MetroX vs. MetroX Pro: What’s the Difference?

With the launch of the MetroX Pro 3D scanner, the latest addition to the MetroX family, you may be wondering what sets it apart from its predecessor, the MetroX. If so, read on, and let’s see what’s changed and what’s stayed the same.

 

MetroX Pro: What’s New?

150% Faster Cross-line Laser Scans

When your workflow demands maximum throughput, MetroX Pro keeps productivity high. With 30 cross-line lasers and a capture rate of 2 million points per second, it offers significantly faster scanning than MetroX's 14 lines.

Over 2X More Parallel Lines

Capture fine details, edges, and complex surfaces even faster with MetroX Pro’s 15 parallel lines compared to MetroX’s 7.

20% More Accuracy

Meet tighter tolerance requirements in high-accuracy applications with MetroX Pro’s 0.02 mm + 0.04 mm x L (m) volumetric accuracy. A 20% increase over the MetroX’s 0.025 mm + 0.05 mm x L (m).

PC-to-Mobile Streaming

Now compatible with the Revo Mirror app, you can fully control and stream scans from your PC to a mobile device, such as a phone or tablet, over your Wi-Fi network while using the MetroX Pro. Meaning you don’t need to hold your laptop or crane your neck to see your monitor when moving around larger workpieces.

What’s the Same for MetroX and MetroX Pro?

Full-field Structured Blue Light

Both scanners have identical full-field modes, enabling you to rapidly capture feature-rich objects without placing markers.

 

Auto Turntable Mode

Both let you effortlessly run fully automated scans with the Dual-axis Turntable, which automatically positions the object at multiple angles for complete surface coverage.

 

Color Scans

Capture color-accurate scans for added realism in Auto Turntable mode using the MetroX series HD RGB camera for vivid color reproduction.

Notes: 1. Precision measures how close repeated measurements of the same object at a single angle are. Accuracy measures how close a measured value is to the actual value. Both were obtained in a controlled lab environment, but actual results may vary based on the operating environment. 2. Class 2M Laser Safety Tips: (1) The product uses a Class 2M laser projector. Avoid looking directly at it at close range! Please refer to the Class 2M laser standard document for details. (2) To avoid retina damage, don't look directly into the laser beam through optical instruments capable of magnifying it (e.g., telescopes and camera lenses). (3) To prevent laser reflection, avoid placing reflective surfaces like mirrors or glass in the path of the laser beam. 3. This product has flashing lights, which may not be suitable for people with photosensitive epilepsy.   4. If you're unsure about the CPU configuration, please ensure that the CPU has cores≥8, threads≥16, and a base frequency ≥2.4GHz.

 

Should I Upgrade to MetroX Pro?

Yes, if you frequently scan items with your MetroX, the MetroX Pro’s faster scanning speeds represent a significant time savings in your workflow. However, if you only scan a few times a month, MetroX is still more than capable of meeting your scanning needs.
