Product Overview
MotionCam-3D is a high accuracy and high resolution snapshot 3D area scanning device for large work areas
that can be in motion.
The product is based on a patented CMOS sensor and Parallel Structured Light technology developed by
Photoneo. It provides the scanning quality of structured light devices with the ability to scan dynamic scenes.
The scanning process consists of capturing the scene under the laser illumination and processing and transfer
of the 3D data to the computer running the driver software (see section PhoXi Control).
General Information
General information about the device and the manufacturer can be located on the back panel of the device.
Label with manufacturer address, product name, and model, CE, FCC, WEEE
and RoHS marks, country of origin and input options.
⚠ WARNING
Hot surface warning
The surface of the processing unit may become hot to touch when the device is in use. Mount the device on a
metal mounting plate that will act as a thermal bridge to dissipate the heat or use the carbon body to
manipulate the device.
11/2020
Laser Device
The laser projector aperture is located at the right side of the front panel of the device (Figure 1). The aperture
is clearly marked with a warning label. Do not look directly into the laser projector while the device is in use.
To avoid unauthorized contact with the device or unintentional viewing of the laser beam, it is recommended
to locate the device in a restricted area and take measures to restrict laser light exposure to the surroundings.
Although diffuse reflections are not harmful, users should remove mirrors, polished objects, and similar items
from the vicinity of the device to avoid specular reflections.
All components of the device, including those sourced from 3rd party suppliers, conform fully with all
applicable European directives and regulations.
The device uses the following labels and warning systems. Apart from the laser aperture label, all are located
on the back panel of the device.
⚠ WARNING
This device is a laser product. Do not deliberately look into the laser beam. This may cause injury to the retina.
The use of protective eyewear is usually not necessary. The appropriate laser class label is present on the
back of the device.

Objects Suitable for Scanning
MotionCam-3D uses laser light to acquire 3D data. It can capture dynamic scenes as well as static ones. Smoke
and particles dispensed in the air will negatively influence the 3D data. Always bear in mind that
MotionCam-3D can see no more than you can see with the naked eye.
Objects most suitable for scanning are (including and not limited to):
■rough surface objects, for example, wood, rubber, etc.
■objects with a matte finish, such as sand-blasted aluminum, cast iron, etc.
■molded, un-polished plastic materials.
Some objects not suitable for scanning (including and not limited to):
■mirrors and polished metals,
■most liquids (e.g. water, oil),
■translucent and transparent objects (e.g. glass, transparent plastic)
Laser aperture label. Designates the place from which laser radiation is emitted.
Laser Class 3R devices

■On a tripod using a 3/8-16 UNC screw.
To install MotionCam-3D:
1. Mount MotionCam-3D using any preferred method. Refer to Dimensions and Illustrations.
2. When mounting MotionCam-3D, ensure that an appropriate scanning distance is set between the
MotionCam-3D and the scanned object and eliminate any potential obstacles.
3. Connect MotionCam-3D to the computer or local network and plug it into the power. See the section
Powering the device & Data connection for more details.
4. Download and install the PhoXi Control application from the Photoneo webpage.
5. Run the PhoXi Control application and try to make your first scan. Please refer to the PhoXi Control User
Guide.

Mounting Restrictions
Movement During Scanning
Strong Electric Field
As a general rule, always isolate low-voltage, logic-type devices such as MotionCam-3D from devices that are
high voltage and generate high electrical noise. Carefully consider the routing of the wiring for the devices in
the panel as well. Avoid placing low-voltage signal wires and communication cables in the same tray with AC
power wiring and high energy, rapidly-switched DC wiring.
Clearance for Cooling and Wiring
MotionCam-3D is designed to be cooled through natural convection cooling. In order to ensure adequate
cooling, a clearance of at least 25 mm above and below the device must be allowed. When planning placement
of MotionCam-3D, consider placing heat-generating and electronic-type devices in the cooler areas. By
reducing exposure to high-temperature environments, you can extend the operating life of the electronic
devices considerably.
NOTICE
If several MotionCam-3Ds are connected to a computer with several ethernet adapters, using static IP
addresses on different subnets is recommended.
NOTICE
It is allowed to mount MotionCam-3D on moving constructions or robotic arms. MotionCam-3D is able to
capture dynamic scenes as well as static scenes
NOTICE
It is recommended to mount MotionCam-3D on a metal plate that will act as a thermal bridge and dissipate
the heat produced by the processing unit away from it.

Configuration
PhoXi Control
PhoXi Control is a computer application that acts as a driver for the Photoneo scanning devices. It allows the
user to control the MotionCam-3D manually through graphical user interface or programmatically through the
provided API.
The GUI is primarily used to set up the scanning environment, to configure advanced scanning parameters and
to visualize the output. In addition, the GUI can also be used as a powerful debugging tool for development
with the API. Calls to the API trigger the same response in the GUI as user inputs. After triggering the scan by
calling API method, the application will execute the scan, send it as an output of the call and display it
simultaneously in the GUI.
The API serves as a central platform for building custom applications for PhoXi 3D Scanners and
MotionCam-3Ds. In order to facilitate the development process and reduce computing demands all
computations are performed on the device itself.
