Calibration
Calibration Preparation
You can re-adjust parameters of the device through calibration, which not only ensures the accuracy of the device, but also the scanning quality.
Note
Calibration is required under the following conditions: The first time for using the device. The scanner was severely shaken or vibrated during transportation. The scanner is used for the first time or it is not in use for a long period of time (1-2 weeks). The accuracy drops during scanning, such as frequent alignment failures or the inability to recognize markers. Incomplete data is acquired or the quality of scanned data drops during scanning.
Caution
Do not wipe the calibration board with chemical liquids. Do not put heavy objects or sundries on the calibration board. After using the calibration board, put it in the flannel bag. The calibration board can only be used for the calibration of the device. Keep the calibration board away from corrosives, metals and sharp objects to avoid corrosion or damage. Make sure that the markers on the calibration board aren’t damaged or stained, and that the front side of the calibration board is clean and free of scratches. The calibration board is matched to the scanner. Calibrating with an mismatched calibration board will lead to inaccuracy or fail to get good scanned data. After powering on the device, please heat it to a proper temperature before the calibration to ensure accuracy and precision.
Calibration
Follow the steps provided by the calibration wizard on the right side of the interface.
Caution
Please contact technical support if the message (Wrong laser calibration file) prompts.
Steps 1. Place the calibration board horizontally. 2. Place the scanner in the same direction as shown in the figure. 3. Align the center point of the device with the center point of the gray circle on the calibration board. 4. Press the start button on the scanner or click Calibrate on the interface to start calibration.
5. Move the device slowly and adjust the distance between the scanner and the calibration board according to the height indicating box.
6. Keep moving until all height boxes turn green. 7. Adjust the scanner position according to the prompts on the software interface. Repeat steps 4 to 5 to
complete the calibration for the remaining directions. 8. Check the calibration result.
Note
Please calibrate again if the calibration fails. During the calibration process, please ensure that there are not a large number of markers around the calibration board, so as not to affect the calibration accuracy. Please contact the supplier or technical support if the calibration still fails after several attempts.
The navigation bar at the top of the interface will display the time when the calibration was completed successfully. If no further calibration is performed within 7 days after the completion of the previous calibration,
will appear. It is recommended to perform calibration again to ensure scanning accuracy.

Scanning
Scan Mode
Choose the proper scanning mode to scan.
Scan Global Markers
This mode is used to scan markers on the surface of an object. You can quickly obtain the markers data of an object in this way and switch to Scan Mesh to continue scanning.
Caution The scanner does not project laser lines during the scanning process.
You can scan new markers after opening a global markers file. When switching to Scan Global Markers, the current scanned data will be cleaned up and the data can not be recovered.
Scan Mesh
Directly scan to generate mesh data. This mode is suitable for most scanning scenarios. Note
When the markers are not fully scanned in Scan Global Markers, you can check Add Global Markers to scan new global markers.
Partial HD Scanning
This mode is used for scanning when there is a high requirement for details in a specific area or when there are missing data in certain regions. By using this mode for targeted scanning, it can save scanning time and make the scanned data more accurate and complete.
Photogrammetry
This mode is generally suitable for high-precision industrial measurements. Depending on the size of the scanned object(s), you can import an appropriate scale bar file and use the scale bar(s) during scanning to improve the overall accuracy of the global markers data.
Resolution
Note
When there is only one project within the project group, you can adjust the resolution in real-time in the scan mesh mode. When there are multiple projects within the project group, you cannot adjust the resolution anymore in the scan mesh mode.

Select a feature line in the drop-down menu of the line, and select an axis in the drop-down menu of the line. The arrow of the line indicates the positive direction of the line, and the direction of the selected axis will be consistent with the direction of the projection of the line on the selected plane. Click the drop-down menu to select a point, the position of this point is the origin of the coordinates (0, 0, 0). Click Align to start the coordinates transformation. When the lines are perpendicular to the plane, the transformation fails, so the alignment fails. Click Reset to cancel all the transformation in the 3-2-1 system alignment interface. Click Close to save the results and exit. Quick Alignment The coordinate frame is displayed on the model when the model is rotated to the expected angle.
