Calibration

The calibration process is self-guided. To calibrate the scanner, follow the steps indicated at the
calibration step in the software.

Calibration plate usage

1. Open the case cover.
2. Lay calibration plate case on flat surface.
3. Calibrate following instructions carefully.
4. Close the cover and store in the case after use.
The calibration plate is a crucial part of the system. A damaged plate may prevent
the calibration optimization and affect the scan results.
Always leave the calibration plate in its case.
Do not touch the targets on the plate.
Do not scratch the plate.
Do not heat or store in hot environments.

Configuration

The configuration process is self-guided. To configure the scanner, follow the steps indicated at the con-
figuration step in the software.

Object preparation

In order to provide better scan results, the object to scan must be prepared following some simple steps.
The scanner self-positions itself based on the object geometry. No positioning targets are required for
objects featuring sufficient geometric information. In the case of flat or shiny surfaces, positioning
targets will provide better scan results.

Acquisition rules

The field of view is the image scope that the scanner can acquire during the scanning process. Any data
out of the scanner's field of view will not be acquired. For better surface results and to ensure optimal
field of view, a certain stand-off distance must be respected. The software will guide you through the
scan process.
