The Revopoint MINI 3D Scanner is a powerful tool, opening doors for designers, engineers, makers, and medical and scientific research workers who need to create 3D models quickly. In these roles, creating a 3D model is often essential to the work, but the ability to do it is locked behind hard-to-learn and time-consuming 3D modeling software or costly 3D scanners.
The Revopoint MINI 3D Scanner removes all these obstacles by dramatically lowering the barrier to 3D creative production, allowing the efficient creation of 3D models without needing a great deal of skill or a lot of money. In fact, it increases the efficiency of producing 3D models by more than ten times, saving time and money.
As the MINI enables you to quickly and accurately reconstruct CAD models consistent with real-life objects and realize repairs, transformations, and innovative designs. It can quickly scan industrial spare parts with complex shapes and surfaces and output models with a point distance of up to 0.05mm and precision of up to 0.02mm.
Reverse Engineering
This showcase from @PopUpTheVolume (PUTV) in Revopoint’s forum beautifully demonstrates MINI’s ability to create high-accuracy scans of small fasteners. In this case, a 1/4″ to 3/8″ screw adapter that PUTV then 3D printed to test if it works. PUTV shared that printing and testing was the big test, as if the 3D model had any stitching errors, then the printed model wouldn’t work.
And as shown below, the 3D-printed model of the 1/4″ to 3/8″ screw adapter worked flawlessly, confirming the accuracy of the MINI scanner.

PUTV also shared some of the other scans they did that highlighted the level of detail the MINI can capture.

Historical Research
The Revopoint MINI 3D Scanner’s ability to capture color and create 3D models with a single-frame precision of up to 0.02mm, whether scanning small objects such as insect fossils or larger ones such as dinosaur bones. Enables the safe and accurate creation of 3D models for preserving, restoring, and researching historical items and fossils.
Here is an example of a 3D-printed model scanned with MINI from @PopUpTheVolume. The details are perfectly captured and output into a complete and precise model, almost a 100 percent match for the original marble jade statues.
Products Design
When it comes to jewelry design, the Revopoint MINI is more than capable. By accurately capturing the jewelry’s details, the MINI allows for the efficient redesign, engraving, and customization of jewelry, placing professional-level design capabilities and techniques in your hands with ease.
@PopUpTheVolume had this to say about scanning jewelry, “And some more stuff scanned with MINI, merged in Revo Studio, and cleaned up with CC. Usually, I would not scan with the stone and remove it before, but this gives me some challenges. I like that MINI can reach much deeper into the volume. The holes under the ring are the diameter of a needle, less than 0.70mm.”
Healthcare Application
Another of the most advanced features of the Revopoint MINI 3D scanner is its ability to capture complete facial and body data in seconds, which is particularly useful in the healthcare industry. This creates customized healthcare solutions that can be used to perform pre-and post-operation analysis and gather data needed for procedures such as plastic and restorative surgery. MINI helps to obtain the face or body data and allows doctors to simulate the results of surgery to give the patient a clear idea of the end result.
AR/VR & Animation
For animation, virtual reality, and augmented reality industry practitioners, the Revopoint MINI 3D scanner can quickly scan objects, resulting in high-quality models, significantly reducing the time spent on modeling and considerably increasing the project’s overall efficiency.
Bust scanned for in-game clutter
MINI removes the need for laborious traditional manual measurement for quality inspection. As the Revopoint MINI 3D scanner can accurately collect the surface data of objects without contact, then the 3D point cloud model can be compared with the designed CAD model to check if the model meets the acceptable tolerances.
Compared with other 3D scanners, Revopoint MINI is more compact and portable and weighs only 160g, allowing it to be taken everywhere. And with the help of upgraded intelligent algorithms and a scanning speed of up to 10 frames per second, stitching errors are significantly reduced in successive scanning. The integration of a self-developed chip allows MINI to directly output 3D data in real time, allowing you to see the 3D model take shape as you scan the object.
The Revopoint MINI 3D scanner successfully lowers the barriers around 3D modeling learning and affordability, enabling designers to free themselves from the tedious modeling work to focus more on creation itself.
