Revopoint MetroY Ultra 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 Revopoint MetroY Ultra (€1,200 to €3,000).
- According to the manufacturer, the Revopoint MetroY Ultra is more accurate (up to 0.015 mm instead of 0.03 mm). These are best-case values under laboratory conditions.
- The Revopoint POP 4 has the longer working distance (up to 800 mm instead of 400 mm), which makes it better suited to large objects.
- The Revopoint POP 4 is considerably lighter (286 g).
