Einstar 2 vs. Revopoint POP 4
Both 3D scanners compared directly. The higher accuracy according to the manufacturer (best values under laboratory conditions) is marked in green.
The key differences
- The Revopoint POP 4 is in a cheaper price class (€600 to €1,200) than the Einstar 2 (€1,200 to €3,000).
- There is no manufacturer figure for the accuracy of the Einstar 2.
- The Einstar 2 has the longer working distance (up to 1,400 mm instead of 800 mm), which makes it better suited to large objects.
- The Revopoint POP 4 is considerably lighter (286 g).
