Creality Pika 3D Scanner

The Creality Pika 3D Scanner is a compact device that uses 7 parallel blue laser lines and NIR structured light, allowing it to scan both small details and larger objects. It offers an accuracy of up to 0.03 mm, a 3D resolution ranging from 0.1 to 2 mm, and a scanning speed of up to 110 frames per second, and the supported object size range is from 10 × 10 × 10 mm to 2000 × 2000 × 2000 mm. Measuring 100 × 60 × 35 mm and weighing 260 g, the Pika is easy to carry, and its 3-inch touchscreen, Wi-Fi 6, and two interchangeable 3350 mAh batteries make it easy to work away from a fixed workstation. The scanner can connect wirelessly to Android and iOS smartphones as well as Windows and macOS computers; however, iOS devices do not support a wired connection.

When used with a computer, Pika achieves a speed of up to 110 fps in blue laser mode and up to 30 fps in NIR mode, allowing for efficient capture of successive surface segments as the scanner is moved. When used with a smartphone, the maximum speeds are 40 fps and 20 fps, respectively. The blue laser allows operation at light intensities of up to 110,000 lux, while NIR mode with the appropriate filter enables scanning under lighting conditions of up to 80,000 lux, minimizing the impact of intense light on the captured data.

With dimensions of 100 × 60 × 35 mm and a weight of just 260 g including the battery, the scanner can be comfortably operated with one or two hands and easily taken into the field. The kit includes two 3350 mAh replaceable batteries, so when one runs out, you can swap it out for a spare and continue working. The Pika also features a 3-inch touchscreen, an 8-core 2.0 GHz processor, Wi-Fi 6, and a USB Type-C / USB 3.0 interface.
