5. Operating Instructions
The Revopoint Mini 2 is designed for efficient and precise 3D scanning. Here are key aspects of its operation:
5.1 Scanning Principles
- Precision: The scanner achieves a single-frame precision of up to 0.02 mm, ideal for capturing fine details.
- Speed: It offers fast capture speeds of up to 16 frames per second (fps), allowing for quick data acquisition.
- Blue Light Technology: Industrial-grade blue light technology minimizes interference from ambient light, enhancing accuracy and model quality.
- Single Capture Range: A larger single capture range of up to 168 x 132 mm improves tracking and scanning of larger objects.
- Color and Texture: An RGB camera with a bigger aperture and Flash LEDs enhances the capture of intricate texture and color details. The 6 Flash LEDs also improve marker recognition for smoother scanning of featureless objects.
- IMU Technology: The integrated IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit) helps remove faulty frames caused by fast movement or shaky hands, improving tracking stability.
5.2 Scanning Process
- Prepare the Object: For best results, especially with reflective, transparent, or very dark objects, consider using scanning spray or applying scanning markers.
- Launch RevoScan: Open the RevoScan software on your connected device.
- Select Scan Mode: Choose the appropriate scanning mode (e.g., handheld, turntable) and adjust settings like exposure using the software interface or the three tactile buttons on the scanner.
- Start Scanning: Begin scanning the object, maintaining a steady distance and movement as guided by the software. The IMU will assist in stable tracking.
- Review and Process: After scanning, review the captured data within RevoScan. The software allows for merging multiple scans, cleaning up data, and exporting the 3D model in various formats.
