Technology & Products
Key Products
3D scanners: POP 3 Plus, MINI 2, RANGE 2, INSPIRE 2, MIRACO/MIRACO Plus (all-in-one), MetroX/MetroY series (industrial), Trackit (optical tracking); Industrial 3D cameras: Surface Pro series, Tracer P2 welding vision system; Metrohub robot 3D scanning system; Software: Revo Scan, Revo Design, Revo Measure
Technological Advantage
Full-stack in-house technology: self-developed micro-structured light chips (微纳光学芯片), proprietary 3D imaging algorithms, and complete "optical, mechanical, electrical, software, control" vertical integration. Over 140 patents. Products sold to 150+ countries with 200,000+ units shipped globally.
Differentiation
Value Proposition
Self-developed micro-structured optical chips and 3D imaging algorithms enable high-precision 3D scanning at a fraction of the cost of traditional industrial-grade scanners, making 3D scanning accessible to both industrial and consumer markets
How They Differentiate
Unlike Shining 3D and Scantech which focus primarily on industrial/metrology-grade scanning, Chishine pioneered affordable consumer/prosumer 3D scanners using self-developed micro-nano optical chips, achieving cost reduction to ~1/10th of comparable products. Strong global DTC/e-commerce presence (Kickstarter, Amazon) vs. competitors' traditional B2B channels.
