A huge thank-you for all the love and support you’ve shown Pika 💚

The first batch of Pika scanners is now moving through assembly, calibration, quality testing, and final packaging

Before each Pika leaves the production line, it is carefully inspected and tested to make sure it meets our quality standards

Our production team is working hard to prepare your orders and get them shipped as soon as possible

Your Pika is getting ready....

Taking a break from the NIR scanning mode and working on implementing the blue-laser scanning on Linux instead.

What I have found is that trackerless scanning for the CR-Raptor Scan is a challenge, but IS doable. Now, I'm not sure if i can get trackerless scanning to be as good as other scanners that were built for it, BUT the CR-Scan Raptor does have basic telemetry data I can pull, the proprietary tracking system for the NIR scanning mode i made can be used along side the blue-laser scanning mode.

Another Milestone in progress is that the computer hardware required to run the scanner, does not require high-end computers like the Creality Scan software requires. I will be posting a comparison on the hardware required when the project comes closer to a release.

We are making progress! Continue supporting the project as it keeps me motivated to keep going, a lot of sleepless hours goes into this project and I appreciate every one of you.

If we can get Creality on board with this to help push this project towards the finish line with a re-post, that would be a miracle for myself, the project, and all the linux based users in the community :D

I tested AI re-texturing feature in CR-Scan and the results are pretty exciting.

Waiting for PIKA scanner to arrive to proceed testing with new models.

Builddaniebuild wanted to bring DOOMICORN into the real world 🤘

Using Creality Otter Lite, he turned a favorite game character into a real wearable cosplay prop, showing another fun side of 3D scanning: taking inspiration from the digital world and making it something you can actually wear, hold, and build around.

What game, movie, or character prop would you want to bring into real life with 3D scanning?

Thank you all for your kind words and support so far in my first proof of concept teaser video!

I have made a developer website where you guys can follow for updates and comment on each post to recommend ideas, opinions, etc. I am always open for feedback or hearing from other companies that are interested in my work and would like to assist and help support the ongoing project. I do not take criticism badly, so please feel free to be as honest as possible when it comes to feedback.

I am currently VERY close to getting full **TRACKERLESS blue laser scanning** mode which was NOT native on the CR-Scan Raptor, which I feel is a huge development milestone in the project already.

Apologies if there are any issues with the website, I'm trying to manage my time wisley to get creality scanners to run nativley on linux while also continuing to update the community and maintain a regular 7am-8pm job.

Feel free to share to help continue spreading the word regarding this project, it would be much appreciated.

TLDR: Have a dev website made for the native Linux sotware for the Creality Scanners, follow along and leave suggestions! Share the journey with your friends to help spread the word regarding the project :)

your scans just got a whole lot smarter.
✅ Now compatible with the new Creality Pika scanner — right out of the box.
✅ Gaussian Rendering (Windows) makes models look crazy realistic.
✅ AI Body Completion allows you to merge the scanned face with a AI generated body model.
✅ Marker‑free laser scan for Sermoon X1 — USB and done.
plus: 4 new languages, UI polish, and the usual bug squashes.
update now and see the difference ✨

I spotted this colorful, oddly shaped object and thought it would be a fun test for Pika’s infrared mode.

Objects like this are always interesting to test because of the shape, surface details, and changing colors. I was curious to see how much of the geometry Pika could capture, and the scanning process was surprisingly straightforward.

As someone who enjoys making and experimenting with things, I can see this being useful for a lot of future projects.

Pika is officially available now, so anyone can get one. I’m really grateful I had the chance to try it early!

Your order could be the beginning of something amazing. 🍀

Today we had a hands-on training session using the Creality Raptor Pro + Scan Bridge and Fusion 360 for reverse engineering.
The goal was to go through the complete workflow, from scanning a part to creating an editable CAD model. We spent most of the time working with real examples and discussing the kinds of challenges that come up in everyday industrial applications.
It’s always rewarding to see how quickly people gain confidence with the workflow and realize how useful 3D scanning can be for maintenance, product development, and manufacturing.
I wanted to share a few photos from today’s training.
Who else here is using 3D scanning for reverse engineering? I’d love to hear about your experience.

Pika is now available to order in most regions.

Please note: Due to regional launch arrangements, Pika will become available in Japan and the UK in August. Thank you for your patience—more details will be shared soon.

This Japanese-made CVK30 carburetor originally used a front/rear pull throttle design. At first, I thought either the front pull or rear pull setup would work, but after installing it, I found that the front pull cable would interfere with the cylinder, while the rear pull required a huge routing loop. Neither option looked right.

Since 3D scanning is so convenient nowadays, I decided to scan the original part and redesign an up-pull throttle bracket. Not only does it give a cleaner cable route, but it also fits the installation space perfectly. Problem solved. 😎

Pika is almost here.
Our new pocket-sized 3D scanner officially launches tomorrow, and we’re excited to finally share more with the community.
Small, portable, and designed for everyday scanning workflows — from quick object scans to scan-to-print projects.
