Detailed Description

# Revopoint MetroX Pro Standard Edition

Overview

The Revopoint MetroX Pro Standard Edition is a professional blue-light 3D scanner for reverse engineering, dimensional capture, quality control, additive manufacturing, rapid prototyping, automotive work, and product development. It supports both handheld and desktop workflows, combining multi-line blue-laser scanning with full-field blue structured light for small-to-medium objects.

Compared with the original MetroX, the Pro version increases the laser-line count, improves volumetric accuracy, raises multi-line laser scan speed, and adds PC-to-mobile scan streaming through Revo Mirror.

Tracking and Scanning Workflow

MetroX Pro supports Feature, Marker, and Global Marker tracking. Feature tracking is intended for geometrically detailed objects, Marker tracking helps with smooth or featureless parts, and Global Marker tracking is intended to improve volumetric accuracy across larger scanning projects.

The official scan-volume range is 10 × 10 × 10 mm to 1 × 1 × 1 m, although the scanner is primarily optimized for small-to-medium workpieces.

Important: Laser-line scanning modes require markers for tracking. Marker-free scanning applies to suitable feature-rich objects in structured-light workflows rather than to the laser modes.

For high-accuracy marker workflows, Revopoint recommends sufficient marker coverage in every frame and 6 mm markers for demanding accuracy requirements.

Surface and Object Compatibility

The Cross-Line and Parallel-Line laser modes can scan many black, dark, or shiny surfaces directly. Scanning spray may still improve detail and stability on difficult surfaces.

Transparent or specular surfaces require scanning spray in multi-line laser workflows. In Full-Field Structured Light, scanning spray is recommended for transparent, black, specular, or highly reflective surfaces. Black surfaces can therefore behave differently depending on scanning mode.

Important: MetroX Pro uses a Class 2M laser projector. Do not look directly into the beam at close range or through magnifying optical instruments, and avoid placing mirror-like reflective surfaces in the beam path.

The MetroX series is not intended for scanning people or animals.

Software and File Compatibility

MetroX Pro works with Revo Metro, Revopoint's scanning and processing software for acquisition, alignment, fusion, meshing, editing, and export.

Supported Output Formats

Related Software

Revo Metro: Scanning and post-processing
Revo Design: Optional scan-to-CAD workflow
Revo Measure: Optional metrology and dimensional-analysis workflow
Revo Mirror: PC-to-mobile real-time scan monitoring supported by MetroX Pro

Revo Metro exports meshes and point-cloud data for CAD, inspection, slicing, and modeling workflows. For scan-to-print projects, prepared models can move into additive workflows such as the Formlabs Form 4 for detailed resin prototypes or FDM platforms such as the Prusa CORE One+ and Bambu Lab H2D, after appropriate mesh repair, CAD reconstruction, and slicing.

Connectivity and Computer Requirements

MetroX Pro connects directly to a computer through USB Type-C and supports Windows 10/11 64-bit and macOS 11 or later through Revo Metro.

Minimum Windows Requirements

Intel Core i7 13th Gen or AMD Ryzen 7 5800
32 GB RAM or more
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 with 8 GB VRAM

Recommended Windows Requirements

Intel Core i9 12th Gen or better
64 GB RAM or more
NVIDIA RTX 4060 8 GB or better

Minimum macOS Requirements

Apple M2 Pro
16 GB RAM or more

Recommended macOS Requirements

Apple M4 Pro or better
24 GB RAM or more

Note: Revopoint states that dedicated-GPU acceleration is used for laser-line scanning. Current Windows GPU acceleration guidance is centered on supported NVIDIA RTX hardware; AMD and Mac GPUs do not provide the same laser-line acceleration path.

Recommended use: Higher-performance hardware is preferable for dense point clouds, high frame rates, large meshes, scan-to-CAD work, and professional inspection.

Standard Edition Package

The MetroX Pro Standard Edition includes:

MetroX Pro 3D scanner and wrist strap
Tripod and scanner cradle
USB Type-C to Type-C cable
