Learning to scan with the Revopoint Miraco Part 1

Do you have an interest in 3D scanning? Maybe you’ve got a project around the house that could use the ability to replicate a broken part and bring it back to life? Or maybe you want to be able to make a custom-fit holder or something similar? Well, these are exactly the ideas that were rolling around my head when I contacted Revopoint to talk to them about 3D scanning technologies. We’ve teamed up with them to check out the Miraco 3D, a stand-alone 3D scanner capable of handling scanning as small as the threads on a screw (and smaller!) and an entire Bell 222 helicopter, all in the same machine! The idea of 3D scanning has always intrigued me, but the perceived complexity has made me shy away more than once. Well, how about we take that step together? Today I’m kicking off an ongoing series where I’m going to take you from zero to at least proficient over the course of several months. Each video I’ll take you through my journey, with no re-shoots – if I make a mistake, I’m going to stop, learn, and correct it without deleting the mistake. As I learn, you’ll learn, and we can discover this fascinating world together.

Today’s video kicks things off with the first part of any journey – getting it out of the box! We’ll take a look at what’s inside as well as what each part is meant to do. In a few weeks, we’ll take our next step – getting the device software updated, installing the software on our PC, and learning how to calibrate. I’m using my crystal ball to look ahead a bit, but having had it out of the box for a bit, I’m guessing it won’t be nearly as difficult as it seems.

I’m really looking forward to sharing this with all of you, so join me – let’s learn how to 3D Scan with Revopoint!
