For Creality, 2023 has been a year filled with challenges and opportunities. We are excited to reflect on the past 12 months, witnessing the development of the Creality 3D Scanner and our continuous efforts in the field of 3D printing.
Here are the key milestones of our journey this year, showcasing the highlights of the Creality 3D Scanner:
April: Creality CR- Scan Ferret Launch
In April, Creality 3D Scanner introduced its latest product – CR-Scan Ferret. This compact device, is distinguished by its dual-light mode, which allows it to scan items of all sizes with ease. This release marks Creality’s breakthrough in the consumer-grade 3D scanner domain, lowering the threshold for using 3D scanners in terms of price and software applicability, and enabling more 3D printing enthusiasts, designers, and engineers to experience the convenience brought by 3D scanning.
Participate in the TCT Exhibition in the United States
Creality 3D scanner participated in the TCT exhibition in the United States this year. Engaging with industry-leading professionals and enthusiasts to explore the latest trends in 3D technology. They demonstrated the excellent performance of Ferret at this event, which not only honored us but also gained more recognition for our scanner technology.
September: German Autumn Conference – Ferret Pro Launch
After the successful launch of the Ferret scanner, we have been listening to and attaching great importance to the valuable feedback from users and are committed to continuously improving the user experience. Through in-depth research and development, at the German autumn launch conference, we grandly launched Ferret Pro, which is a new upgraded version of the Ferret series. Ferret Pro uses the most advanced WiFi6 high-speed wireless network, supporting connection to iPhones and a wide range of Android phone models. The transmission is stable, the data collection is smoother, and the mobile terminal can be operated freely. It introduces new anti-shake and 24-bit scanning features, improving scan success rates and presenting users with more realistic models.
October: ERRF and User Meetup in Maryland, USA
Traversing the globe, we met users face-to-face to share the innovation behind our products. At the ERRF and User Meetup in Maryland, USA, we engaged in in-depth discussions with our American fans. They highly praised our products and shared valuable user experiences.
November: Formnext Exhibition in Germany
Formnext is one of the world’s leading additive manufacturing exhibitions, where we showcase our latest technology and products. The remarkable performance of Ferret Pro earned enthusiastic praise from numerous users and media, who also experienced the scanner’s body scanning functionality. Additionally, we seized the opportunity to discuss future development trends with industry peers, sharing our vision. This exhibition experience provided us with a valuable opportunity to exchange ideas with industry leaders and gain a deeper understanding of the latest industry dynamics and future directions.
November: Australian Fan Sharefest
We held an Australian fan meeting with enthusiastic users in Australia. By displaying our products and technologies, we further consolidated the close relationship with users. We are encouraged by the enthusiastic response and positive interaction from users.
December: Ferret SE Release
As the year drew to a close, we launched Ferret SE, a new member of the Ferret series. Designed with simplicity in mind, Ferret SE is tailored for beginner users, prioritizing user experience and making it a very cost-effective scanner. Beginners can easily get started with simple computer operations and gradually transition to using the mobile app. We believe that Ferret SE will bring an easy and efficient 3D scanning experience to more people.
The continuous upgrade of the software
Another remarkable thing was that the software, CrealityScan, kept on optimizing. In May, the guide for 3D scanning beginners was published to help more newbie to use the 3D scanner, also, the engineers optimized the language. In June, CrealityScan could support the connection to the Mac M series chip. In July, the hardware of the CR-Scan ferret had a big upgrade that could support anti-shake tracking to realize stable tracking and improve the scanning success rate. At the same time, CrealityScan could support the connection to Mac Intel series chip. In August, the edit function was released and all users could directly edit the model in the software. In October, the CrealityScan could support importing historical projects for reprocessing. In November, the maker mode was online for Mac and Windows. In December, makermode for Android and iPhone iOS was online.
Our engineers have shown unwavering dedication to improving the user experience with our software. To maintain effective communication with our users, our engineers actively participate in the Creality 3D CR Scanner Official Group. This allows them to directly hear users’ feedback and suggestions, enabling them to promptly address any issues and continuously enhance the 3D scanning experience.
In 2023, Creality 3D scanner product line has been continuously updated, not only advancing 3D scanning technology, but also providing users with more diverse and more comprehensive 3D printing solutions. We appreciate the support of Creality Scanner users, and in 2024, we will continue to launch new scanner products to lower the barriers to entry, allowing more people to experience the joy of 3D scanning.
