So-called 3D scanners are becoming increasingly popular with both professionals and home users. After all, they are used in many areas such as medicine or to create blueprints for 3D prints. Precision is particularly important here. The new Creality RaptorX aims to shake up the 3D scanner market with a combination of laser blue light and near infrared (NIR). We want to take a closer look at this promising piece of technology from the laser experts.
Creality RaptorX: Revolutionary technology
The RaptorX is a hybrid scanner as it uses two scanning methods. On the one hand, a 41x blue light laser is used. Thanks to the division into 34 cross and 7 parallel laser beams, the 3D scanner can not only scan large objects quickly. Fine details are also detected precisely and can be seen on the final scan. The laser beams are extremely fine at 0.01 mm. In combination with the built-in 2.3 MP camera, the Raptors X does not miss even the smallest detail.
In addition to the blue light laser, NIR technology is also used. This enables 3D scans without annoying prior marking, which is made possible by targeted spot alignment. This ensures significantly faster scanning processes. Face & Body Mode is particularly practical. Here, Creality’s unique algorithm ensures that an entire human body can be scanned in just 2 minutes.
Face & Body Mode is just one example of the 3D scanner’s individual modes. It also has other features on board with one-click processing, cross-project alignment, point cloud editing, a marking mode and simple calibration. Thanks to step-by-step instructions, even newcomers can get to grips with the range of functions in the tailor-made CrealityScan software.
Creality RaptorX: Handy design
The RaptorX also cuts a fine figure when it comes to manageability. A cordless handle makes it easy to transport the 3D scanner. This means that the objects to be scanned can be scanned in a targeted and promising manner. With a weight of just 370 grams and an anti-slip surface, it can also be used for longer periods without any problems.
In general, Creality makes it clear that this is a premium class scanner. The manufacturer not only relies on a lens with the lowest possible distortion. A 9-element glass lens is also used. Both the lens barrel and mount are also made entirely of metal. This promises high material quality and durability.
Creality RaptorX: A wide range of applications
Thanks to the hybrid technology, both small and large objects can be scanned with the greatest possible accuracy. Creality speaks of a minimum size of 5 x 5 x 5 mm and a maximum size of 4000 x 4000 x 4000 mm. The RaptorX can be used wirelessly thanks to its powerful wireless data transmission, which ensures a great deal of flexibility in use.
The handy 3D scanner relies on the fast WiFi 6 standard. The lossless algorithm ensures that the scans are sent to the computer at lightning speed. The delay here is just 10 ms and data transfer is possible at up to 4.7 GB/s. Alternatively, a connection via USB-C is also possible.
Creality RaptorX: Can also be used outdoors
The blue light laser also ensures a great deal of flexibility in use. After all, experience has shown that it is highly resistant to external environmental influences. This is due to the high brightness of the laser, which is up to 100,000 lux. This means that the RaptorX can also be used outdoors without hesitation.
The wireless 3D scanner’s 35400 mAh battery provides up to 4 hours of endurance. Its charging capacity can be recognized via practical LED lights. Once the battery is empty, you can give it a new lease of life in a flash thanks to the quick charge function. Within 1.5 hours, the scanner charges sufficiently to bring the battery level up to 80 percent.

Small but powerful. This is probably the best way to describe the Creality RaptorX. After all, it’s amazing how much technology the manufacturer has packed into this handy gadget. If you’re interested in the 3D scanner, you can save big at the moment. The Creality RaptorX is available in the Early Bird promotion from October 8 to 11, 2024 with a whopping 35% discount. You can get the scanner for 3049.00 euros instead of 4699.00 euros. It pays to be quick. From October 12 to 21, 2024, Creality is only offering a 13% discount in its second round of the market launch event. The RaptorX will then be available for 4089.00 euros, which is still well below the original price.
