2. Setup Guide

Follow these steps to set up your 3DMakerpro Moose Lite 3D Scanner:

Connect the Scanner: Plug the longer 'L' type plug of the device cable into the scanner's USB-C port. Connect one of the shorter ends into a PC USB port and the other shorter end into the provided power adapter. Ensure sufficient power is supplied, especially for faster data transfer.
Power the Turntable (Optional): If using the motorized turntable, place the turntable surface on top of the turntable base. Plug the Micro USB end of the turntable cable into the turntable and the USB end to a power source (e.g., PC USB port or your own USB power supply).
Install Software: Download and install the latest JMStudio software from the official 3DMakerpro website.
Position the Scanner: The scanner can be used handheld or mounted on the mini tripod for tabletop use. Attach the mini tripod to the bottom of the scanner by screwing it into the designated thread.

3. Operating Instructions

The JMStudio software provides an intuitive interface for operating the Moose Lite scanner. There are two primary scanning modes:

Easy Scan: Ideal for handheld scanning of objects ranging from 15mm to 1500mm.
Table Scan: Best used with the motorized turntable for objects between 15mm and 300mm.

Scanning Process:

Device Connection: Ensure the scanner is properly connected to your computer via a USB 3.0 port for optimal data transfer.
Preview and Adjustment: In the JMStudio software, click "Start Scanning" in the splash screen. The Work Panel will switch to the "Adjust" panel. Select the proper splicing mode (Geometry & Texture) and adjust the distance between the object and scanner to "excellent" using the on-screen guide.
Scan: Click the "Scan" button to begin capturing data. Maintain a steady movement around the object.
Append Scans: For complex objects or to capture all sides, flip the object and click "Append" to perform additional scans.
Align: After multiple scans, use the "Align" function in the software to merge the scanned data points. The software can automatically align scans, or you can manually select three surface points for alignment if needed.
Process: Once aligned, click "Process" to convert the data points into a mesh. You can then use tools like "Remove Noise," "Repair Gaps," and "Simplify" to refine your 3D model.
Export: The final 3D model can be exported in common formats such as OBJ, STL, PLY, and ASC for use in 3D printing or CAD software.

4. Special Considerations for Scanning

Certain object types may require special preparation before scanning to ensure optimal results:

Transparent Objects: Items like glass products or plastic bottles may not be accurately captured.
Deformable Objects: Clothes or animals can change shape during scanning, affecting accuracy.
Reflective/Shiny Objects: Metal products or electroplated parts can cause glare and incomplete data.

For transparent, reflective, or dark objects, it is recommended to apply a thin, even coat of developer or powder spray to dull the surface. This makes the object visible to the scanner and improves data capture quality.

Objects requiring special treatment before scanning — Figure 4: Examples of objects that may require special treatment (e.g., powder spray) before scanning for accurate data capture.
