Billed as the world’s first AI-powered, high-precision, and versatile 3D scanner, the POP 4 brings real-time AI segmentation and 3D Gaussian Splatting to a hybrid blue-laser-and-infrared platform. As the newest and most advanced member of the POP series, the POP 4 is built to handle everything from intricate geometries to larger workpieces, including black and shiny surfaces that previous POP models couldn’t capture directly — no scanning spray or markers required.
The Revopoint POP 4 Kickstarter campaign is now live, with early-backer pricing and bundle details available here.
For 3D makers and artists, the POP 4 fits naturally into existing workflows. Users can scan a broken bracket to reprint it, capture an existing part for modification, or create a reference shape for a new design. The exported mesh goes straight into a slicer without requiring extensive CAD cleanup, making the POP 4 feel less like a standalone metrology tool and more like a seamless extension of how makers already work.
Real-time AI object segmentation
It is not uncommon for 3D scanning specialists to spend more time on manual trimming than on the scan itself. The POP 4 provides a solid solution with AI-powered object segmentation that identifies the target object in real time and filters out unwanted data such as desks or background elements during capture. Even the operator’s own fingers are excluded from the model when holding the part directly while scanning.
3D Gaussian Splatting anchored to accurate geometry
Most 3DGS captures today come from phone video or DSLR footage — visually impressive, but with geometry underneath that is often unreliable. The POP 4 flips that approach. Splats are built on top of a structured-light scan with up to 0.03 mm accuracy, making the visual result spatially measurable as well.
The outcome is photorealism with translucency, reflections, and view-dependent highlights, without sacrificing dimensional reliability. For rapid prototyping, realistic AR scene capture, or replacing days of manual modeling, it offers a different starting point from current 3DGS pipelines.
A multi-mode scanning system for indoor and outdoor work
The POP 4 integrates blue multi-line laser, near-infrared full-field structured light, and VCSEL structured light into a unified platform. Its five scanning modes are designed to cover most indoor and outdoor scenarios.
Full-Field HD is tuned for detailed point cloud capture at up to 5M points/s (depending on the PC-hardware), while VCSEL Rapid prioritizes fast capture at up to 30 fps and remains stable in direct sunlight up to 100,000 lux. Hybrid HD combines both modes for accurate surface modeling with stable tracking. The 30 cross-laser lines mode is designed for shiny and dark surfaces at up to 2M points/s, while the single-line mode is built for deep holes, crevices, and grilles.
Precision, speed, and scale
In multi-line laser mode, the POP 4 reaches volumetric accuracy of 0.03 mm + 0.05 mm × L (m), with a fused point distance of up to 0.05 mm and single-frame accuracy of 0.03 mm. Scan speeds can reach up to 105 fps, depending on system configuration.
Its working distance ranges from 200 mm to 800 mm depending on the selected mode, supporting close-range blue-laser scanning at 200 mm and larger-area VCSEL scans at distances up to 800 mm.
Outdoor operation is supported in lighting conditions up to 100,000 lux. Detailed blue-laser scans can operate at the full 100,000 lux using the Outdoor Blue Filter included with the KS Special Edition and Software Bundle Rewards. Without the filter, blue-laser scanning supports lighting conditions up to 50,000 lux.
Wireless operation and integrated workflow
The POP 4 is designed for wireless scanning via mobile phones or tablets, powered by the included 5500 mAh battery grip (Premium Edition) that delivers roughly four hours of mobile use.
Data captured in Revo Scan can be transferred with one click into Revo Measure for measurement and inspection tasks or into Revo Design for reverse engineering workflows. Together, the hardware and software workflow positions the POP 4 as more than just a scanning device, but a connected 3D creation ecosystem built for design, prototyping, and reverse engineering workflows.
Pricing and availability
The Revopoint POP 4 launches on Kickstarter on May 7 with introductory pricing offering up to 30% off for early backers. With an MSRP of $919, the POP 4 positions itself as a capability-focused scanner built around hybrid laser-and-infrared optics, real-time AI segmentation, and 3DGS export. Kickstarter pricing tiers and bundle details are available on the campaign page, where backers can also secure early access to the POP 4.
