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
- Unpack the Sermoon S1 scanner and all included accessories.
- Connect the scanner to your computer using the provided USB cable. Ensure the connection is secure.
- Install the necessary scanning software. Refer to the software installation guide for detailed instructions.
- 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
- Open the scanning software on your computer.
- Select the desired scanning mode (e.g., single-line, cross-line, parallel-line, or infrared) based on the object's characteristics and required detail.
- Initiate the scan within the software.
- Move the scanner smoothly around the object, ensuring consistent coverage. The software will provide real-time feedback on scan quality and progress.
- The scanner's 90FPS ultra-speed and 4.6 million points/sec acquisition rate allow for efficient capture of data, even for moving objects.
- The AI thermal compensation function ensures stable operation during extended scanning sessions.
- Once the scan is complete, stop the process in the software and save the acquired 3D data.
