Revopoint MIRACO review: a 3D scanner with a big screen and no strings
A standalone scanner with a 6-inch 2K touchscreen, onboard processing and two hours of battery. Great in the field, weaker on colour.
Very good
Best for Field scanning without a laptop, from small parts to furniture

Our verdict
The MIRACO is the friendliest standalone scanner we have researched: the 6-inch screen makes it obvious what you have captured, and it can process and export a printable STL without a computer. Colour texture is its weak spot, and fine details come out softer than on laser scanners. Buy it for geometry in the field, not for photoreal colour.
What we like
- 6-inch 2K touchscreen and onboard processing: no PC or phone needed
- Near and Far modes: objects from 10 mm up to 4 m
- Up to two hours of continuous scanning per charge
- Testers exported a manifold STL and printed it straight from the device
- Cheaper than the EINSTAR VEGA ($1,349 vs $1,599)
What could be better
- Colour texture rated “subpar”; reflective items show seams
- Fine details soften after meshing
- Onboard processing is slower than a fast desktop
- Some Mac owners report the scanner not mounting over USB

What is it?
Revopoint built its name on cheap, wired scanners like the POP series. The MIRACO is the opposite: a self-contained scanner with four cameras, a 6-inch 2K touchscreen, a battery good for up to two hours and enough onboard computing to fuse, mesh and export a model without a laptop. It is priced at $1,349 for the 16 GB version and $1,799 for the 32 GB MIRACO Pro.
Technical overview
- Light source: infrared structured light, four cameras.
- Accuracy: up to 0.05 mm single-frame, 0.05 mm point distance.
- Range: objects from a 10 mm cube to 4 m, using Near and Far modes.
- Speed: up to 15 fps.
Setup and first scans
There is almost nothing to set up, which is the point. 3DWithUs scanned a demo bust on a turntable in three passes, cleaned turntable noise directly on the screen and exported a 20 MB manifold STL that printed on a Bambu Lab X1-Carbon at 0.2 mm layers. Processing on the device “only took a few minutes”; a 2021 MacBook Pro M1 Max did it faster, but the device does not need one.
The same reviewer used Far mode on a chair and a stone wall, capturing both colour and geometry, and Near mode on part of a toy blaster.
What testers and owners complain about
- Colour. 3DWithUs rates colour texture as “subpar”. Matte objects (a felt avocado) looked clean; reflective items showed seams and tears in the texture.
- Soft fine detail. Sharp edges on the blaster softened during meshing, and small details on the printed bust were soft.
- Mac USB. Several owner reviews say the MIRACO Plus did not show up on a MacBook Pro for file transfer. Wi-Fi transfer is the workaround.
- Speed on device. Owners mention onboard processing is slow for big scans; offloading to a PC helps.
MIRACO vs the rivals
- vs EINSTAR VEGA ($1,599): the most direct rival. The VEGA reaches further in Fast mode and testers liked its handling on people and cars; the MIRACO has the bigger screen and costs $250 less. Full breakdown: VEGA vs MIRACO.
- vs Revopoint POP 3 Plus ($526): a third of the price, but needs a computer or phone. Reviewers recommend the MIRACO over the POP 3 Plus specifically for mobile use.
- vs EINSTAR Rockit ($1,519): better detail on mechanical parts thanks to blue lasers, but needs a strong PC.
Price and value
$1,349 is fair for a standalone scanner with a screen this good. The Pro’s extra memory helps with large scans, but most hobbyists will be fine with the base model. If you always scan next to a PC, a POP 3 Plus or EINSTAR 2 is better value.
Final thoughts
The MIRACO is the scanner that feels most like a camera: pick it up, scan, look at the screen, done. Its geometry is good enough for printing and reverse engineering, but do not buy it for colour. 3DWithUs scores it 4.5/5, and we agree it is one of the best ways to scan without a computer.
