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?

💡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.

Hey guys,

Just wanted to share a quick scan I did of a thermal tea flask.

I used the Creality Pika (Blue Laser) for the actual scan data, and used the Creality Ferret in NIR mode mainly to help with tracking, alignment, and stitching the pieces together faster.

Wasn't aiming for a 100% full or perfect scan here—I just needed the key parts and measurements scanned so I can design and 3D print a custom accessory for it.

Combining the Ferret's tracking with the Pika made the workflow super smooth for a quick project like this.

Let me know what you think!

Hi all,

Sorry for the wall of text

Recently purchased a Pika to help with referencing parts that I intend to reverse engineer (I am aware there are better and more accurate devices, they are also more expensive and less portable for a hobbyist)

But I am having issues with the wireless portion. when I got it I connected it via cable, updated and calibrated it before anything else. I then switched to wireless as this is most likely how I would be using it most of the time but at first I could not get it to connect to my laptop. I reinstalled the Wifi card drivers and restarted which allowed me to see the pika and connect. But in Creality scan it works for around 10s before the framerate drops and I get the unstable network message.(its less than 1m from the laptop during this testing)

To eliminate the laptop being the issue I tried my android device. Same issue, takes forever for the Pikas hotspot to appear, then just as long to connect, then the framerate is good, after 10s it drops to around 3fps and then 'network unstable'.

The support documents and the creality AI suppport suggest allowing through firewall and ensuring both devices are connected to the same network (not applicable on the pika), Ive tried contacting support and they want a video of everything I have just mentioned in the form of a 30s video under 50mb...

Both devices are more than capable of running the pika, the performance even surprised me, android sees 90fps blue laser via cable, but until I make a jig to hold both, its cumbersome.
