For engineers, industrial designers, quality control specialists, and even artists who demand unparalleled precision and efficiency in 3D scanning, the Revopoint TrackIt, featured on Kickstarter, represents a significant leap forward. Heralded as an optical tracking 3D scanner, TrackIt redefines the workflow by virtually eliminating the tedious need for physical markers on objects, enabling fast, highly accurate, and versatile 3D data capture for objects ranging from tiny coins to entire vehicles.
Project Overview
Name and Creator: Revopoint TrackIt - Optical Tracking 3D Scanner by Revopoint 3D
What It Is: A professional-grade 3D scanning system that combines a high-accuracy handheld blue laser scanner with a stationary, dual-camera optical tracking base station. This setup allows for precise, marker-free 3D data acquisition across a wide range of object sizes and surface types.
Key Features
Marker-Free Optical Tracking: The flagship feature. The system utilizes a dual-camera optical tracking base station (Tracker) that monitors the handheld scanner's spatial movement in real-time. This intelligent tracking eliminates the time-consuming and often cumbersome process of applying physical markers to objects, significantly accelerating workflow and reducing post-processing.
Dual Blue Laser Scanning Modes:
30-Line Cross Blue Laser Mode: Ideal for rapidly scanning large surface areas, including challenging surfaces like dark, reflective, or metallic objects, without the need for scanning spray.
Single-Line Blue Laser Mode: Provides up to 0.02mm precision, perfect for capturing intricate details, deep holes, crevices, and other complex features with high accuracy.
High Accuracy and Volumetric Precision:
Single-frame accuracy of up to 0.02mm.
Volumetric accuracy of the tracking system is 0.025mm + 0.04mm × L(m) (where L is the length of the object in meters), ensuring reliable measurements even for very large objects.
Large Tracking Area: The optical tracking base station has a 4-meter working distance and can cover a scanning area of up to 2.8 x 2.8 meters (2800 x 2800 mm), allowing for comprehensive scanning of large workpieces like vehicles or industrial machinery by repositioning the base station.
Automated Gimbal Calibration: Features an intelligent dual-axis gimbal calibration system that automatically calibrates the scanner in approximately 25 minutes, eliminating user errors common in manual calibration and improving efficiency by over 50%.
Fast Scanning Speed: Capable of capturing up to 1,500,000 points per second with a scanning frame rate of up to 60 FPS, ensuring rapid data acquisition.
Versatile Application: Designed for industrial applications such as:
Reverse Engineering: Capturing precise dimensions for parts like turbine blades or engine assemblies.
Quality Control & Inspection: Comparing scanned data (point cloud or mesh) to CAD models for dimensional analysis and GD&T (Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing).
Automotive: Scanning reflective metallic parts for repair, reproduction, or virtual fitting.
Art & Preservation: High-fidelity texture and geometry capture for archiving sculptures or historical artifacts.
Mold Casting: Precise scanning for mold production.
One-Piece Carbon Fiber Frame: The scanner's robust, lightweight carbon fiber frame ensures stability, consistent marker-free scanning, and durability against impacts or transportation, preventing errors from frame deformation.
Comprehensive Software:
Revo TrackIt Software (Free): A complete solution for scanning, editing, processing, and calibration.
Revo Measure Software (1-year free license for Kickstarter backers): Advanced 3D metrology software for detailed analysis, comparison to CAD models, and quality control.
Standalone Handheld Mode: The scanner can also be used independently without the optical tracking base station (though markers would then be required on the object in this mode), offering maximum flexibility for difficult-to-access features.
Robot 3D Scanning System (Optional): TrackIt can be integrated with an industrial-grade cobot for fully automated, repetitive scanning workflows, set up via intuitive "drag-to-teach" or CAD-to-path features.

The Idea
Concept: To democratize industrial-grade, high-accuracy 3D scanning by eliminating the most time-consuming and error-prone step – marker placement – through an innovative optical tracking system. The goal is to make professional 3D data acquisition faster, more precise, and more accessible for a wider range of users and applications.
Inspiration: Revopoint 3D, a global leader in 3D scanning solutions with a history of innovation (founded in 2014, over 100 patents), recognized the bottleneck that markers presented in high-efficiency workflows. Their mission with TrackIt is to streamline every stage of the 3D scanning process, from setup to post-processing, by combining their advanced optical tracking algorithms and blue laser technology with robust hardware, enabling users to focus more on design, prototyping, and analysis rather than tedious preparation.
