2. Key Features

  • Multi-Laser & Infrared Fusion: Combines blue single-line laser (0.1mm precision for deep holes), 34-line cross laser (fast large-object scanning), 7-line parallel laser (complex surfaces), and infrared structured light (marker-free scanning of humans/large items).
  • Lab-Grade 0.02mm Accuracy: Captures sharp edges and rich details with industry-leading precision (0.02mm + 0.08mm/m volumetric accuracy).
  • 90FPS Ultra-Speed & 4.6M Points/Sec: Enables smooth scanning of moving objects with high data acquisition rates.
  • All-Size & All-Material Adaptability: Scans objects from 5mm to 4000mm without spray powder, handling black, shiny surfaces, hair, and multi-color items.
  • System Compatibility: Supports Windows and macOS operating systems, with AI thermal compensation for stable long-term use.

3. Setup Guide

3.1 System Requirements

Before connecting your Sermoon S1, ensure your computer meets the following minimum specifications for optimal performance:

  • Operating System: Windows or macOS
  • CPU: Cores ≥ 8, Threads ≥ 16, Base Frequency ≥ 2.4GHz

3.2 Connecting the Scanner

  1. Unpack the Sermoon S1 scanner and all included accessories.
  2. Connect the scanner to your computer using the provided USB cable. Ensure the connection is secure.
  3. Install the necessary scanning software. Refer to the software installation guide for detailed instructions.
  4. Once the software is installed, launch it and follow the on-screen prompts to calibrate the scanner if required.

4. Operating Instructions

4.1 Preparing for Scanning

  • Ensure the object to be scanned is stable and well-lit.
  • For optimal results, avoid direct sunlight or strong reflections on the object.
  • The Sermoon S1 can scan objects from 5mm to 4000mm. Position the scanner at an appropriate distance from the object.

4.2 Scanning Process

  1. Open the scanning software on your computer.
  2. Select the desired scanning mode (e.g., single-line, cross-line, parallel-line, or infrared) based on the object's characteristics and required detail.
  3. Initiate the scan within the software.
  4. Move the scanner smoothly around the object, ensuring consistent coverage. The software will provide real-time feedback on scan quality and progress.
  5. The scanner's 90FPS ultra-speed and 4.6 million points/sec acquisition rate allow for efficient capture of data, even for moving objects.
  6. The AI thermal compensation function ensures stable operation during extended scanning sessions.
  7. Once the scan is complete, stop the process in the software and save the acquired 3D data.
