Phiz 3D Scanner
User Manual
Thank you for purchasing and using the Phiz 3D Scanner developed by KIRI Innovation.
Phiz 3D Scanner is a unique 3D scanner that works in conjunction with your smartphone.
After downloading the Phiz App, Phiz 3D Scanner can be connected to your smartphone
wirelessly. Then you can enjoy the high-precision 3D scan right on your smartphone.
Since the beginning of this project, we have been putting a lot of thoughts (and fights, if
necessary) into the intuitiveness. We hope you like the user experiences that we are trying to
bring to you and that we will be continuously improving this product to make it more
awesome.
KIRI Innovation has the best team on earth! We started with two passionate individuals
and now have grown to be the place of choice for the PhDs and smart a**es across top
colleges in the world.
The Phiz 3D Scanner was first introduced as a Kickstarter project, it was brought to life by
908 innovation early adopters. They took huge risks of being scammed by “just another
Kickstarter project” and backed us anyways. We cannot thank them enough for their bravery
because KIRI Innovation would’ve probably been dead if they gave up on us.

Phiz, what’s it good for?
1. Scanning Object
The Phiz 3D Scanner can provide better results when scanning solid cylindrical, non-
transparent objects. Objects with over-hangs, hollowed parts and high-reflectivity are usually
not good for the Phiz 3D Scanner.

3. Scanning Range
The best practice is to keep the Phiz Turntable as close to the Phiz Beacon as possible, while
having the entire scanned object appeared in the preview window.
Perfect Too Far
2. Phone Position
When inserting the smartphone into the Phiz Beacon, make sure the phone is placed in the
proper position.

4. About the Magic Mark
The Magic Mark on the center of the Phiz Turntable contains one of KIRI Innovation’s key
technologies. When positioning the Phiz Turntable, the Magic Mark should always be entirely
included in the camera screen.
5. About the Object / Turntable Position
Due to the specialty of the Phiz’s algorithm, you may find it difficult to position the object and
the Phiz Turntable to the camera center. This may look like the following:
Completely
OK
The object and the turntable are
in the right side of the camera
screen. You may expect them to
be more in the camera center.
But this position is completely ok.
In fact, it is the optimized position
for scanning.

6. The Surrounding Environment
Although we are putting user experience as our top priority, we still cannot make sure the surrounding environment would do zero
influence on the scan results. Thus, the following suggestions would potentially help you improve the scan results:
•Make sure there’s no moving object in the background throughout the scanning process
•It is recommended to place the Phiz Turntable at least 1 ft. (30cm) away from its background
•Try not to distance the Phiz Beacon and the Turntable more than 1.3 ft away, or the wireless
communication may be interrupted
•Do not 3D scan under direct sunshine, it could make the result very bad
•Do not shake/move the Phiz 3D Scanner or the scanning object during the 3D scanning process

Product Description
Phiz 3D Scanner is used for digitizing real-world objects into 3D models. It works in
conjunction with your smartphone. The following instruction will show you how to use Phiz
3D Scanner and create stunning 3D models.
1. Phiz Beacon
Phiz Beacon is one of the two parts included in the Phiz 3D Scanner. Phiz Beacon is used to
hold the smartphone in place. It emits a line of laser to the object for the smartphone to
compute the 3D coordinated of the object. The top part of the Phiz Beacon is integrated with
Phiz Lighting System
Power Button:
Hold the power button for 5 seconds to turn on/off
the Phiz Beacon.
Lifting Button:
Hold the lifting button, the top of the Phiz Beacon will go up for you
to put in the smartphone. Hold the button one more time the top
will retract and will stop when it holds the smartphone in place.
LED Ring:
When the power is on, the LED ring will light
up.

Laser Focusing Wheel:
You can adjust the laser thickness by rotating the focusing wheel.
When scanning, you want to make the laser line on the object as thin
as possible.
Laser Emitter:
⚠This is the part that emits the green laser line. Please
do not stare at it directly or shine at others.
Fill Light:
Phiz Smart Lighting System will control this bar of fill light to make
the object brighter if the ambient light is too low.

2. Phiz Turntable
Phiz Turntable is one of the two parts included in the Phiz 3D Scanner. Phiz Turntable is used
to rotate the scanned object controlled by the Phiz App on the smartphone.
LED Ring:
When the power is on, the LED ring will light up.
Power Button:
Hold the power button for 5 seconds to turn on/off the Phiz Turntable.
The Magic Mark:
This is the magic mark that makes any smartphone, no matter the size, work seamlessly with Phiz 3D Scanner.
Keep it clean at all time.

Scan Procedures
1. Download the Phiz App on your smartphone
If using Android phones, you can
download the app by scanning the QR
code or directly from App Store or
Google Play, searching for 3DScanLink
2. Turn on the Phiz Beacon and the Phiz Turntable
Find the power button on the
Phiz Beacon and the Phiz
Turntable. Press and Hold for 5
seconds.
3. On your Phiz App, follow the instructions and click
“Connect to Phiz”.
4. Make sure the object you want to scan is fully included in
the preview. Then press “Calibration start”.
Calibra'on start
5. This is an important step. At this step, you need to
remove the scan object
and adjust the turntable position so
that the laser line passes through the turntable center.
Follow the animation appeared
on the App, it’s a lot easier than
you think.
6. Click “Done” once the step 5 is completed. Then, the
turntable will automatically enter calibration mode. This
process will take 20 seconds, please do not move the
turntable during the calibration process.
The turntable will spin during
the calibration process. Don’t
worry you are not left behind,
this process will only take 20
seconds
7. Once the calibration is over, you may put the scan object
onto the turntable and press “Start Scan”.

The scan procedures indicated below is just a glimpse of the powerful Phiz App. Phiz App can 3D scan under various
algorithms, you can share the 3D scans on Phiz App or even slice them for 3D printing! Please explore the Phiz App in greater
detail!

Mesh Procedures
Using KIRI Innovation’s cloud service, the Phiz App allows you to create watertight 3D models out of the 3D
scanning, ready to 3D print. The process of converting the Point Cloud files to Watertight 3D models is
called ”Mesh Procedure”
1. Navigate to “Library” -> “Point Cloud”
tab, find the point cloud file you would
like to mesh.
2. Click “Mesh” to prepare for mesh 3. If you are new to the meshing
process, just leave all parameters as is,
and click “Upload”
Please note by using KIRI Innovation’s cloud service, you will upload the point cloud file to our server for
meshing needs. We are committed to protecting our users’ privacy and we strictly follow our privacy policy

4. When finished uploading, you can check the tasks in
“Library” -> “Mesh” tab.
An under-going task will have a status of either “Queuing”
or “Processing”. A finished task will have a status of
“Success”, ready to view.
5. In about 10 mins, the task will be completed. Click on the
file to download the 3D models. You can also share the 3D
models to others or to your computer by using
