Product Overview
Introduction
The newly developed POP 2 3D scanner has gathered functions of a handheld 3D scanner and a desktop 3D scanner,
bringing together the company's latest scientific research results. It adopts self-developed 3D camera hardware technology
and high-speed intelligent chip, which contributes to a higher performance and directly outputs accurate depth information
of an object.
The core hardware of POP 2 applies the principle of binocular & Micro-structured light, and with the help of the proprietary
micro projecting chip, POP 2 ensures fast acquiring high-accuracy (up to 0.05mm) 3D point cloud data. And it supports
texture scanning to directly generate vivid 3D models for color 3D printing. As of intelligent algorithms, POP 2's built-in
high-performance 3D calculation chip can effectively ensure smoothly scanning without stalling even if it is used with an
ordinary computer.

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 postprocessing the scanned 3D models; the Revo Calibration is a Calibration Software that adjusts the
parameters of POP 2 for ensuring good results.

PC: Connect to POP 2 3D Scanner
Both Mac and Windows PC can be connected to POP 2 3D scanner via USB cable and Wi-Fi. In the following chapter, we
are going to introduce the USB mode and Wi-Fi mode connections: for USB mode, we will take the Windows device
connection as the example, and for the Wi-Fi mode, take the Mac device connection as the example.
Windows: Connect to the POP 2 3D Scanner via USB Cable
Hardware Connection
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 (Auto first, if available, then Manual) --->
Start/Pause Scanning ---> Stop to Complete/Restart Scanning ---> Fuse Point Cloud ---> Mesh ---> Texture (only available
for Colorful 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 POP 2 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 8-10 seconds after the POP/POP 2’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.
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 POP 2 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.

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 areas of the model are displayed in blue. And the current capturing frames are in green. Unless there are holes in
the scan, there is no advantage to continuing to scan the 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 POP/POP 2 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 Point Cloud 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:

POP 2 3D Scanner User Manual
11 COPYRIGHT ©2022 REVOPOINT 3D ALL RIGHTS RESERVED
Click the drop-down arrow to display the Fuse setting. The smaller the point pitch, the better the result. But the point pitch
of the fused object cannot be smaller than the point pitch of the original scan. The pitch point is at a minimum of 0.15 mm
for the POP 2. Smaller pitch points result in more resolution, but also more processing time.
Mesh
Click Mesh to start converting the scanned point cloud data into a mesh.
In the drop-down box, settings for Mesh Quality and Denoise are provided:
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 "Colorful" option selected.
Click Texture Mapping to apply color information of the scanned object to the model.

Export
Click Export to export the 3D model.
Select a file name and a file format (. P LY, .OBJ &. STL, are supported).
Note: If you scan the model for 3D print, please mesh the model and save it as a STL. file.
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.
