The operating temperature of this product is 0°C to 40°C. It does not meet the standard operating temperature for

military-grade application, which is required to endure greater environment variability. Operate the product appropriately

and only for applications that it meets the operating temperature range of that grade.

What Can Scan and What Can't Scan

1. What Can Scan

(1)Objects with plenty of geometrical features and complex shapes.

(2)Objects with simple geometric features (scan with Markers)；

2. What Can't Scan

Revo POP Series 3D scanners are optical devices, not suitable to scan glass, transparent or reflective objects; in case

scanning them, further processing is needed. The following are objects that can’t be scanned directly:

POP 3D Scanner User Manual

（1）Transparent objects( cups, glasses etc.);

（2）Shining objects with metal/plating surfaces;

（3）Objects easily deformed (soft bags, etc.);

(4) When the sun beats down.

POP 3D Scanner User Manual

3. How to Process Unscannable Objects

(1) Spray scanning spray:

(2) Apply powdery substances (liquid foundation, flour, etc.);

Examples for processed objects:

How to Scan Black Objects

When scanning black objects, the " Dark" mode is recommended.

In “Dark” mode, the "Auto" is invalid. Please adjust the brightness manually based on default values.

1. Scan Objects with Black but Diffuse Surfaces

a. Click “New Scan”;

b. Select "Dark" mode；

c. Click “OK” in New Scan page;

d. Adjust the distance to be Excellent.

e. Adjust the Sun Icon to display a proper brightness in the preview window of the RGB camera and depth cameras;

f. Start to scan.

g. Complete scanning and export the scanned 3D model.

POP 3D Scanner User Manual

2. Scan Objects with Black but Highly Reflected Surfaces

a. Apply a scanning spray to process the surfaces into a diffuse-reflection ones;

b. Select "Dark" mode in New Scan popups;

c. Adjust the distance between the object and the scanner to be in Excellent;

d. Adjust the Sun Icon to display a proper brightness in the preview window of the RGB camera and depth cameras;

e. Start to scan.

f. Complete scanning and export the scanned 3D model.

3. Scan Objects in Black and White

When scanning objects in black and white or objects in dark color, it’s recommended to select "Dark" mode to

complete it. Here we will scan a black-and-white Panda as the example:

a. Select "Dark" mode in

New Scan popups.

POP 3D Scanner User Manual

b. Adjust the distance

between the Panda and

the scanner in

“Excellent”;

c. Adjust the brightness for the RGB camera and depth cameras;

Note: Make sure more points

(both black and white areas)

shown in the depth camera

window.

d. Start to scan;

e. Scan Panda;

POP 3D Scanner User Manual

1) Scan for the first

rotation;

2) Press "Pause"to

3) Scan for the second

rotation;

4) Complete scanning;

( if it’

s necessary, you

can mesh

and texture

map the model after

completing scanning.)

How to Scan with Markers

Introduction

Objects with geometrical features and complex shapes, scan with "Feature" mode directly.

However, when scanning objects like cups or boxes with simple geometric features, scan with markers. And select

"Marker" mode.

Scanning Methods

There are three scanning methods:

1. Stick markers on the surface of an object;

Here follows a car scanning video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2GPHCrbNdhE

2. Place an object on the desk with markers.

3. Place an object on a turntable with markers.

POP 3D Scanner User Manual

In the 2 &3 methods, the relative position of an object and a turntable/desk cannot change. To ensure that, you

shall export several models of an object to merge a complete 3D model.

Scan an Object with the Markers on a Turntable

For example, we scan a cup (with simple feature):

a. Raise the tripod to make

the POP and markers

being approximately 45°-

60°;

b. Select "Marker" mode;

c. Adjust an "Excellent"

distance;

d. Adjust the brightness in

preview windows of

RGB camera and depth

cameras;

e. Scanning;

The First Model Scanning

POP 3D Scanner User Manual

1) Start to scan;

2) Make sure Markers

valid (more than five

red dots in the center

window);

3) Complete scanning;

4) Export 1st model;

Name the model Cup 1, save in ply., obj., or stl.;

The Second Model Scanning

POP 3D Scanner User Manual

1) Turn the cup over;

2) Start to scan;

3) Scan the 2nd rotation;

Note: Make sure Markers

valid (more than five red

dots in the center

window);

4) Export the 2nd model

in ply., obj., or stl.;

Merge the two models in Revo Studio;

1)Models imported in

Revo Studio;

2)Mark on models;

The number of mark

points shall be more than

POP 3D Scanner User Manual

3)Click “Apply” to merge

the two models into

one;

Note:

1) Scanning repeatedly can't help the accuracy, and only a closer distance can improve it.

2) If necessary, you can scan more than 2 models to merge them into a complete one.

How to Scan Small Objects

Scan Small Objects

Keep a closer distance while scanning small objects.

Note: Scanning repeatedly couldn't help the accuracy, and you can improve it by adjusting to a closer distance.

The following are scanning steps:

1. Scan at a proper distance in the range of Excellent;(100-250mm)

2. Adjust the brightness in RGB and depth camera display area ("Auto" first, then to "Manual”).

3. Scanning

a. Scan for the first rotation.

b. Press "Pause”.

c. Turn it over, scan the top and bottom areas;

POP 3D Scanner User Manual

d. Scan the 2nd rotation

e. Complete scanning.

4. Export the model in ply., obj., or stl.

Multiple Scans of a Small Object

When scanning a small object with complex shape features, scan piece by piece and get several models to merge them

into a complete one.

For example:

One: Models Scanning

b. Adjust the brightness of the

6. Complete the 2nd model scanning;

7. Export the model named it as Model

2 in ply. Format.
