ELEGOO M1 Ultra vs. Revopoint MIRACO Plus
Both 3D scanners compared directly. The higher accuracy according to the manufacturer (best values under laboratory conditions) is marked in green.
The key differences
- Both are in the same price class, but the ELEGOO M1 Ultra is cheaper (from €1,599 instead of from €2,134).
- Technology: the ELEGOO M1 Ultra has a laser mode (Blue laser + infrared), the Revopoint MIRACO Plus works without a laser (Infrared). Laser usually captures fine detail and shiny parts better, while infrared and structured light are well suited to people and large objects.
- According to the manufacturer, the ELEGOO M1 Ultra is more accurate (up to 0.02 mm instead of 0.04 mm). These are best-case values under laboratory conditions.
- Only the Revopoint MIRACO Plus can be used entirely without a PC or smartphone.
- The ELEGOO M1 Ultra is considerably lighter (511 g).
