Optical Tracking 3D Scanners

The Revopoint Trackit is an optical tracking 3D scanner developed by Revopoint 3D that employs marker-free scanning technology. The system integrates a dual-camera optical tracking base station with blue laser scanning to capture high-precision three-dimensional data without the need for additional markers or surface treatments. It operates via two scanning modes—a 30-line cross blue laser mode for efficient capture of broad surface areas and a single-line mode tailored for detailing challenging geometries such as deep recesses. With a working distance of up to 4 meters and a volumetric accuracy that approximates 0.025 mm plus 0.04 mm per linear meter, the device is capable of digitizing objects ranging from small components to larger workpieces.

The design of Revopoint Trackit also incorporates automated gimbal calibration, which streamlines the setup process and reduces calibration time compared to conventional marker-based systems. This automated calibration minimizes user intervention by realigning the sensors in real time, thereby enhancing measurement consistency and reducing the likelihood of manual error. Engineered for a broad spectrum of applications—including quality control, reverse engineering, and digital prototyping—the system is positioned to address the needs of industrial and engineering environments. Its current introduction on Kickstarter, offering early backers promotional pricing, reflects an effort to integrate technical precision with improved workflow efficiency.
