Introduction
ThankyouforchoosingRangeVisionproduct.
Please read this manual before using RangeVision 3D scanner. Here are described the
procedures for preparing the scanner, installing the required drivers, calibration
procedure, scanning procedure, and tips for acquiring high-quality three-dimensional
object model.
Informationmaybeamendedfromtimetotime.Thesechangeswillbe inserted into the
