Quick guide Step 1 Step 2 Ensure device accuracy and scanning quality. Create or open a project group. Calibrate Create a project Step 3 Step 4 Configure the project setting. Scan the object and obtain the data. Set up Scan Step 5 Step 6 Edit scanned data.
Calibration With calibration, the scanner parameters are recalculated, which not only ensures the accuracy of the scanner, but also improve the quality of scanning. Note Calibration is required under the following conditions: When the scanner is used for the first time. The scanner was severely shaken or shocked, such as shocked during transportation.
Page 35
Steps 1. Place the calibration board to the proper position on the turntable, facing the 3D scanner. 2. Follow the prompts on the screen to position the calibration board, ensuring that the center crosshair is aligned with the calibration board in both the left and right camera views. 3.
Page 36
White balance To ensure the accuracy of the texture data, it's recommended to adjust the white balance whenever there is a change in ambient brightness. Caution Don't move the calibration board during calibration. Don't adjust the white balance or scan under strong light, it may cause color deviation. Interface Steps 1.
Page 37
Note If white balance fails, please recalibrate the white balance. support team If you cannot get the pass result anyway, please contact your supplier or our After successfully calibrating the white balance, click Next to create or open a project group.
