# 3D Scanner The 3D scanner is a great tool to scan real-life objects and produce .OBJ (printable) files, or textured .OBJ files that can be used in animations and video game development.\ \ Our main 3D scanner is a Revopoint Pop 3. This is a consumer grade scanner that can scan most handheld objects well using camera technology. However, this means it cannot scan black objects or reflective ones (IE: metal). We also have a Pop 2 scanner as a backup. **You will need the** [**Revo Scan**](https://www.revopoint3d.com/pages/support-download) **application on your personal PC to use the 3D Scanner.** {% hint style="info" %} This page is still under progress, but this video outlines how to use the 3D scanner for basic applications. Note there is a new Revo Scan 6 app as of 2026, but the functions are exactly the same. {% endhint %} {% embed url="" %} 3D Scanner Training Video {% endembed %} --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
