CREALITY / FIELD SALES WORKBENCH
From the object,
to the right scan
A practical conversation starter for scanner sales. Choose an application and build a workflow worth demonstrating.
02 / RECOMMENDED FOR A TRIAL
AutomotiveCR-Scan Raptor
Blue laser suits mechanical edges and details; markers help tracking on low-feature surfaces.
SETUP / PREPARATION
Distance & capture
Blue laser: 150–400 mm; NIR: 170–1000 mm.
Calibrate → apply markers → capture coverage → detail passes → inspect alignment.
COMPUTER / WORKSTATION
Leave processing headroom
Suggested demo workstation: modern high-performance i7 / Ryzen 7, 32 GB RAM, 1 TB SSD; consider 64 GB for large multi-pass work.
Planning guidance, not official minimums or a compatibility guarantee. Verify GPU, OS and software version for the exact model.Official compatibility guide ↗TRIAL / WHAT TO VALIDATE
Demonstrate the difficult parts
- Check continuous tracking, repeat alignment and complete edges.
- Compare the raw mesh with the processed result so smoothing does not hide defects.
- Agree STL / OBJ / PLY versus editable CAD; scan-to-CAD needs additional modeling.
CASE / TYPICAL WORKFLOW
