Creality Pika reverse-engineering test
A 24-minute Pika workflow covering calibration, resolution, repeatability, scale, texture, NIR, global-marker alignment, an automotive part and mobile capture

Complete the workflow in order
- 01
Calibrate before comparing results
Complete the board sequence shown from 3:16 and save the result before changing objects, devices or scan modes
- 02
Begin with one controlled laser pass
Use a small rigid part, stable markers and an even capture path so a first result can reveal tracking or setup problems
- 03
Check repeatability and scale separately
Repeat a short scan without changing the setup, compare common geometry and then measure a known feature in the exported model
- 04
Use NIR when the object supports feature tracking
Switch to NIR for markerless or textured capture only when the surface and geometry provide enough stable information
- 05
Plan global markers for thin shells
Build a rigid marker field around sheet-like or automotive parts so front and rear passes share a stable reference
- 06
Recheck performance on the mobile device
Confirm connection, frame rate, device temperature and available storage instead of assuming the PC result transfers unchanged to a phone
Do not stop at a green button
Check the result before relying on it
Calibration completes without a warning
Repeated passes align without doubled edges
A known dimension is checked in the export
Mobile capture remains stable for the planned object size
