Revopoint MIRACO Plus

# Revopoint MIRACO Plus

Overview

The Revopoint MIRACO Plus is an all-in-one standalone 3D scanner for reverse engineering, large-object scanning, photogrammetric metrology, industrial design, automotive digitization, 3D printing, and full-color capture. It combines quad-camera infrared structured light with 1.5× and 2× infrared optical zoom and an integrated photogrammetric workflow for improving dimensional consistency across larger objects.

Unlike tethered handheld scanners, MIRACO Plus integrates processing hardware, storage, battery power, memory, and a touchscreen into the scanner itself. It can scan and perform core processing without a connected computer, covering small components through objects up to the manufacturer's published 4 × 4 × 4 m maximum scan volume.

Compared with the MIRACO/MIRACO Pro platform, MIRACO Plus improves single-frame accuracy to 0.04 mm, raises scanning speed to 20 FPS, adds optical zoom, and includes the Photogrammetric Metrology Kit. Buyers comparing professional scanners can also consider the Revopoint MetroX Pro for faster blue-laser engineering capture, the Creality CR-Scan Raptor Pro for hybrid blue-laser/NIR automotive workflows, or the SHINING 3D EINSTAR 2 for built-in wireless and outdoor scanning.

Scanning Technology and Performance

MIRACO Plus uses a quad-camera infrared structured-light system with Near and Far scanning configurations. Near mode targets smaller parts and detailed areas, while Far mode captures larger surfaces. Users can pause and switch between Near and Far modes during a conventional scan.

Its 1.5× and 2× infrared optical zoom concentrates projected infrared light for finer detail capture. The integrated photogrammetric workflow uses coded targets, markers, scale bars, the 48 MP RGB camera, and onboard optimization algorithms to establish global dimensional references across larger objects.

Technical Specifications

Note: Published accuracy and precision figures are manufacturer laboratory values. Real-world performance can vary with calibration, object characteristics, environmental conditions, and scanning technique.

Standalone Scanning Workflow

MIRACO Plus integrates the scanner, 8-core ARM A76 processor, Mali G52 GPU, 32 GB RAM, 256 GB storage, internal battery, and 6-inch 2K AMOLED touchscreen into one portable device. Scans can therefore be captured, fused, meshed, aligned, and initially processed without maintaining a wired connection to a computer.

Feature, Marker, and Global Marker tracking are supported. Feature tracking suits geometrically distinctive objects, Marker tracking helps with smooth or feature-poor surfaces, and Global Marker workflows are relevant to larger and photogrammetric projects.

Recommended use: Use onboard processing for field capture and initial model preparation, then transfer complex projects to a computer when deeper repair, CAD reconstruction, inspection, or advanced alignment is required.

Photogrammetric Metrology

The MIRACO Plus adds a photogrammetric measurement workflow for larger objects. Scale bars, coded targets, and markers establish dimensional references before detailed point-cloud data is captured.

Its stated photogrammetric length accuracy is 0.02 mm + 0.05 mm × L, where L is the maximum measuring distance in metres. At 2 m, the manufacturer's formula corresponds to a nominal 0.12 mm length error under the specified workflow and conditions.

The workflow is especially relevant to automobiles, machinery, ship or aircraft parts, and other large components where accumulated stitching error matters.

Important: Photogrammetric performance depends on correct target placement, scale-bar use, image coverage, and workflow execution. Do not treat the length-accuracy formula as a universal tolerance for every freehand scan.

Color and Surface Capture

A 48 MP RGB camera supports full-color texture capture. Infrared fill lights and white flash LEDs assist scanning and texture acquisition under different lighting conditions.

Transparent, dark, or highly reflective objects may require scanning spray or other surface preparation for reliable capture.

Software and File Compatibility

MIRACO Plus performs scanning and basic processing directly onboard and also integrates with current Revopoint desktop software.

Current Revopoint Software

• Revo Scan 6: Current-generation scanning and post-processing software compatible with MIRACO Plus
• Revo Scan 5: Still supported for MIRACO Plus and older project workflows
• Revo Design: Scan-to-CAD conversion for reverse-engineering workflows
• Revo Measure: CAD comparison, deviation analysis, inspection, and metrology workflows

Supported Output Formats

• PLY
• OBJ
• STL
• ASC
• 3MF
• GLTF
• FBX

Point clouds can be exported as PLY, OBJ, or ASC; mesh models support PLY, OBJ, STL, FBX, GLTF, and 3MF; textured models support PLY, OBJ, FBX, and GLTF.

Scan-to-Print Workflow

MIRACO Plus can digitize existing parts for replacement, modification, prototyping, and fit-check workflows. After mesh repair or CAD reconstruction, detailed resin reproductions may suit the Formlabs Form 4, while larger functional FDM parts may suit systems such as the Prusa CORE One+, Bambu Lab H2D, or Creality K2 Plus, depending on material, geometry, size, and required accuracy.

Note: A high-quality scan is not automatically manufacturing-ready. Dimensional validation, mesh repair, CAD reconstruction, and design-for-manufacturing checks may still be required.

Connectivity and Power

MIRACO Plus supports USB Type-C, Wi-Fi 6, and Bluetooth 4.1 connectivity. Its internal 5,000 mAh battery supports portable operation, while the scanner supports 65 W fast charging.

The official power requirement is DC 7–11V, 5A.

Applications

• Reverse engineering
• Industrial design
• Automotive scanning
• Large-component digitization
• Product development
• 3D printing
• Cultural heritage capture
• Full-color model creation
• Dimensional documentation

Limitations and Considerations

• Transparent and highly reflective surfaces may require scanning spray.
• Outdoor scanning should avoid direct sunlight.
• High-accuracy photogrammetric workflows require correct placement of scale bars and coded targets.
• At 750 g, MIRACO Plus is heavier than many compact tethered handheld scanners because it integrates its own processing hardware, display, storage, and battery.
• The scanner uses infrared structured light rather than blue-laser scanning, so application requirements should be considered when comparing it with dedicated industrial laser scanners.

Comparison Section

MIRACO Plus emphasizes standalone operation and large-object photogrammetric measurement. The Revopoint MetroX Pro instead emphasizes high-speed blue-laser engineering capture, while the Creality CR-Scan Raptor Pro and SHINING 3D EINSTAR 2 provide hybrid laser/infrared workflows.

Note: Manufacturers use different accuracy definitions and scan-rate units, so headline figures are not directly interchangeable.

Callout Section

Recommended use: MIRACO Plus is particularly suitable for users who want a completely standalone scanner capable of capturing both detailed components and large objects while adding photogrammetric measurement capability for dimensionally demanding projects.
