Overview of Creality CR Scan
3D scanners have long been used in a variety of professional fields to create digital models of three-dimensional objects. But hobbyists are now able to get their hands on 3D scanners and use them for a variety of purposes, from creating digital replicas of physical objects to designing new parts for old ones.
We all know Creality as a company that specializes in 3D printing and has dominated the desktop 3d printing market for a while, but they’re not just sitting back and waiting for customers. Creality released the mid-range “CR-Scan 01” 2021 which was met with warm welcomes from users and The newly released CR-Scan Lizard that is launched at kickstarter at 10th Feb.

Feature
High Accuracy: Creality’s CR Scan lizard brings professional-grade accuracy to the budget market.

Multi Scan Mode: It comes with 2 scanning mode, Table mode and Hand mode. Table mode is a great choice for scanning 15 – 300 mm objects, the scanner is fixed by a tripod, and you can only adjust height of scanner to scan the obejct on the turntable.
For hand mode, you can scan and move your scanner wherever you want in order to scan whole object, it is suitable for scanning large objects up to 2 meters in size, such as the car parts mentioned above.

With its multi-spectral optical technology, the Creality LizardScanner maintains excellent performance even in bright sunlight — which would vastly improve its field of application. The scanner can also be powered by a portable charger so you could go out there and scan whatever your heart desires without fear for wasted battery life or poor light conditions!
No Marker Scanning
CR-Scan Lizard offers an intelligent algorithm that makes 3D scanning as easy and straightforward like taking a video. It’s great for capturing fine details on large parts, such as engine hoods or car doors without needing to stick markers onto your object first!
One Click Uploading Share
When you connect CR Studio with Creality Cloud, the 3D model can be uploaded to their database (Creality Cloud) in just one click.
