Revopoint Magnetic Markers 208 pcs. — magnetic reference targets for 3D scanning and photogrammetry

Revopoint Magnetic Markers (208 pcs.) are reusable coded reference targets designed to support 3D scanning and photogrammetry workflows. The set includes 208 magnetic markers that attach to ferrous surfaces, providing clear fiducial points for alignment, registration and tracking. Markers are compact and coded so compatible scanners can auto-detect and use them to improve multi-scan stitching and spatial orientation without permanent adhesives.

Advantages

The markers are coded for precise tracking, enabling scanners to recognise individual reference points and maintain orientation across multiple captures. Magnetic mounting allows quick placement and removal on metal parts without residue or surface damage, and the reuseable design supports repeated measurement cycles. Their compact size minimizes interference with scanning while offering reliable contrast for automated detection.

Suitable for

• 3D scanning of metal components where temporary fiducial points are needed
• Photogrammetry setups that require many distributed reference markers
• Reverse engineering and inspection workflows that demand accurate registration between scans
• Prototyping and small-batch manufacturing quality control

When it may not be suitable

Because the markers use magnetic attachment, they are intended for use on ferrous or magnetically receptive surfaces; they will not adhere to non‑magnetic materials such as plastic, wood, glass or some non-ferrous metals without an intermediary magnetic surface. Additionally, environments with strong magnetic fields or heavy contamination on the surface may reduce adhesion or detection reliability.

Key specifications

• Quantity: 208 magnetic coded markers
• Marker face diameter: 5 mm (spot diameter)
• Overall marker size: 22 × 22 mm
• Marker type: coded fiducial targets with magnetic backing
• Mounting method: magnetic, removable and reusable
• Primary compatibility: designed for use with compatible Revopoint scanners and photogrammetry software that recognise coded targets

How to use

Clean the target area on the metal surface to remove grease, dust or coatings that could interfere with magnetic contact. Place markers in a distribution that provides clear coverage across the object and around edges or occluded areas where registration may be difficult. Use the scanner or photogrammetry software’s coded target detection feature to automatically identify and register markers during capture. After scanning, remove markers and store them in their case for reuse.

What to consider before purchase

• Surface material: markers require ferrous or magnetically receptive surfaces to adhere.
• Project scale: ensure 208 markers are sufficient for your required number and spacing of fiducials.
• Scanner/software compatibility: verify your scanner or photogrammetry application supports coded magnetic targets or allows manual registration using fiducials.
• Working environment: consider surface cleanliness and magnetic interference in the scanning area.

Usage recommendations

For best results, position markers evenly with some placed on stable reference features and some on movable or complex geometry. Maintain a mix of close and more widely spaced markers so the scanner can maintain continuity between captures; replace any markers with worn or damaged faces to preserve detection accuracy.
