Product Overview
Introduction
The Revopoint MINI uses binocular blue light technology to project ultra-high-resolution structured light. The high-
resolution dual-camera system and intelligent algorithm produce an extremely precise and detailed scanned model, helping
professionals quickly achieve accurate 3D data reconstruction. The MINI 3D scanner can output models with a point
distance of up to 0.05mm and a single-frame precision of up to 0.02mm. All of this is achieved with the industrial-level
professional calibration tools.
The MINI is a necessary modeling tool for professionals such as designers, engineers, makers, and medical and scientific
research workers, and dramatically lowers the threshold for 3D creative production, allowing you to quickly build a 3D
digital world while improving modeling efficiency by more than ten times.

Software Installation
Three softwares are provided: Revo Scan, Revo Studio and Revo Calibration. The Revo Scan is a scan software that assists
in scanning objects and obtaining 3D models; the Revo Studio is a post-process software for editing scanned 3D models; the
Revo Calibration Software uses to adjust parameters of the scanner to ensure good results.

Operation Workflow
OVERVIEW (details on following pages): Double Click to open Revo Scan---> Confirm "Device is connected" (displays
after several seconds) ---> Click New Scan to select Accuracy, Scan Mode and Texture ---> Confirm distance to be
"Excellent" ---> Adjust the brightness in RGB camera and Depth Camera ---> Start/Pause Scanning ---> Stop to
Complete/Restart Scanning ---> Fuse Point Cloud ---> Mesh ---> Texture (only available for Color scans) ---> Export the
3D model
NOTE: The screenshots in this tutorial are from the Windows version of Revo Scan. There will be slight differences in each
of the four device versions.
Make sure the MINI scanner is connected to a
USB 3.0+port, because USB 2.0 will not supply
sufficient operating current. An indicator of this is
repeated power resets and lost connections.

Confirm "Device is connected"
After opening Revo Scan, confirm the device connection status:
If the device is connected successfully, the left end of the status bar displays: Device is connected. Otherwise, please check
the connection. This happens typically 5-6 seconds after the scanner’s status LED on the rear panel turns blue.

Click New Scan to select Accuracy, Scan Mode and Texture
Once connected successfully, the device is ready to scan. Configure the desired operational characteristics as described in
Section 2. New Scan (see p. 9-10) of the UI Introduction.
Confirm distance to be "Excellent"
After specifying the Accuracy, Scan Mode and Texture options, press “OK” to enter the scanning page. The top area of the
3D Model Preview window shows the distance. Position the MINI scanner or the object to confirm an "Excellent" distance
and keep it during scanning. Higher-resolution scans are possible in the “Too near” range, but tracking is more likely to be
lost.

Adjust the brightness in the RGB Camera and Depth Camera
Adjust the Sun Icon on both of the smaller displays (for Android and iPhone smartphones, click on the Gear icon in the
upper right of each small window to make the controls visible). If available, try Auto first, but switch back to Manual before
capturing data to prevent lockups.
Note:

Start or Pause Scanning
Click /to Start/Pause scan. The number above the Start button is the countdown before scanning starts.
During scanning, please make sure the point cloud in the lower-left window is adequate and the distance remains
"Excellent". Move the scanner slowly and deliberately during scanning while keeping a relatively fixed distance. Already-
scanned sections of the model are displayed in blue. Unless there are holes in the scan, there is no advantage to continuing
to scan a blue area (and it will waste memory and processing time).

Complete/Restart Scanning
Click and the "Complete" button in the popup to fuse the point cloud data, or press the “Restart” button to delete the
data and return to the Preview section (p. 8).
After clicking Stop, it is possible to resume scanning (say, after repositioning either the scanner or the object being scanned).
If this is desired, then be sure to move the slider switch for “Fuse point cloud immediately?” to the right before clicking
“Complete”. The scan data will be fused into a point cloud immediately. After this, meshing the point cloud data or resume
scanning are available.

Inactive button in the Stop’s popup (so that Fusing is a manual operation, allowing changes in the preset):
After clicking “Complete”, the next step is to fuse the point cloud data, as shown below:
Click the drop-down arrow to display the Fuse setting by Anto and Manual modes. The smaller the point pitch, the better the
result. The minimum pitch can be adjusted up to 0.02 mm for the data. Smaller pitch points result in more resolution, but
also more processing time.

Mesh
Click to start converting the scanned point cloud data into a mesh.
In the drop-down box, settings for Mesh Quality and Denoise are provided by Anto and Manual modes:
With higher Mesh Quality settings, more details are captured in the resulting model, at the expense of longer processing
times. The higher the Denoise setting, the smoother the result. Depending on the object, high levels of noise reduction may
result in lost detail. The results of the Fill Hole switch may be undesirable if the holes are too large.
Texture
The Texture function only applies to scans made with the "Color" option selected (see New Scan options on p. 9).
Click to apply texture to the model.

File Naming Conventions
Save the 3D model as a .PLY file
NAME.ply (Point Cloud)
NAME_mesh.ply (Mesh no color)
NAME_mesh_tex.ply (Mesh with color)
NAME_mesh_tex.jpg (Texture color image)
Save the 3D model (no Color/Texture) as an .STL file:
NAME.ply (Point Cloud) *
NAME_mesh.stl (Mesh no color) **
*Point clouds are saved in the PLY file format, because STL does not support point clouds
**Color models are not saved in the STL file format
Save the 3D model (with Color/Texture) as an .STL file:
Revo Scan does not support color scans in the .STL file format, so they are saved as .PLY.
Save the 3D model as an .OBJ file:
NAME.obj (Point Cloud)
NAME_mesh.obj (Mesh no color)
NAME_mesh_tex.obj (Mesh with color)
NAME_mesh_tex.mtl
NAME_mesh_tex.jpg (Texture color image)
NOTE:
NAME_mesh_tex.obj, NAME_mesh_tex.mtl & NAME_mesh_tex.jpg are the three components of a color 3D model in the
OBJ file format.
