3.1 User Interface and Display
The MIRACO features a 6-inch 2K AMOLED touchscreen. This display allows for real-time viewing of scans, editing, and navigation through the device's software. The screen can be flipped 180 degrees for comfortable viewing from various angles or for self-scanning.

3.2 Scanning Modes
The MIRACO offers two primary capture modes to suit different scanning needs:
- Continuous Mode: Ideal for quickly capturing 3D models at speeds up to 15 frames per second (fps). This mode is efficient for general scanning of objects with sufficient geometric features.
- Single-shot Mode: Recommended for objects that are feature-rich or featureless, or for situations requiring high accuracy and minimal point cloud overlap. This mode provides precise tracking and detailed capture.

3.3 Object Size and Detail Capture
The MIRACO's quad-depth camera system allows for scanning a wide range of object sizes. You can switch between Near-mode for capturing fine details on small objects and Far-mode for quickly scanning large surface areas or objects. This mode switching can be done mid-scan for optimal flexibility.

3.4 Color Scanning
The integrated 48-megapixel RGB camera and Flash LED system enable the MIRACO to capture full-color textures, producing photorealistic 3D models. The Flash LED ensures even lighting for balanced color reproduction.

3.5 Data Transfer and Export
After scanning and editing on the MIRACO, projects can be transferred to macOS or Windows PCs using Wi-Fi 6 or a Type-C USB connection. The device supports exporting 3D models in various formats, including PLY, OBJ, STL, ASC, 3MF, GLTF, and FBX, ensuring compatibility with most 3D modeling and 3D printing software.

3.6 Revo Design Software
The MIRACO integrates with Revo Design software, powered by Quicksurface, to streamline the scan-to-CAD workflow. This software allows for efficient conversion of scanned data (STL, OBJ, PLY, etc.) into ready-to-use CAD models for product design and reverse engineering. Note that Revo Design is compatible with x86_64 architecture.

4. Maintenance
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your Revopoint MIRACO 3D Scanner.
4.1 Cleaning the Device
- Use the provided cleaning cloth to gently wipe the screen and scanner lenses.
- Avoid using abrasive materials or harsh chemical cleaners, as these can damage the surfaces.
- Ensure the device is powered off before cleaning.
4.2 Storage
- Store the MIRACO in its scanner bag or a protective case when not in use to prevent dust accumulation and physical damage.
- Keep the device in a cool, dry environment, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
5. Troubleshooting
This section addresses common issues you might encounter while using your MIRACO 3D Scanner.
5.1 Scanning Difficult Objects
Image: Solutions for scanning challenging object types.
- Transparent, Reflective, Dark, or Shiny Objects: These surfaces can be challenging for 3D scanning. Apply a thin, even coat of a specialized matte scanning spray to the object's surface to improve scan quality and tracking.
- Flat, Dark, or Featureless Objects: Objects lacking distinct geometric features can cause tracking issues. Use the provided marker stickers strategically placed on the object or surrounding area to provide reference points for the scanner.
- Small Objects: If the scanner loses tracking on small objects, ensure you are using Near-mode and consider adding marker stickers around the object to aid in tracking stability.
5.2 Battery Life Concerns
While the MIRACO battery is rated for up to 2 hours of scanning, certain operations can consume power more rapidly:
- Onboard Lights: Using the scanner's integrated lights for illumination can significantly reduce battery life. If possible, rely on external lighting or use the onboard lights sparingly.
- Intensive Processing: Continuous high-frame-rate scanning or extensive on-device post-processing can increase power consumption.
Ensure the device is fully charged before extended scanning sessions. The fast charging feature allows for an 80% charge in 35 minutes.
5.3 Connectivity Issues
- Wi-Fi Connection: If experiencing issues with Wi-Fi 6 transfers, ensure the scanner is within range of a strong Wi-Fi signal and that network settings are correct.
- USB-C Connection: Verify that the USB Type-C cable is securely connected to both the scanner and your computer. Try a different USB-C port or cable if issues persist.
