Scanning

Preview / Start scan / Pause scan

You can switch in these 3 status with the trigger on the scanner, or click the button in the software. The normal order is: Preview (optional) > Scan > Pause.

Function	Icon	Icon	Instruction
Preview (optional)			Preview and adjust the scan parameters for better scanning effects. You can open/close the function in > General Setting.
Start Scan			Click to scan. During scanning, keep the scanner parallel to the surface, keep a proper distance from the object, and adjust the brightness depending on the ambient light or texture of the object.
Pause Scan			Edit the data or change the view angle after pausing.

Caution

• Please hold the scanner upright to start to preview / scan.
• When performing a scan, please ensure that there is sufficient VRAM (video random access memory) to prevent any scanning abnormalities or issues.
• When scanning for details or small holes, scan as close as possible to the object.

Generate Data

Laser Mode

After scannign, click Mesh Processing，or hover the cursor over the ◂ and click Mesh Optimization.

Function	Description
Mesh Optimization	To do mesh optimization and mesh processing. This function is recommended if you scan the mesh data without scanning global markers first. This process will improve the overall accuracy of the mesh data, but may take a longer time.

IR Mode

After scanning, click Optimizing and Generating Point Cloud，or hover the cursor over the left expand button and click Generate Point Cloud in the expand bar. Then click Mesh Model to output a mesh model.

Function	Description
Generate Point Cloud	Generate point cloud directly without any optimization.
Optimizing and Generating Point Cloud	Optimize then generate point cloud, suggest choosing this option when you have higher accuracy requirement or when there is layering problem caused by accumulated aligning errors during scanning. Note Optimizing and Generating Point Cloud is only available in IR Scan.

Note

• You can only Optimize and Generate Point Cloud for scanning portraits in the IR Mode.
• The time it takes to generate point cloud depends on the data size of your project and the hardware configuration of your PC.
