3D Scanner Creality CR Scan Lizard - Premium Kit, 0.05 mm Accuracy and 10 FPS Scan Speed 3D Scanner, Aviation Aluminium Plug with Turntable

Product Information

Creality’s lawyer asserts that Jimuyida independently developed the code without the work of former Artec employees. On the other hand, the Revopoint MINI and Creality CR-Scan Lizard are geared towards small objects almost exclusively, thanks to their professional-grade precision and accuracy. Cameras POP 2 Next, we painted Omnom from Sparkyface5 formerly, which I printed a while ago. It didn’t turn out perfect but for one of the first scan attempts, I’m satisfied. We’re seeing some weird grooves in the surface, no idea where they’re coming from. A pass. The STL of the scan is here: omnom_scan.zip .

Creality, a 3D printing heavyweight and ever-reliable peddler of value, was bound to jump onto the 3D scanner wagon at some point. It did just that with the Creality CR-T, followed closely by the Creality CR-Scan 01, one of the most affordable scanners on the market. Hey, Karl here, and today we are going to review Creality’s CR-Scan Lizard. This device is a 3D scanner that uses the structured light process to 3D scan. Instead of visible light, it uses non-visible light. I have no idea where lizards come into play but here we are. I have been waiting for quite some time for a lower-cost consumer 3D scanner. I attempted a DIY structured light scanner a long time ago, with some success…..but the time it took was unacceptable. It took me hours to set up perfectly and many more cleaning up point clouds and aligning even for a small scan. Leading me to give up on the project. I search around the Internet periodically but have never found a good working DIY solution. I am glad we are starting to see some relatively good cheapish scanners come out in the past year. Creality CR-Scan Lizard specifications Both scanners offer commendable capabilities, yet they are tailored to different user demands. The Ferret 3D scanner catches the eye with its lightweight and portable design, tipping the scales at a mere 105 grams. This makes it an incredibly convenient choice for users who require on-the-go scanning. In hindsight, I could have done some things differently. First I zoomed in on my camera app to try to capture as much data as possible when I was setting the camera up. I should have tried to keep it small. Potentially orienting the camera behind the scanner. I am not positive this will work though. The camera needs to be as close to the scanner’s camera as possible to avoid parallax errors. I could also reduce the output file size by reducing the quality in my phone’s camera app. Success RateDifferent definitions and naming conventions for specifications can confuse when looking at the numbers alone, so let’s break down where each scanner is best suited. The Revopoint POP 2 and Creality CR-Scan 01 are general use scanners suitable for capturing a broad range of items, but the richness of detail tends to tail off for smaller objects. This makes them ideal for face and body scans, for example. The scanner does not have to be specially calibrated. When the software is first started, it loads a calibration file online. I feel this file should be online, but it is not.

No labeling point required:Scanning distance: 15.75-35.45 inches (40-90 cm) Working range: 11.80-19.70 inches (30-50 cm) Scan resolution: 0.5mm; Image size: 536x378 10 frames per second accuracy: 0.1mm .I can’t find any recommended PC specs. I have an AMD Ryzen 9 3900X with an RTX 3070 in an Unraid VM and have to wait considerable amounts of time when doing some operations. A VM does leave a little bit on the table because I give 3 CPU to all the services but should be on par with a Ryzen 3700X. The GPU can help with these 3D tasks and the software does appear to utilize my Nvidia 3070. Scanning doesn’t seem too CPU intensive but I could see someone being frustrated using a laptop or older PC while generating a mesh. Meshing fully utilizes my CPU most of the time. You have been warned. Moral of the story: be wary if trying to use a potato for meshing. Note: I was imaging a MicroSD card at the time of the screenshot which explains the 100% usage of Disk 1. Scanning High accuracy】The CR-Scan Lizard can scan small parts and 3D prototypes with deep, hard-to-reach details. The CR-Scan Lizard features a binocular design that achieves professional-grade accuracy of up to 0.05mm through an improved precision calibration method. Its 3D point distance ranges from 0.1mm to 0.2mm with a minimum scan size of 15mm. Given that this scanner does not use Structured Light, as is the case with the Einscan S tested years ago or the Revopoint Mini, it then becomes difficult to compare the unit with these scanners. When the software launches, you choose between “Table Mode” and “Hand Scan.” If you wish to change modes, you have to close and restart the software.

I was disappointed in the performance while scanning a PCB because it was one of the first things I thought of when asked to review….but they are not that difficult to just measure and the real time savings are when needing measurements/references for complex objects. If you are in the market for a scanner and run into one of those turntable laser pointer line 3D scanners. I wouldn’t even consider one of them. It is an expensive toy. I was sent one a long time ago and I never posted a review because it performed so poorly. The scanner has a sleek design and at 370 grams feels quite solid. The data cable connects to the scanner with a sturdy aviation grade plug that won’t fall out when attempting hand held scans. Compared to professional-grade 3D scanners priced in the thousands of dollars, all four scanners scream affordability. Both Revopoint and Creality’s respective scanners offer substantial value if we consider the features, scan quality, and asking price. The Creality CR-Scan Lizard is an interesting foray into the world of 3D scanning. The potential for this device is amazing – imagine being able to scan your kid’s actions figures and put their own faces on them? Or scan an object to make a perfect replacement part? There’s a lot of fun things we could do with a 3D scanner. The scan came out reasonably good, which I attribute to its flat white surface. There was significant rounding off of the sharp edges though. I was disappointed that the eye detail is completely gone, though. Please forgive the crop on the right, as I still have not figured out how to move an object in the CR Studio software, if it’s even possible to do so.Also, with my current skills and knowledge, I cannot scan 28mm tabletop miniatures well with the Lizard. Select any stray pixels surrounding the scan with the polygon sector and delete these too. Now press Process and your scans should pop together correctly.
