Revopoint has launched the Range 2, a handheld 3D scanner “designed for capturing large objects like furniture, people, and vehicles”.
The Range 2 serves as a follow-up to the popular Range, which was launched early last year and fully funded on Kickstarter in just 30 seconds.
The Range 2 boasts single-frame precision of up to 0.1 mm, a scanning distance of up to 1300 mm – quite a leap up from the Range’s 800 mm – four white-flash LEDs that reduce shadows for improved full-color scans, and a two-megapixel RGB camera (up from the Range’s one megapixel). A Reddit post from Revopoint’s official account also points to an IR fill light and position sensors – both of which aim to improve stability – as new additions to the scanner.
The device also leverages a nine-axis inertial measurement unit (IMU) that contains a gyroscope, accelerometer, and magnetometer, which work together to stabilize scanning and result in smoother frame stitching.
The scanner includes both a handle that doubles as a power bank, and a tripod for support during stationary scans. Users can connect via Wi-Fi and USB-C, and control the scanner via three side-mounted buttons.
Interestingly, the Range 2 was not launched as a Kickstarter campaign – unlike its predecessor and many of Revopoint’s other offerings. Instead, those interested can purchase the Revopoint Range 2 directly via Revopoint’s website for $729, where a 10% off code (RANGE210) is valid until January 14.
