Einstar Rockit Vs Creality Sermoon S1 Laser Scan

  • Accuracy & Detail-1 pts

    Last major difference is a slight striping visible on the back of the S1 scan.

  • Tracking, Speed & Ease of Use+1 pts

    It was quite noticeable that the S1 reached the target resolution way quicker (roughly factor 3) while scanning

Creality Sermoon S1 Vs Einstar Rockit Scanning A

  • Accuracy & Detail-1 pts

    there were quite a few floating artifacts around the object, which were difficult to clean up due to the lack of convenient editing tools.

  • Difficult Surfaces & Object Size-1 pts

    On black surface, the difference became more noticeable. The S1 struggled to capture complete data, leaving gaps in the scan.

Creality Sermoon S1 My Honest Experience After

  • Accuracy & Detail-1 pts

    Another issue I noticed: floating artifacts show up quite frequently in laser mode, which affects overall data cleanliness.

  • Difficult Surfaces & Object Size+1 pts

    However, it does perform quite well when scanning holes with the single laser line, which is a nice advantage in certain scenarios.

  • Tracking, Speed & Ease of Use0 pts

    Misalignment can easily force a full rescan, which is pretty time-consuming.

  • Software & Export-1 pts

    Multiple projects alignment can be error-prone and inconsistent.

    It's very complete. Uh, a little bit of the missing spot here. A little bit there. Some seam line uh from the low quality scan.

  • Difficult Surfaces & Object Size-5 pts

    for the Sermoon series, Sermoon S1 and the X1, the seven-line laser is cannot capture the bottom of the pocket. It has to be the single line.

  • Tracking, Speed & Ease of Use+5 pts

    because it has larger FOV and it can uh capture faster in the cross line mode.

    due to the spindler and anacases being polished quite to a mirror shine, I had to use um scale spray.

Creality Sermoon S1 My Honest Experience After

  • Accuracy & Detail+1 pts

    Scanning artifacts from laser reflection are common with most laser scanners. These are easy and fast to remove and are never a big issue.

  • Difficult Surfaces & Object Size0 pts

    Data quality is also a result of distance, laser brightness, and the object's surface.

  • Tracking, Speed & Ease of Use+1 pts

    My experience after having the Raptor and RaptorX is that the S1 provides better quality scans and is much faster.

  • Software & Export-1 pts

    The software can crash, but not often, and most other scan software crashes too.

Creality Sermoon S1 Review Test And Comparison

  • Accuracy & Detail-1 pts

    Based on various reviews out there, the Sermoon S1 matches the Raptors in laser scan quality (at best, although some users report more noise and striping in some cases), but does not exceed it, and, if anything, is slightly worse.

  • Difficult Surfaces & Object Size+1 pts

    Where the Sermoon S1 excels over the Raptors is scanning deep into holes

  • Tracking, Speed & Ease of Use+1 pts

    Where the Sermoon S1 excels over the Raptors is scanning deep into holes, NIR large-scale scans, and speed when plugged in (not through the wireless bridge).

    And what it'll do is it will just take these two parts and fuse them together automatically by recognizing similar geometry between the bump.
