Creaform.OS vs Revo Scan 6

Creaform.OS is integrated operating software supplied with Creaform 3D measuring and scanning devices. It supports Creaform scanners, optical CMMs, and probe or photogrammetry workflows, with real-time capture, mesh reconstruction, and exports to IGES, STEP, and DXF on Windows 11. Its interface, embedded content, tools, and tutorials are intended to help users learn scanners and optical CMMs. The Metrology Suite adds Scan-to-CAD, Inspection, Automation, and Dynamic Tracking modules. Scan-to-CAD extracts features and supports CAD modeling from scan data for product development, reverse engineering, and additive manufacturing. Inspection handles dimensional quality checks. Automation provides a digital-twin environment for automated measurement and quality control. Dynamic Tracking measures multiple objects’ positions and orientations over time for assembly monitoring and robot calibration. Creaform.OS Viewer is a free download for viewing meshes, inspection programs, and results. The main software is paid with pricing on request.

Revo Scan 6 is free software for capturing and processing scans from Revopoint 3D scanners. Its workflow moves through scanning, fusing, editing, and exporting, with tools for point clouds and meshes. Editing includes noise removal, hole filling, smoothing, and model repositioning; users can also align and merge scans and map RGB camera color data onto meshes. Output formats include PLY, OBJ, STL, ASC, 3MF, GLTF, FBX, and Splat. The software is listed for Windows, macOS, Android, and iOS, though Windows requires x86_64 and macOS requires ARM 64 architecture. Compatible scanners vary by platform and include models from the POP, MINI, RANGE, INSPIRE, and MIRACO families. AI object segmentation and tracking, 3D Gaussian Splatting, and GPU-accelerated fusion are listed for POP 4 and INSPIRE 2 only; GPU fusion is also restricted to specified GPU models. Revopoint describes the software for 3D modeling, reverse engineering, CAD design, product development, and 3D printing workflows.
