Building upon its initial success with 3D scanner hardware, the newly launched compact Creality CR-Scan Ferret is a dramatic improvement in user experience. This scanner comes equipped with a brand-new mobile app and software designed with a focus on easy operation in various scenarios. Utilizing a smartphone and Ferret 3D scanner, users can capture 3D data in virtually any environment, including the workspace, garage, garden, exhibition hall, and even outdoors.

It enables makers and hobbyists to leverage high-precision 3D scanning at an affordable price similar to that of Creality’s own Ender 3 series 3D printer. With the Ferret, Creality aims to combine portability, usability and performance at a low price.

Creality CR-Scan Ferret: Features

A High-Performance Scanner

Creality CR-Scan Ferret is engineered with a dedicated ASIC depth computing chip that delivers deep processing for megapixel images at 60 frames per second. The processing speed is more than ten times that of general computing chips. This high-performance ASIC chip guarantees that Ferret can maintain a scanning frame rate of up to 30fps for smoother and faster scanning with less workload and low power consumption.

Larger Capturing with Dual Mode Scanning

The CR-Scan Ferret offers two different scanning modes: wide-range scanning and a high-accuracy mode. The two modes can seamlessly be switched based on user needs.
Wide-range mode enables users to capture large objects quickly. This mode offers a single capture range of up to 560 x 820mm, covering a large area and allowing users to adjust the distance for medium-sized and large objects. You can scan large objects such as car doors, engines, rear bumpers, and so on. The CR-Scan Ferret utilizes visual tracking instead of markers, making it easy and convenient to use no matter how big the object. You don’t need to stick anything on the objects before scanning – it tracks the scanning process automatically.

High-accuracy scanning mode captures medium and small-sized objects with high precision. This mode prompts an accuracy of up to 0.1mm and a 3D resolution of 0.16mm, which ensures high quality and that every detail is captured.

Reflect the Real World with Full Color Scanning

In addition to a larger scanning range, the Ferret also provides a more realistic scanning effect and user experience through a built-in camera and powerful technical strength. Equipped with a built-in high-resolution color camera, the Ferret captures full-color textures and automatically maps them onto the 3D model, which allows users to create high-quality, vivid color scans. Not only can users capture objects of various sizes and textures, but the Ferret also ensures that vivid colors of the real world are scanned as well.

Outdoor Scanning

3D Scanners usually have difficulty coping with too much direct light, leading most users to primarily scan in a dark or controlled environment for the optimal scanning results.

CR-Scan Ferret works well both indoors and outdoors, even in bright sunlight. This versatility stems from its advanced optical technology and intelligent algorithm. This scanner can also capture black and dark-colored objects better than other scanners due to its advanced material adaptability. Users can also power the scanner with a portable charger, providing the portability needed to take and utilize it anywhere.

Compact Design, Affordable Price

The Creality CR-Scan Ferret is a remarkable scanner that offers high quality at an affordable price, and it’s much smaller and lighter than similar scanners on the market. Weighing only 105 grams, this scanner is about the same as an orange!

The Creality CR-Scan Ferret is easy to hold and carry around. You can slip it into your pocket or backpack while taking up minimal space. You can place your phone on the stand and connect it to Ferret and see scanning results in real time. The Ferret scanner has low power consumption and can be powered with a 5V power bank, or even your Android phone. Carry it and utilize the scanning power of the Ferret without breaking the bank or your back.

Creality Scan App/Software

The Creality CR-Scan Ferret’s accompanying mobile app and software, Creality Scan, has many features that help the user achieve clean scans and complete models. For example, the app/software features one-click model optimization and multi-positional auto alignment, auto noise removal, simplified topology, color texture mapping, and much more.

You can also upload and share models via the Creality Cloud, allowing you to slice your scanned objects and even send them to a 3D printer — all with the click of a button.
