I'm impressed.

If a sale goes for this product id love to get one.

      If the blue light isn’t needed for the application then I’d agree with many commenters the Einstar is better, the NIR isn’t as good. But, the blue light gives this a weapon the Einstar can’t match!

    Raptor for small to medium and Otter/Einstar for big stuff. I use the Einstar software to post process the Raptor scans.
    To be fair with the creality alignment/merging tool, cloud compare isn’t better in automatically align the scans.
    Creality software is deleting original scans after merging and you can’t use orthogonal view for deleting unwanted point cloud data.
    Opening a previews scan can take 10min. AMD 5900x, SSD or RAM disk, 64gb RAM. Additional you get a RAM warning when scanning wich pauses the scan, even when I have still 40gb RAM left.

      I'm deciding between the einstar and raptor, also considering waiting a bit to see einstar's response. I haven't used either, but I have a lot of time on a creaform handyscan black.
      Can you output or input a STL file with either creality or einstar software? Creaform has it's own file type and you can pay extra to import directly to Solidworks(probably others too). From there I'd save everything as an STL so I had a 'universal' file for future use. I'm definitely more interested in whichever software can bring in one of those STLs so I can add to it.
      Do either softwares allow you to make a duplicate of a scan while editing so you can retain your original(since Creality's software deletes it)?
      How is the feature generation? Does it do ok at creating planes from surfaces? Can it create a circle on a plane from picking up a cylindrical hole? How about orienting a part in space?

    • @Todestelzer
      @Todestelzer 5 месяцев назад +1

      @@TheBiscuitsandGravy Exstar scanning software has tools to create planes, lines and points and can do a alignment to xyz coordinate system but it’s NOT a reverse engineering Programm. These programs cost couple thousands of dollars unfortunately. But it can load a point cloud generated by Creality scan software. There is no merging/alignment for multiple cloud points I’m aware of.
      The Einstar can’t scan small parts like a game controller very well and has problems pick up black parts and the accuracy isn’t as good. The Raptor software has to improved. The scanner can scan very small parts and has little problems with black or metal parts but it needs markers for scanning in laser mode. It’s not as good with big objects as the Einstar.

I got the Scan Lizard via the Kickstarter and have honestly been pretty impressed with the performance (provided the object being scanned is properly prepped, i.e., non-reflective and not hairy, haha...). I mostly work with small objects (action figure stuff and similarly sized items). It works decently especially with the newer software. The software is still buggy, and getting multiple scans to merge properly is a challenge...but I'm usually able to get everything I need in just one scan, fortunately.

    I still think an external battery solution would be helpful for the Otter and Raptor - in fact, such an accessory would likely support most portable 3D scanners in their class.
    Since you are doing an electronics project for motorsport, I assume this is a temperature or fuel management controller? Using a Mini for rally is common, but not so much with the BMW. This means it would require a separate interface to monitor fuel pressure and engine temperature, when under high torque at speed.

Bit price jump but Laser is definitely an upgrade and I am already stuck fighting Crealitys SW so maybe its worth the jump for some value add without having to buy a Nvidia workstation.

      For ease of use and simplicity, the Einstar is my favorite, but try to scan something small and you’ll want to smash it into bits.

    Hi, I have some questions,
    I have to buy a new scanner (before I had the cr scan 01 that I sold)
    I usually scan engine parts (usually 2 stroke engine) and motorcycle fairing
    But in the near future I have to scan an engine bay and an engine to design the intake for a prototype
    I’m stuck between otter and raptor cause for some work one is better than the other and vice versa but actually I can buy only one
    What do you advice?
    My biggest concern is the space in the engine bay with fitted engine, I think it’s small for the raptor to do a good job, but with the laser I can have better resolution in other models (and no problem with dark or reflective parts)
    I have to say that most of the time fairings and other things are black or dark (cf or something like that)

    • @MakingforMotorsport
      @MakingforMotorsport  4 месяца назад +1

      If I could only have one scanner it would be the Otter. The laser in the Raptor is a good trick, but ultimately one that’s not too useful for automotive, unless for example you want to do an engine/gearbox adaptor scan…

      @@MakingforMotorsport so, do you think otter good enough to find head plane and screw position to create an intake manifold for a 4stroke engine? ( like you do in the video with your mini?)
      Is it also good enough for motorcycle fairings? (My latest work was about replicate some parts on an old aprilia gp after a crash (smallest parts is about 20x20cm)
      Latest question
      I have to buy also a new computer cause actually my main is a little bit old and with shit (in 2024) components
      I’m stuck between a dell workstation with 13850hx and Rtx 4000ada or save some money and a hp workstation with 13900h (or 13700hx) with rtx 2000
      I usually use solidworks and fusion 360, actually I’m trying to learn blender and in my new work I start using Siemens nx
      I don’t know if it is worth spending 1000+€ and buy the better one or save some money (actually I have an old 6800k and a 1060 and they do their job with a lot of patient and frustration)
      Thanks a lot for you availability

    I think it would have been more impressive on the beamer to have spread the markers out and scanned a larger area of the car that would be useful to have 3d model of like large single parts i.e. a quarter panel, a door panel, a plastic trim piece that's easily broken and replaced by a 3d print. You kinda got the bumper of the mini. That being said how memory intense is the software? What's the average size file of a small model compared to a large one? How much RAM is being used during scanning/rendering? I noticed you said it performed better connected to your laptop. Did you mention a price? I'm not intending to be super critical of the video. I'm genuinely curious and all but the last one aren't the kinds of questions are usually answered by ad. Thanks for the vid. I pushed the buttons. Keep up the good work.

    By the showed your review this scanner should be use only in laser mode and for this you have to use markers. If someone buy and use only in Nir mode them is better to buy an otter scanner because Nir mode is better than raptor. Minute 14:21

      All scanners output STL files which all slicer software can handle and print fro, however there will be some amount of clean up required to go from scan to print, it’s not hard and free software like MeshMixer can be used but it’s still going to be a step in the workflow…

    I'm confused. What's the difference between the otter and the raptor. Scan quality wise not feature wise. I'm ready to buy but the price of the raptor is quite steep. I've seen the otter in many cases to do better. It would save a lot of money to buy the otter but as they say buy cheap buy twice.
