Quick calibration

Through calibration, the scanner parameters are recalculated, which not only ensures the accuracy of the scanner, but also improves the scanning quality.

Calibration is required under the following conditions:

  • When the scanner is used for the first time, or when it is reused after being laid idle for a long period of time (1 - 2 weeks).
  • The scanner was severely shaken or vibrated, such as shaken during transportation.
  • Severe accuracy reduction, such as frequent errors in alignment or unrecognized markers.
  • Incomplete data is acquired during the scanning or serious deterioration of the quality of scanned data.

Caution

  • Start to calibrate when the temperature1 of the scanner get high enough (25℃ - 45℃).

  • The calibration board is matched to the scanner. Calibrating with an mismatched calibration board will lead to inaccuracy or fail to get good scanned data.

  • Always make sure that both sides of the calibration board are clean and free of scratches.

  • Do not place heavy objects or sundries on the calibration board.

  • Keep the calibration board away from corrosives, metals and sharp objects to avoid corrosion or damage.

  • It is not recommended to wipe the calibration board. If needed, gently wipe it with a piece of a clean damp cloth. Do not use a cloth with chemicals or alcohols to wipe the calibration board.

  • After using the calibration board, put it in a flannel bag.

Steps

Follow the steps provided by the calibration wizard on the right side of the interface.

1.Place the calibration board horizontally.

2.Place the scanner in the same direction as shown in the figure.

3.Align the center point of the Device’s handle with the center point of the gray circle on the calibration board.

4.Press the scan button on the scanner to start calibration.

5.Move the device slowly and adjust the distance between the scanner and the calibration board according to the height indicating box.

6.Keep moving until all height boxes turn green.

7.Check the calibration result.

Note

  • Please calibrate again if the calibration fails.
  • During the calibration process, please ensure that there are not a large number of markers around the calibration board, so as not to affect the calibration accuracy.
  • Please contact the supplier or technical support if the calibration still fails after several attempts.

  1. When the temperature of the scanner is between 30°C and 35°C, do calibration to get better scanning accuracy. ↩
