3. Setup

Initial Power On and Charging

Before first use, ensure the device is fully charged using the provided power adapter and cable. Connect the power adapter to a suitable power source and the cable to the scanner's charging port. The charging indicator will show the charging status.

Calibration

Place the calibration board on a flat, stable surface. Follow the on-screen instructions on the Toucan scanner to perform initial calibration. This step is crucial for accurate scanning results. Regular calibration is recommended to maintain precision.

Note Before Use: Handheld 3D scanners require some learning to master. Please follow the guides and tutorials carefully—practice makes perfect, and you’ll soon achieve excellent scanning results.

4. Operating Instructions

User-Friendly Controls

The Toucan scanner features a multi-level damping adjustment wheel and quick-access buttons for intuitive control. The damping wheel allows for precise adjustments of scan brightness, screen brightness, and model zoom.

Scanning Process

To begin scanning, power on the device and select the desired scanning mode from the user interface. Position the scanner at the recommended working distance (200-1000 mm) from the object. Use the quick buttons to start and pause the scan. The device's Smart Resume Scan Mode helps fill gaps by recognizing different object orientations, allowing for effortless capture of undersides and internal structures.

5. Maintenance

Cleaning

Gently wipe the scanner's exterior with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the device's surface. Ensure the camera lenses and projection system are free from dust, fingerprints, and smudges for accurate scanning performance.

Storage

When not in use, store the 3DMakerpro Toucan 3D Scanner in its provided silicone case. Keep the device in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, high humidity, and extreme temperatures. This helps protect the internal components and prolong the device's lifespan.

6. Troubleshooting

Connectivity Issues

If you experience connectivity issues (e.g., when connecting to external devices or networks), ensure the device's firmware is up to date. Refer to the official 3DMakerpro support website for specific workarounds or driver updates, especially for newer operating systems or hardware configurations.

Scanning Inaccuracies

If scans appear inaccurate or incomplete, re-perform the calibration process as described in the Setup section. Ensure proper and consistent lighting conditions during scanning. For objects with reflective, transparent, or very dark surfaces, consider applying a temporary scanning spray or strategically placing markers to improve data capture.

Power Issues

If the device does not power on or hold a charge, ensure the power adapter and cable are correctly connected and functioning. Allow the device to charge for the recommended duration. If the issue persists, contact customer support.
