Creality CR-Scan 01 with Turntable

Creality CR-Scan 01 - An affordable scanner for discovering 3D scanning

Creality the CR-Scan 01 is a well-built scanner that's perfect for discovering this technology. It allows you to scan quickly and accurately (0.1mm). The CR-Scan 01 from Creality is priced at under €1,000, which makes it attractive compared with professional scanners that often cost several thousand euros.

Of course, this Creality CR-Scan 01 scanner is highly upgradeable, so you'll be able to get to grips with it in just a few minutes. This is thanks in particular to its rotary table, which lets you scan parts very quickly.

Structured light technology in the CR-Scan 01 from Creality

The Creality CR-Scan 01 3D scanner is a structured light scanner. In other words, your CR-Scan 01 projects a powerful beam of light onto a surface. This beam contains a pattern (often in the form of a grid) that the scanner knows and can recognise.

This pattern is then analysed by the scanner's camera via triangulation. The software then calculates the shape it is scanning and reproduces it on your screen.

This technology is widely used on professional scanners as a complement to laser scanning. This structured light technology enables parts to bescanned more quickly. We recommend using a 3D scanner spray if you want to improve the quality of your scans.

Two scan modes with the CR-Scan 01

This 3D scanner Creality CR-Scan 01 is supplied with its turntable, but you can use it manually by simply holding the scanner in your hand.

Turntable

The turntable supplied with the CR-Scan 01 from Creality lets you scan your object without touching it. You can place your workpiece directly on the turntable, which is connected to your scanner. When you start scanning, the turntable will rotate automatically to give you a perfect 360° scan of your part.

Manual mode

Manual mode allows you to scan large objects and, above all, to be free to choose the objects you wish to scan. It's up to you to move the scanner by hand. Scanning a manual object without using the flatbed is more complex and will require patience to achieve a very good result.

The advantages of this scanner Creality CR-Scan 01

This small 3D scanner from Creality offers many advantages and interesting features for an entry-level 3D scanner. It will enable you to scan small and large parts with reasonable accuracy (0.1 mm) and be versatile thanks to its technology based on structured light.

High accuracy of 0.1 mm

The Creality CR-Scan 01 scanner promises maximum accuracy of 0.1 mm on both small and large objects.

Alignment and recognition of scanned parts

Scan your parts from several angles with the CR-Scan 01 3D scanner and the software will automatically assemble them for you. This increases the level of detail and accuracy of your model.

Colour recognition

Your Creality CR-Scan 01 3D scanner recognises the colours of your object. The colours of the part are then displayed directly in the software.

Post-processing integrated into the software

The scanning software from Creality supplied with your CR-Scan 01 scanner allows you to carry out post-processing once your part has been scanned. Holes can be filled, noise removed, colours enhanced and other repairs or modifications made.

Management of lighting environments

You can adapt your Creality CR-Scan 01 scanner to the brightness of the environment in which you are scanning. It adapts to the environment to make your room a success, whether it's the middle of the day or the middle of the night.

Print your objects directly after scanning

Once scanned, you'll find your 3D scanned parts directly in the software supplied with your CR-Scan 01 scanner. This will allow you to carry out post-processing operations to retouch your part.

Once all the post-processing steps have been completed, you can export your object. You can choose to export it in OBJ format (which can be used in other 3D software) or in STL format.

If you export it in STL, you can then import the part directly into your favourite slicer. Start 3D printing the object you scanned a few minutes earlier.
