To mark twelve years in the 3D scanning industry, Revopoint is launching two new scanners built for very different users. The MetroY Ultra is a high-speed industrial scanner engineered for verified, measurement-ready accuracy. The POP 4 is a hybrid blue laser and infrared scanner heading to Kickstarter, aimed at creators, engineers, and makers who want capable everyday scanning at an accessible price.
Both launches reflect how far the 3D scanning market has matured. Where early consumer scanners competed almost exclusively on price, today’s buyers range from hobbyists scanning props and collectibles to quality control engineers running dimensional inspections on production parts. Revopoint is addressing both ends of that spectrum at once, and using its anniversary as the moment to do it.
Revopoint MetroY Ultra: Industrial Scanning with On-Site Accuracy Verification
The MetroY Ultra is aimed squarely at quality control engineers, reverse engineers, and industrial designers who need data they can stake measurements on, not just surface geometry for visual reference. Its headline specification is a volumetric accuracy of 0.015 mm + 0.04 mm × L (m), which in practical terms means the scanner stays within 0.015 mm of true on small parts, with only a small additional tolerance as the measured object gets larger. For reference, 0.015 mm is roughly one-sixth the thickness of a sheet of paper.
To help users confirm that accuracy on-site rather than relying on factory calibration alone, the MetroY Ultra CMM Edition ships with a CMM-certified carbon-fiber ball plate for real-time verification. CMM (Coordinate Measuring Machine) certification is the industry benchmark for dimensional accuracy in manufacturing environments, so this is a meaningful inclusion for labs and production floors where traceability matters.
Scanning Modes and Speed
The MetroY Ultra supports five scanning modes to handle different part geometries, surface conditions, and measurement challenges:
- 34-line cross laser mode for fast, general-purpose capture
- 15-line parallel fine mode for high-detail surface work
- Single-line deep-hole mode for narrow cavities and recessed features
- Full-field blue structured-light mode for broader surface capture
- Automatic turntable scanning for hands-free all-around capture of parts
Multi-line laser scanning runs at up to 90 frames per second, which keeps scan sessions short even on complex parts. The scanner also supports outdoor use in lighting conditions up to 100,000 lux, roughly equivalent to direct midday sunlight, without needing shading or a controlled environment.
Wireless Operation
The MetroY Ultra runs wirelessly via a connected mobile phone and is powered by an included 5,500 mAh battery grip, providing approximately 2.5 hours of untethered operation per charge. This makes it practical for use on the shop floor, at a client site, or anywhere a power outlet is not convenient.
CMM Edition: A Complete Metrology Workflow
For users who need a full scan-to-report pipeline, the CMM Edition adds a one-year licence for Revo Measure, Revopoint’s PTB-certified measurement software. PTB (Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt) is Germany’s national metrology institute, and software certification from them carries significant weight in industrial and regulatory contexts. Revo Measure handles GD&T analysis (Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing, the standard language for specifying and verifying part tolerances) and professional reporting, completing a workflow that runs from physical scan through to documented measurement results.
Both editions are available for pre-order now with a 10% launch discount. Use code REPD3DPT at checkout for an additional 2% off.
Revopoint POP 4: A Versatile Hybrid Scanner, Coming to Kickstarter
The POP 4 takes a different approach. Where the MetroY Ultra is optimised for measurement workflows, the POP 4 is built for breadth, covering a wide range of scanning scenarios with a single device. It combines blue laser and infrared structured-light technologies, allowing it to handle both fine-detail capture on small objects and broader scanning of large parts or outdoor subjects.
Key specifications include a 0.03 mm single-frame accuracy, up to 105 fps multi-line laser scanning, and outdoor capability at up to 100,000 lux. A 5,500 mAh battery grip delivers up to 4 hours of wireless use per charge, notably longer than the MetroY Ultra, reflecting its positioning as a portable, go-anywhere tool.
One feature worth highlighting is 3D Gaussian Splatting for photorealistic model export. Gaussian Splatting is an emerging technique in 3D capture that produces visually rich, highly realistic representations, going beyond the polygon meshes traditional 3D scanners generate. This makes the POP 4 potentially interesting not just for engineering and inspection use cases, but for content creation, archiving, and visualisation workflows as well.
The POP 4 is launching on Kickstarter, with sign-ups open now. Early backers can save up to 37% off the eventual retail price.

A Unified Software Ecosystem
Both scanners feed into Revopoint’s software stack, which is designed to connect hardware output to analysis and design without requiring third-party tools for most workflows. Revo Scan and Revo Metro serve as the starting points for data capture and processing, with one-click export into Revo Measure for GD&T analysis and reporting, and Revo Design for reverse engineering. The intention is to keep the pipeline from initial scan to finished output as straightforward as possible.
12th Anniversary Sale
Alongside the two new scanner launches, Revopoint is running a 12th Anniversary Sale with up to 15% off its full range of 3D scanners. Readers can use code REPD3DPT for an additional discount on eligible products.
