MeshInspector vs Revo Scan 6

MeshInspector processes 3D data for mesh repair, scan transformation, and quality inspection in printing, simulation, and manufacturing workflows. It handles meshes, point clouds, volumetric data, lines, distance maps, and G-code, and supports model import and export. Tools include STL editing and repair, mesh conversion, inspection measurements, distance comparisons, segmentation, and CT/MRI scan inspection.

The free Community plan includes viewing, basic mesh and point-cloud editing, basic repair, and measurements. Makers costs $300 a year per user and adds one-click repair, advanced editing, basic inspection, and alignment tools. Professional costs $790 a year per user and adds batch repair, lattice generation, point-cloud and CT/MRI-to-mesh workflows, QC reports, advanced measurements, and Python automation. Its 30-day Professional trial does not require a credit card; afterward, the account moves to Community. Web files are processed and stored in browser local memory, while desktop files are handled and stored locally. The product describes workflows for engineers, service bureaus, dental labs, and scanning professionals.

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.
