Groundbreaking Dual Light Source Technology

The CR-Scan Raptor stands out with its dual light source mode, integrating blue laser and infrared light to cater to a broad spectrum of scanning needs. From small bolts to entire cars, the Raptor’s adaptive technology can accurately scan objects ranging from 5mm up to 2,000mm. This capability makes it an indispensable tool across various industries, fulfilling the growing market demand for a versatile, precise, and efficient scanner.

Measurement-Grade Precision

The scanner achieves an exceptional accuracy of up to 0.02mm in laser mode, thanks to 7 blue laser lines each as thin as 0.1mm. This precision helps create 3D models with razor-sharp edges and fine details, enhanced by a high-resolution 2.3 million pixel 3D imaging camera. Such accuracy is critical for applications where the minutest inaccuracies can lead to significant consequences, such as in quality testing and product design.

High-Speed Scanning Capabilities

Speed is another great feature of the CR-Scan Raptor. The device boasts a data collection frame rate of up to 60fps with line laser scanning and up to 20fps using infrared structured light. This high-speed functionality ensures that even the most complex scanning tasks can be completed swiftly, enhancing productivity and reducing downtime in professional settings.

Versatile Application Across Industries

The Raptor’s versatility extends across multiple sectors. In industrial manufacturing, it serves as a vital tool for product design, quality assurance, and rapid prototyping, supporting the trend towards smart manufacturing and customized production. In the realm of art and cultural heritage, the scanner provides artists and conservators the ability to digitize sculptures and artifacts accurately, aiding in preservation and restoration efforts.

In healthcare, the Raptor facilitates precise measurements for surgeries, significantly improving outcomes in orthopedics and plastic surgery. This accuracy is crucial for customizing prosthetics and planning complex surgical procedures.

Enhanced Features for Professional Use

The CR-Scan Raptor is equipped with a wide array of features tailored for professional use:

• Wide Scanning Range: The scanner seamlessly handles objects from 5x5x5 mm³ to 2000x2000x2000 mm³, allowing it to scan diverse object sizes.
• Infrared Structured Light Scanning: This mode allows for marker-free point scanning and speckle matching, ideal for objects with rich features.
• Advanced Scanning Details: The device includes a sophisticated temperature compensation algorithm to maintain accuracy under varying environmental conditions. Its optical system features a φ20mm lens with low distortion and high-quality glass, ensuring clarity and precision.

The CR-Scan Raptor not only fulfills professional needs but is also designed with the average user in mind. It is portable and lightweight at just 0.82 lbs (370g), making it easy to operate with one hand, thus minimizing fatigue during prolonged use. It also features high-precision calibration technology, which simplifies setup and maintains long-term accuracy without the need for frequent adjustments. What sets the Raptor apart is its extraordinary precision and rapid scanning capabilities. With a metrology-grade accuracy of up to 0.02mm and a data collection frame rate reaching 60fps, it ensures that detailed and time-sensitive projects are handled with both speed and precision. Additionally, its wide scanning range, capable of capturing objects as small as 5x5x5 mm³ and as large as 2000x2000x2000 mm³, offers unmatched versatility across various applications. The integration of 12 additional fill lights dramatically enhances visibility and detail capture, even in less than ideal lighting conditions, solving a critical pain point for users in challenging environments.

As 3D scanning technology continues to be adopted widely across industries, the introduction of the CR-Scan Raptor is set to propel this trend forward. Its combination of precision, speed, and versatility makes it a pioneering tool in the field, poised to revolutionize how professionals across various disciplines approach measurement and design tasks.
