If you own one of the best 3D printers, then it won’t be long before you start thinking about purchasing one of the best 3D scanners as well. When paired together, 3D scanners and 3D printers are excellent tools to enable creatives to generate bespoke creations and print replicas of existing objects. In the past decade, technology has become so advanced that hobbyists are now able to produce the same, if not better, results that have previously been restricted to professionals.

Price

The Revopoint MetroX has a high price tag of £959 / $1,099. Though at this price point, it’s a little more affordable than the Creality CR-Scan Raptor. If you want something more budget-friendly than the MetroX, then you could go for the Revopoint Mini 2 instead, although it’s not as feature-rich as the model we’re reviewing.
Unboxing

The MetroX scanner and all the accessories ship in a fairly sizable, durable, metal carry case. This immediately tells you that the MetroX is not a scanner that is thrown in a bag for on-the-go scanning but is instead a professional solution that you take with you to a planned location. As a result, there is an abundance of foam padding to ensure every item contained inside is kept free from damage while in transit.
