01 — Assessment
What this scanner is really for
The easiest recommendation here for buyers who want to scan, review and process without carrying a computer.
The key is to read Up to 0.05 mm as a manufacturer’s best-case specification, not a guaranteed result on every surface. Calibration, object finish, tracking stability, markers and operator technique all affect usable geometry.

02 — Workflow
How it fits into a real scan job
MIRACO is an all-in-one NIR scanner with near and far depth cameras, onboard processing and an adjustable display. It is designed to move from capture to mesh without a separate computer in the scanning area.
Choose near or far camera mode
Set exposure and tracking method for the surface
Capture continuously or in single-shot mode
Fuse, mesh and review directly on the scanner
03 — Objects and surfaces
Where capture gets difficult
Infrared structured light suits people, art and feature-rich objects. It is less specialized for shiny metal and crisp mechanical edges than blue-laser scanners, so preparation is more likely on difficult parts.
04 — Tradeoffs
Pros and cons
What works
True all-in-one capture and processing
Near and far cameras
Large display and color capture
What to know
−Heavier than tethered handhelds
−No blue laser
−Costs more than general-purpose tethered models
05 — Specifications
Side of the box, translated
Specifications come from the linked manufacturer source and may vary by optical mode, software version and region.
06 — Software
Capture is only half the workflow
Scanning and processing happen on the device, with projects transferable to Revo Scan and common mesh formats. The 48 MP RGB camera is useful when color matters.
Mesh export is not the same as editable CAD. Reverse-engineering projects may still require surface reconstruction, dimensional constraints and verification in separate software.
07 — Value
Is it worth the price?
MIRACO earns its premium through workflow independence rather than the smallest claimed accuracy figure. It is a strong fit for field, museum, body and mixed-object capture.

Questions before buying
Does MIRACO need a computer?
No for capture and onboard processing. A computer can still be used for file transfer and additional work.
Is MIRACO good for reverse engineering?
It can provide meshes for reconstruction, but laser scanners are usually better for dark metal, sharp edges and small mechanical details.
