[3D Scanning] Unboxing the Creality Raptor Pro 3D Scanner

Creality's Raptor Pro makes industrial-grade 3D scanning easier than ever before, combining impressive detail with surprising ease of use.
Importing real objects into computers and using them for 3D software, game development, and even 3D printing was something that only a few people could do in the past because the technology to achieve it was very expensive.

But by 2025, this technology will be easier to adopt than ever before.
Creality, a company known for its 3D printers, laser cutters, and other maker technologies, is leading this trend with its new Creality Raptor Pro 3D scanner.

Ready to use right out of the box

The Raptor Pro's hard-shell box contains the scanner, instruction manual, calibration card, USB cable, power cord, and a set of scan points for marking the objects to be scanned.
The packaging is excellent, containing everything you need to begin your scanning journey, and the overall feel is very solid and well-made.

The Creality CR-Scan Raptor Pro is an impressive tech product that feels much more expensive than its actual price suggests.
This scanner is a handheld, dual-mode device that offers metrological accuracy at an affordable price, making it suitable for small studios or independent creators.

It integrates a 22-line cross-shaped blue laser array, a 7-line parallel laser mode, and a near-infrared structured light pipeline.
This device can scan a wide range of objects, from finger-sized parts to entire vehicles, with an accuracy of up to 0.02 millimeters and a working range from 5 millimeters to 4000 millimeters.
In practical use, it is powerful and fast, and can clearly capture details on hard surfaces.
Its performance is impressive, and once you start setting it up and calibrating, you'll quickly discover the immense potential of a 3D scanner like the Raptor Pro.

High speed and high fidelity
Creality positions the Raptor Pro as a high-speed, high-fidelity device, offering a scan speed of 660,000 pts/s in laser mode, up to 60 fps, and 24-bit color capture in NIR mode.
It also has a volumetric accuracy of 0.02 mm + 0.08 mm/m.

For its class of devices, it is very easy to use, and it usually maintains a consistent level of detail capture and speed, provided that the scanning mode and scene settings are perfectly matched to the task.
Although this scanner offers two object capture modes, the blue laser lines are the real highlight.
It can read dull metal and black plastic without splattering, and can reveal scratches and abrasions in detail that consumer-grade structured light devices cannot match.

Equipped with a near-infrared (NIR) light source, the Raptor Pro boasts fast speed and accurate color capture, making it the preferred choice for creators working with large indoor spaces or vehicle parts, as speed and environmental texture are key to maintaining tracking.
In blue laser mode, whether using 22 intersecting lines (for wider coverage) or 7 parallel lines (for the highest precision), the Raptor Pro focuses on scanning precision and tolerance-sensitive components.
The level of texture and color captured by Raptor Pro is impressive, making it extremely useful for indie game designers looking to enhance asset quality and improve the overall polish of a project, as well as for filmmakers or 3D artists.

If you want to use the blue laser mode, you need to use a marker sticker.
Although the software can automatically remove them from the grid, placement and cleanup both take time.
For small and medium-sized parts with high tolerance requirements, the improvement in edge quality and surface precision is obvious.

For large scanning or mixed surface scenarios, near-infrared mode can maintain scanning speed and provide color capture without marking, although it is not as good as blue laser in terms of fidelity for fine geometry.
The Raptor Pro maintains excellent tracking capabilities when markers are carefully placed.

High cost-performance ratio
The functionality and performance of this device are truly surprising.
The Raptor Pro has a suggested retail price of 75,600 yuan, which is neither expensive nor cheap, but it strikes a balance between high-end professional tools and consumer-oriented products that often feel limited in functionality.
Just a few years ago, you would have had to pay much more for something similar; by today's professional-grade standards, you would have had to pay more than twice as much.

It is gratifying to see such technology being widely adopted, inspiring new creators and makers to push boundaries they thought were impossible just a few years ago.
It's worth noting that the Raptor Pro is priced lower than Creality's own high-end products, while offering 24% faster speeds than the original Raptor and maintaining the same accuracy.

This makes it particularly attractive to independent manufacturers, role-players, digital artists, and service agencies that need reliable capture without the need for enterprise-level costs.
Its features include the ability to scan black or ferrous surfaces without painting and an extended near-infrared working range of 4,000 mm, which allows it to capture automotive parts and fixtures without complicated preparations while still maintaining an impressive level of detail.
For anyone who needs to perform sharpened edge scanning on mechanical parts, or scan for game development or even 3D printing, Raptor Pro's Blue Laser mode delivers the fidelity promised on the spec sheet and can complete the task quickly when the scene is set up correctly, marked, and overlapped.
For larger scenes, indoor scenes, and full panels, the markerless workflow and color capture of NIR mode help maintain smoothness and reduce preparation work.
