Attention: If you install another device of a different serial number, the software will automatically notify users to activate this device.

Calibration

Camera Calibration

STEP 01: Follow the instructions on the software to place the calibration board [calibration-board] in 5 different positions. Hold the scanner vertically and cover the screen range.

STEP 02: [calibration-step-2]

STEP 03: [calibration-step-3]

STEP 04: [calibration-step-4]

STEP 05: [calibration-step-5]

White Balance Calibration

Only required for Color Pack.

Hold the scanner vertically to the back side of the calibration board [calibration-board] (white side) and adjust the distance until you find the proper distance.

Calibration is required by default the first time installing the software. Calibration is also required for the following:

1. Device Change
2. After device enduring bumpy transportation
3. After device accuracy decreases
4. Device being uncalibrated for a long time (e.g., 15 days)
5. When using the Color Pack, if the texture camera's [texture-camera] position has been changed.

Scanning Tips and Summary

Scan Mode Selection Guide

• Use Handheld Rapid Scan mode when: A fast scanning experience is needed; Objects have good geometry for feature alignment; Objects are hard to move or too big to stay on turntable for scanning.
• Use Handheld HD Scan mode when: High accuracy and high resolution by handheld scanning is required; Objects are hard to move or too big to stay on turntable for scanning.
• Use Fixed Scan with Turntable mode when: High accuracy and high resolution is required; Objects' footprint is within Ø 150mm which may not cover most coded targets on turntable; Weight is under 5kg; Objects' footprint is above Ø150mm with rich geometry features can also work in Fixed Scan with Turntable mode through feature alignment.
• Use Fixed Scan without Turntable mode when: High accuracy and high resolution is required; Objects are too big or heavy to work on turntable.

Summary of Modes

Difficult to Scan Objects and Solutions

Difficult Objects:

• Transparent objects like glasses
• Shining or highly reflective objects like mirrors
• Moving objects or vibrating objects
• Lattice structure with many small deep holes
