Innovative Four-Lens Stereo Vision

One of the biggest advantages of the CR-Scan Otter is its four-lens optical system.

Instead of optimising the scanner for only small or large objects, Creality uses two sets of binocular lenses.

The long-focal lenses capture fine details on smaller components, while the short-focal lenses provide a wider field of view for larger objects.

This allows the Otter to comfortably handle applications ranging from:

• Small mechanical components
• Tools and replacement parts
• Sculptures
• Automotive components
• Motorcycle parts
• Furniture
• Human faces and bodies
• Large objects up to approximately 2 metres

Up to 0.02mm Accuracy

For detailed work, the Otter can achieve accuracy of up to 0.02mm at 60mm under Creality’s specified test conditions.

This makes it particularly useful for:

• Reverse engineering
• Reproducing replacement components
• Product development
• CAD modelling
• Dimensional reference
• 3D printing
• Digital preservation

Scan Small & Large Objects

The Otter is designed to scan objects ranging from approximately 10 × 10 × 10mm up to around 2000 × 2000 × 2000mm.

That broad working range means one scanner can be used for a small mechanical component in the morning and a vehicle panel or human body later in the day.

Scan Black & Metallic Objects

Traditional optical 3D scanners can struggle with dark or reflective surfaces.

The Otter’s infrared structured-light system is specifically designed to improve scanning performance on challenging objects, including many:

• Black components
• Tyres
• Automotive parts
• Dark plastics
• Metal components

In many situations these can be captured without applying scanning spray, reducing preparation and cleanup time.

Extremely reflective or transparent surfaces may still require surface preparation depending on the object and scanning conditions.

Full-Colour 3D Scanning

The CR-Scan Otter isn’t limited to capturing geometry.

Its colour camera and supplemental white LEDs allow the scanner to capture full-colour texture information, making it suitable for applications where appearance is just as important as shape.

This is particularly useful for:

• People and faces
• Artwork
• Sculptures
• Museum pieces
• Digital archiving
• Game development
• VR/AR content
• Character modelling

Face & Body Scanning

The Otter’s infrared technology makes it suitable for scanning people.

Class I eye-safe infrared illumination allows faces and bodies to be captured without exposing the subject to bright visible structured light.

This makes the Otter useful for applications such as personalised models, digital avatars, figurines, clothing applications and creative projects.

Smooth Handheld Scanning

The integrated IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit) helps the scanner understand its movement and orientation during handheld operation.

Combined with Creality’s One-Shot imaging technology, this improves tracking and helps reduce lost tracking when moving around larger objects.

Marker, Geometry & Texture Tracking

Different objects require different scanning techniques.

The CR-Scan Otter supports:

• Geometry alignment
• Marker alignment
• Texture alignment

Eight infrared LEDs also improve marker recognition when markers are required for difficult or repetitive surfaces.

CrealityScan Software

The Otter works with CrealityScan, Creality’s dedicated 3D scanning software.

The software handles the workflow from initial data capture through point-cloud processing, alignment, meshing and model preparation.

Completed scans can be exported in commonly used formats including:

• STL
• OBJ
• PLY

This makes scanned models suitable for further work in CAD, reverse-engineering, modelling and 3D-printing software.

Why Choose the Creality CR-Scan Otter?

The CR-Scan Otter stands out because you don’t have to choose between a scanner designed for small objects and one intended for large objects.

Its four-lens system gives it the flexibility to capture small detailed components, medium-sized parts and large objects with the same scanner.

Add up to 0.02mm accuracy, full-colour capture, black/metal object scanning, face and body capability and multiple tracking modes, and the Otter becomes an excellent all-round scanner for professional users as well as serious makers.

For customers doing reverse engineering, automotive work and 3D printing, it offers a particularly attractive balance between accuracy, versatility and price.
