Export the model

Open the model in Revo Scan and choose Export on the tab bar. Select the required format (e.g., PLY, OBJ, STL) and save the file to your computer.

Import the model into the third-party software

Open third-party software such as Blender and Maya.

Find the Import function (usually under the File menu).

Choose the format to import and select the model you exported from Revo Scan.

You can edit the model using third-party software once it is imported.

Please ensure that this software supports the format you choose.

Step 1: Connect the Mini Turntable to a PC or a power socket via the turntable’s power cable. When the indicator turns solid green, it’s powered.

Step 2: Place the object on the center of the turntable.

Step 3: Flick the switch left or right to adjust the turntable’s rotational direction, and twist the dial to adjust the rotation speed.

Step 4: Adjust the tripod to a suitable height and distance and aim the scanner at the object. Then, select the scanner’s settings and begin the scan.

The Turntable Topper is a helpful accessory for scanning featureless objects in Marker Tracking mode. To begin your scan, place the Topper on top of a turntable, put the object on it, and choose Marker Tracking in Revo Scan.

Calibrating your Revopoint 3D scanner using the Calibration Board is important to ensure scanning accuracy. Below are the basic steps for using the Calibration Board:

Preparation

Download and install the latest version of Revo Scan software to your computer and open it.

Connect the scanner to the USB 3.0 port on your computer using the cable included in the package and wait for the scanner to connect.

Make sure the scanner lens is clean and free of dust or stains.

Placing the calibration board

Place the calibration board on a flat and stable surface and make sure the pattern on the board is clearly visible.

Enter the calibration program

To enter the calibration program, click the "Scanner Calibration" option at the bottom left corner of the home page.

Start calibration and follow the displayed steps

Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the calibration.

Marker points are stuck on or around objects without geometric features, so the POP 3 Plus can track what it is scanning. When using Marker points, place them in irregular patterns with around 3 - 4 cm between the markers across the object you’re scanning, and ensure that there are at least 5 marker points always in the frame when scanning.

Magic Mat is a black mat with highly reflective marker points across its surface. It is designed to simplify scanning featureless objects by eliminating the need to place marker points on the item.

No, repeated scanning will make your model worse and extend the processing time. One scan close to the object will result in the best accuracy.

Like most 3D scanners, highly reflective, transparent, or dark objects can only be effectively scanned using 3D scanning spray to coat the object’s surface.

These objects are hard to scan because of their special surface features. You can either use scanning spray or other fine powders such as baby powder to coat their surface before scan.

Yes, but not in direct sunlight. Try scanning outside after the sun sets, just before sunrise, or on a very overcast day.

The recommended scan volume is 20 × 20 × 20 mm – 2000 × 2000 × 2000 mm.

Lighting: Scan the object in even and soft lighting and avoid shade or reflection.

Adjust RGB exposure: Toggle Color Scanning and adjust the RGB Camera exposure until the object’s color in the preview window is clear and sharp.

Adjust the white balance: In the RGB camera’s preview window, toggle the White Balance switch and adjust it till the colors look correct.

There are several reasons why tracking loss may occur:

① It may happen if the scanner is moved too fast or its position relative to the object changes too much during the scan. If this happens, move the scanner to a previously scanned area and wait several seconds for the scanner to regain tracking. Once this happens, hold the scanner steady and continue the scan at a constant speed.

② Tracking may be lost when scanning featureless objects like balls or cups. If this happens, you must stick markers on the object before scanning.

③ Tracking may be lost if an object has sharp contrasting color differences on its surfaces. To fix this, pause the scan and then adjust the Depth Camera’s exposure till the surfaces can be detected clearly.

Use markers: Stick markers on or around the object, or put the Magic Mat or Turntable Topper under the object. Ensure at least 5 markers can be detected in one frame during scanning, and choose Marker Tracking mode to scan.

Use reference objects: Place 1 to 3 reference objects with distinct features around the item you’re scanning and choose Feature Tracking mode.

Yes, but advanced scanning and post-processing skills are needed.
