Product Overview - Photoneo PhoXi User Manual And Installation Instructions

1) Product overview

Photoneo® PhoXi® 3D Scanner is a device that uses structured light projection to
reconstruct a 3D surface geometry of an imaged object. In the structured light
projection, one or more patterns are projected onto a scene. This greatly simplifies
computations to calculate the 3D surface geometry from images of the scene. The 3D
surface geometry and texture is provided as an output via Ethernet connection in
multiple formats of cloud of points.
At the beginning Photoneo® PhoXi® 3D Scanner project special patterns onto scene.
Duration of each pattern can be set in PhoXi® Control, total projection time is then
number of patterns (most usually 17) × single pattern exposure (in miliseconds) × 2.
Then after data acquisition the PhoXi® 3D Scanner calculates all points in space and
sends data over ethernet connection to subscriber. Projection to total cycle time ratio is
then lower than one and not only depends on scanner settings but also on ethernet
connection speed.
 WARNING
The laser projector aperture is located at the right side of the front panel of the device,
as shown on the picture. The aperture is clearly marked by a warning label (image 1:
PhoXi® 3D Scanner's laser projector location). Do not look into laser projector unit
while the device is in use.
As a rule of thumb, to keep your machine safe always face the scanner away from
areas with possible occurrence of people and secure the area with safety mechanism to
avoid tresspassing of unqualified personnel. Despite diffuse reflections are not
harmful, secure space around scanner for specular reflections from mirrors, polished
objects and similar.
All components the product is made of, that are bought from 3rd parties, conforms
with applicable european directives and laws.
