Revopoint POP 4 review: blue laser and infrared in one $755 scanner
Revopoint’s newest POP combines 30 blue laser lines, a deep-hole single line and infrared structured light, works wirelessly for up to 4 hours and copes with sunlight. Versatile, with a learning curve.

Our verdict
The POP 4 is the most versatile scanner under $1,000 we have covered: blue lasers for dark and detailed parts, infrared for bodies and big objects, a single line for deep holes, and a battery grip for wireless scanning. 3DWithUs scored it 4.5/5. Choosing the right mode takes practice, and tiny thin parts are still hard, but for most makers it is now the Revopoint to buy.
What we like
- Hybrid: 30 crossed blue laser lines, single deep-hole line, infrared and VCSEL modes
- Single-frame accuracy up to 0.03 mm in laser mode
- Up to 105 fps in multi-line laser mode
- Wireless for up to 4 hours with the 5,500 mAh battery grip
- Rated for outdoor use in direct light up to 100,000 lux
What could be better
- Learning curve: you choose a mode before every scan
- Tiny, thin parts (like propeller blade edges) stay rough
- Dark or shiny surfaces can still need spray
- Mesh cleanup takes time; reverse engineering still needs CAD

What is it?
The POP series has always been Revopoint’s affordable all-rounder. The POP 4 is the biggest jump yet: instead of infrared only, it combines 30 crossed blue laser lines, a single blue line for deep holes, and infrared structured light for bodies and larger objects. A battery grip makes it wireless for up to four hours.
The Standard Edition costs $755 and the Premium Edition $872 on the official store at the time of writing.
Technical overview
- Accuracy: up to 0.03 mm single-frame in laser mode; volumetric 0.03 mm + 0.05 mm per metre.
- Speed: up to 105 fps in multi-line laser mode.
- Working distance: 200–400 mm in blue laser modes, wider in infrared modes.
- Outdoors: rated for direct light up to 100,000 lux.
- Software: Revo Scan 6, with a mode picker before each scan and AI object segmentation. Scans from different modes can be aligned afterwards.
- Extras: 3D Gaussian Splatting (.splat) export for photoreal captures.
Real-world scanning
3DWithUs published the most detailed test (May 2026, updated October 2026):
- A bare foot, handheld and wireless: the top of the foot came out well; the sole was filled into a curved surface, so not a true replica. The reviewer printed it on a Snapmaker U1 and tried it as a shoe stretcher, with limited success.
- A foot in a patterned sock (Color Full-Field HD): the sock’s pattern and colours were captured well.
- A broken RC boat propeller (tiny, thin, black): single-line blue laser captured the black part unsprayed; a sprayed version was cleaner. Marker blocks helped tracking. The hub, centre hole and blade count were right, but the thin blade edges stayed rough, so the reviewer would use it as a reference, not a print-ready part.
What testers complain about
- Mode choice. Powerful, but you need to learn which mode suits which object.
- Tiny thin parts remain very hard.
- Spray may still be needed on dark or shiny surfaces.
- Cleanup and CAD. For reverse engineering you still need calipers and CAD.
POP 4 vs the rivals
- vs EINSTAR Rockit ($1,519): 3DWithUs calls the Rockit more capable, at twice the price. See POP 4 vs Rockit.
- vs Revopoint POP 3 Plus ($526): the POP 3 Plus is infrared-only. The POP 4’s blue lasers and wireless grip are worth the extra for dark and mechanical parts.
- vs Revopoint INSPIRE 2 ($439): better for lightweight, simple jobs.
- vs Creality Pika: also blue laser plus infrared, in Creality’s ecosystem.
Price and value
At $755 the POP 4 gives you most of what a $1,500 scanner does. The Premium Edition adds the accessories that make wireless and outdoor work practical.
Final thoughts
The POP 4 is the new default recommendation in Revopoint’s range: one scanner for feet, figures, car parts and holes. Spend an evening learning the modes and it will cover almost everything a hobbyist scans.
