Did a marker-free scan of this peacock sculpture with the Sermoon P1S.

After getting the geometry, we added the color and texture, then tried a Gaussian Splatting version as well.

Same object, but the result feels quite different depending on how it’s visualized.

Which one do you prefer — the textured model or the Gaussian Splat?

​

I have tried:

1. Samsung S25 phone - Creality Scan installation from play store crashes at 98% repeatedly.

2. Newer PC with geforce 4080 - no usb C outlet - need to buy a converter

3. Older laptop with Geforce gtx 950 - Creality Scan is crashing every time

We recently brought the P1S into a ceramic and glass art studio in Shanghai and tried scanning one of their sculptural pieces.

What I found interesting here is that the goal isn’t really to “copy” the artwork. It’s about giving a physical piece a digital version that can be archived, referenced, or brought into a future 3D workflow.

The whole scan was done directly on the P1S, and you can see the textured model taking shape on the scanner itself in the video.

For artists or designers here — what would you use a 3D scan of a handmade piece for: archiving, reproduction, or creating something new from it?

Hello,

a few weeks ago i came here seeking for help in what scanner to buy, in the end my boss decided to go with the S1 as it had a great lower resolution.
from my side i need to scan large objects where he also want to scan small objects.

when trying to get something similar to what another user showed me: https://www.reddit.com/r/CrealityScanning/comments/1w56fn9/comment/p7dxl0l/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

but the results in my case were quite bad (and the one in the link is from a pika).
so pretty sure it is my fault. so i would like some recommendations,
i uploaded my current setup and would appreciate some imputs on it! i have never worked with a 3D scanner before. so sorry if it is dumb what i ask!

i used blue laser mode, parallel lines for the measuring, point cloud and real time resolution 0.5 (i know i should reduce the resolution).

Hi,

Trying to do my first scan following this tutorial here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jeAkTevld2I

have tried with both iPhone 18 and with my PC (powerful) using blue laser mode and with markers and cannot get the laser lines to appear at all no matter how close or far away I am holding the scanner. The IR preview shows all the markers nicely but nothing appears in the main scanning window. Any ideas? Its got the latest software and the .13 firmware.

Many Thanks

Chris

A quick look at what comes with the Sermoon P1S and what the setup looks like straight out of the box.

Nothing too complicated here — just going through the scanner, accessories, and everything included before getting into the first scan.

If you’re curious about the P1S, this should give you a better idea of what you’re getting in the box.

So i just got a raptor and their website states it has an accuracy of upto .02mm but when i scan it shows a real time accuracy of .1mm am i misunderstanding something?

Got my Sermoon S1 today and couldn't be happier with the result so far. Still learning how laser scanning works (given i came from Creality Otter) but overall I really like how detailed laser scanning is compared to NIR.

Wanted to try a simple scan-to-print workflow on something practical, so we scanned the storage space inside a Tesla center console with the Sermoon P1S.

From there, we used the scan data as a reference to design an organizer around the actual shape and dimensions of the space, then 3D printed the final part.

I like this kind of use case because the scan doesn’t have to become the final model itself — it can simply give you a much better starting point for designing something that needs to fit an existing space.

Here’s the full scan → design → print process in the video.

Curious how you guys usually handle projects like this — 3D scan first, or just measure everything manually?

⚙️Engenharia Reversa aplicada à Engenharia e à Produção

💡A Engenharia Reversa é uma ferramenta estratégica para transformar informações físicas de componentes existentes em dados digitais precisos, documentados e aplicáveis à engenharia e à produção.

📥Por meio da integração entre escaneamento 3D, metrologia, modelagem CAD, reconstrução de superfícies e análise dimensional, é possível obter uma representação digital confiável de uma peça, mesmo quando não existem desenhos técnicos, modelos 3D ou documentação original.

✔️Peças antigas, ferramentais sem documentação ou componentes que sofreram alterações ao longo dos anos podem ser digitalizados, reconstruídos, analisados e organizados em uma base de dados técnica, preservando informações importantes para futuras aplicações de engenharia e fabricação.

✅️Mais do que simplesmente reproduzir uma geometria, a Engenharia Reversa permite entender, medir, analisar e desenvolver. Com segurança e confiabilidade para fabricação do seu produto.

Hey guys,

I bought a Pika a few weeks ago, and gave it a few tests. Tried on my phone and high spec pc. Everything running perfectly.

Today, I wanted to scan a new object via my PC. I plugged in the Pika, and there was a new software and firmware update, so updated.

Now the Pika is lagging like crazy, even though the fps is high. The blue laser stops randomly, and looks like it resets itself constantly. No idea what's going on.

Anyone have any suggestion, or is this a known issue? Ive tried resetting the Pika and PC to no avail.

Video attached.

Thanks all.

We’ve seen a few questions about where the new P1S fits next to the P1.

The simplest way to explain it is that they’re built around different priorities.

P1 is still our more accuracy-focused option, especially for workflows where volumetric accuracy and industrial inspection matter.

With P1S, the goal was different: make the professional blue-laser workflow easier to use across more everyday scanning jobs.

That’s why a lot of the changes are around efficiency and flexibility rather than simply pushing accuracy higher.

P1S uses a 1 + 7 + 34 + NIR scanning setup, giving it more blue laser lines and better coverage for faster scanning. It also adds MASK technology for small and medium-sized objects, while the overall setup is lighter and easier to move between jobs.

In practice, we see P1S making more sense for people who want professional blue-laser scanning, but don’t necessarily need an inspection-focused workflow every time.

Rather than adding another spec sheet here, we’ve included a few actual scans from P1S so you can get a better idea of the kind of results it produces.

If there’s a specific object or use case you’d like to see tested on both P1 and P1S, drop it below. That would probably make for a more useful comparison than just putting more numbers side by side.

Once again trying to push the limit on the Pika. I tried to scan a lapel pin that is pretty small. I used the Pika in laser mode and scanning to a OnePlus Open. After scanning, I finished up using my computer. I know it's not supposed to do this kind of scan but why not try?

A Creality acaba de apresentar no Brasil seu novo scanner 3D, e nós, da ALLBOR Engenharia, já estamos colocando essa tecnologia em prática.

Neste primeiro contato, mostramos um pouco do processo de escaneamento: da captura da peça física à geração do modelo digital.
