Launch of the Raven 3D Scanner by APPLE TREE

APPLE TREE Co., Ltd., based in Osaka, Japan, is set to revolutionize the field of 3D scanning with the launch of its new product, the Raven, on May 28, 2026. This innovative LiDAR-based 3D scanner is designed for indoor and outdoor space scanning, making it a versatile tool for industries such as construction, real estate, and video production.

Key Features of Raven

Advanced LiDAR Scanning System

The Raven boasts a maximum scanning radius of approximately 50 meters and a wide field of view, allowing users to capture extensive 3D data efficiently. With its SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) technology, it is capable of continuous space scanning while the user moves, making it ideal for dynamic environments.

Colorized Point Cloud Data Capture

Equipped with a 1/2 inch 12MP camera, Raven can generate color point cloud data inclusive of RGB information. This feature adds visual context to the scanned data, enhancing spatial understanding and analysis for various applications.

Portable and Lightweight Design

Weighing in at roughly 1.1 kg, the Raven is designed for ease of transport and use in the field. Its lightweight setup supports scanning operations without the hassle of cumbersome equipment, allowing professionals to operate effectively on-site.

User-Friendly Touchscreen Interface

The device includes a 3.9-inch AMOLED touchscreen, which ensures excellent visibility and functionality during operation. Users can monitor scanning progress and execute various commands directly from the device, enhancing the overall user experience.

Three Models to Choose From

Raven comes in three models tailored to diverse needs:

• - Standard (one camera)
• - Max (two cameras)
• - Max RTK (includes an RTK module)

This variety allows users to select a configuration suitable for their specific application and operational environment.

Differences from the Eagle Scanner

When comparing Raven with APPLE TREE's previous model, the Eagle, notable differences are apparent:

• - Display: Raven features a 3.9-inch AMOLED touch screen for improved usability over the Eagle's 3.5-inch display.
