Camera Calibration & Maintenance
Maintaining Your Camera
Follow these simple tips to keep your camera clean and functioning at peak performance: Just like with mirrors,
you will need to clean the camera lens periodically. Use lens wipes to gently clean the camera lens as needed.
Your camera system comes with a lens cap. When using the camera, remove this lens and keep in a safe
place. It is recommended that this cap be placed on the camera lens when the camera is not in use. Just like
with mirror alignment, it may occasionally be necessary to correct the camera offset if the camera is bumped or
jostled. Follow the "Correcting Offset Camera Calibration" instructions below.
3D Camera Calibration
Muse 3D can detect the height of the material using the camera features. It is possible, however, that the

clear tape if necessary, but take care not to cover the printed pattern. Locate the sheet equally
with respect to the left and right of the bottom plate. The bottom edge of the calibration sheet
should also sit approximately 0.5" to 1" away from the black edge of the bottom plate
Pay Close attention to the orientation of the calibration sheet. Camera Calibration will not

work if orientation is incorrect.
Technical Support is available from 8am to 5pm (PST) M - F at support@fslaser.com.
5. Close the lid: Close the lid of the machine.
6. Verify no jobs: Ensure that there are no jobs actively on your machine or remove the water supply
from the machine so that the machine will not cut the calibration sheet. If the calibration sheet is
damaged, the recalibration process may not be effective.
7. Enter tools tab: Touch the Tools tab on the LCD screen of your machine.

Pay close attention to the orientation of the calibration sheet. It
will not work if rotated 180 degrees.
