RaptorX VS Raptor: Tech Parameters Comparison

Compared to Raptor, RaptorX is equipped with 34 cross blue laser lines for scanning and wireless scanning. Its scanning speed of 1.02 million points/s is 2.4 times that of Raptor; the depth of field range is 1.8 times that of Raptor, and the width is twice that of Raptor. This significantly improves scanning efficiency without compromising details.

Creality RaptorX Key Features

Innovative Blue Laser and NIR Technology

The Creality RaptorX is a metrology-grade 3D scanner that offers easy, wireless scanning with Creality Scan Bridge. It features three light sources—blue, white, and infrared—and can perform large-format, high-speed scanning with 34 cross laser lines, as well as fine scanning with 7 parallel laser lines and infrared capabilities. This scanner is ideal for capturing medium to large complex parts across various industries, including automotive, reverse engineering, product design, energy, and heavy industry. It facilitates full-size inspections, reverse design, 3D printing, and additive manufacturing. Additionally, it is well-suited for scanning subjects like human bodies, faces, and cultural artifacts.

Designed for Comfort, Portability, Durability, and Accuracy

The RaptorX designed to provide a comfortable user experience in various situations while delivering fast and accurate scans with metrology-grade precision of up to 0.02mm.

Featuring a low-distortion lens with less than 5‰ distortion, it ensures highly accurate scans. The 20mm depth of field allows for sharp focus on a wide range of objects, making it perfect for capturing detailed images at both close and distant ranges. Its nine-element glass construction enhances image clarity and minimizes optical defects, resulting in outstanding image quality.

In terms of design, the Raptor X features a metal barrel and stand that enhance durability, ensuring you can rely on this scanner for years to come. Despite its robust construction, it remains lightweight at just 370 grams, making it easy to carry. It also includes an anti-slip cover, a detachable lanyard, and a ring indicator light for added comfort and usability.

Small to Large Objects - Indoors and in Low-light Settings

The Creality Raptor X can scan objects ranging from 5 to 4,000mm³ using blue laser technology, and 150 to 2,000mm³ with infrared structured light. It performs well in both outdoor and low-light conditions, thanks to the blue laser’s strong environmental tolerance, while an auxiliary white LED light enhances color and texture visibility.

Large Capacity & Fast Charging

Equipped with a high-capacity 35,400 mWh battery, the Raptor X offers over 4 hours of battery life and features fast charging, reaching 80% in just 1.5 hours. This ensures you can scan without worry, especially in outdoor settings or when working with large objects. It also includes a battery indicator and a quick magnetic setup function for added convenience.

Wi-Fi 6 AX6000 Fast Data Transmission

For data transfer, the Creality Raptor X utilizes fast Wi-Fi 6 technology, paired with a wireless controller that enhances the portability of laser 3D scanners. With advanced lossless data compression algorithms, it achieves latency as low as 10 ms and transfer rates of up to 4.7 Gbps, allowing you to quickly and easily transfer scan data through the Raptor X’s lightning-fast Wi-Fi 6 or a simple USB Type-C connection.

FAQs

1、How to get better model details?

  • The parallel line mode is more precise than the infrared mode;
  • During the scanning process, adjust the exposure time of the lR camera to ensure moderate exposure; in parallel line mode, the laser intensity also needs to be adjusted,
  • Try to maintain the best distance:
  • When optimizing the point cloud, you need to set a smaller point distance; when the object size s small, the point distance can be set to 0.mm note that the smaller the point distance, the more memory and processing time will be consumed)
  • When constructing the mesh, the number of facets of the model should be set large enough. For more scanning tips, please visit: https://wiki.creality.com/3d-scanner

2. How do l scan the bottom of an object?

  • Creality scan software provides the function of multi-project splicing, which can obtain a complete model of the object through multiple scanning and splicing;
  • First scan the visible part to get a partial model, then flip the object over and continue scanning through repositioning to get the complete model this method is only applicable when the marking points are attached to the surface of the object). Scanning through repositioning to get the complete model (this method is only applicable when the marking points are attached to the surface of the object).

3. How to charge the wireless controller?

When only one of the power indicator lights on the wireless controller is on, please charge it in time. For charging, please bing your own charging head for existing electronic products on the market, connect it to the fast charging data cable, and plug it into the type-c port at the rear end of the controller base to charge, when all four lights are not flashing, it means it is fully charged. Under normal circumstances, a 20-1.5A(30w) charging head can be fully charged in only 2.5 hours, and the charging time of other charging heads varies according to the power.

4. When do you need to use the marker mode?

  • Parallel line mode and cross line mode: require reflective marking points.
  • Infrared mode: when the geometric features of the object surface are not rich, you can stick reflective markers on the surface of the object and scan it in marker mode.

5. When can texture mode be used?

When the surface geometric features of an object are not rich, but the texture is very rich (such as a vase), you can scan it directly using the texture mode.

6. When is calibration required?

  • When the device is not used for a long period of time (such as a week) or when it experiences a collision.
  • When high scanning accuracy is required, please calibrate before scanning.

7. Can l use the calibration plate from other scanner models?

The calibration plate of Other scanner models cannot be used, Each time you calibrate, you need to scan the QR code on the back of the calibration plate first, otherwise the calibration accuracy will be affected, Please keep the calibration plate properly.

8. What precautions should be taken when storing calibration plates?

After each use, please carefully put the calibration plate back into the bag and keep it properly. Do not contaminate, scratch, or squeeze the calibration plate with heavy objects to avoid loss or damage to the calibration plate.

9. How to perform calibration?

Enter the【Quick Calibration】 interface in the Creality Scan software and follow the animation prompts to calibrate.
