4. Operating Instructions

4.1 Basic Scanning Process

1. Power on the scanner and ensure it is connected to your device via WiFi6.
2. Launch the Creality Scan application.
3. Select the desired scanning mode (e.g., Normal, Body, Face) based on the object's size and detail requirements.
4. Position the scanner at an optimal distance from the object. The software will provide visual feedback on the distance.
5. Begin scanning by slowly moving the scanner around the object or rotating the object if using a turntable. Maintain a steady pace to ensure proper tracking.
6. Monitor the real-time scan preview on your device to ensure complete coverage and stable tracking.
7. Once scanning is complete, stop the process in the software.
8. Proceed to the post-processing stage within the application to optimize and generate the final 3D model.

4.2 Scanning Modes and Features

The CR Scan Ferret Pro offers versatile scanning capabilities:

• High-Quality Mode: Provides up to 0.1mm accuracy for capturing intricate details.
• Wide-Range Mode: Utilizes a built-in 3D imaging ASIC chip for fast scanning of medium to large objects.
• True Color Scanning: The integrated color camera captures full-color textures, rendering realistic models.
• Enhanced Anti-Shake Tracking: Advanced 3D imaging technology ensures smooth scanning even with slight hand movements, improving success rates.
• Black/Metal Object Scanning: Capable of scanning challenging surfaces like black or metallic objects without the need for scanning spray.

4.3 Marker Feature Scanning

The marker feature allows the scanner to track markers as features, enabling more precise scanning of small objects or objects lacking clear geometric and textural features. This feature can significantly improve scanning precision.

5. Maintenance

• Keep the scanner lenses clean and free from dust or smudges. Use a soft, lint-free cloth for cleaning.
• Store the scanner in its carrying case when not in use to protect it from physical damage and environmental elements.
• Avoid exposing the device to extreme temperatures or high humidity.
• Regularly check for software updates to ensure optimal performance and access to new features.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your CR Scan Ferret Pro, consider the following common solutions:

• Tracking Loss: If the scanner moves too fast or the turntable rotates too quickly, there may be too few overlapping areas between the new and previous frames, leading to tracking loss. Return the scanner to the previously scanned area and hold it steady for a few seconds to re-establish tracking.
• Poor Scan Quality: Verify that the scanner is held at the optimal distance from the object. Adjust IR exposure manually if necessary. Ensure the object has enough distinct features for the scanner to track, or use marker points for objects with fewer features.
• Software Crashes/Connectivity Issues: Ensure your device meets the minimum system requirements. Check WiFi6 connection stability. Restart the scanner, WiFi box, and your computing device. Update the Creality Scan software to the latest version.
• Scanning Black/Metal Objects: While the Ferret Pro can scan these surfaces without spray, ensure good lighting conditions and maintain optimal distance for best results.
