1) Incorrect Examples
2.2 How to Place an Object (Using the Agrippa Bust as an Example)
Cluttered Background Don't hold the turntable by hand, as the object
will be unstable.
Incorrect Color Scans
- Dim lighting conditions are bad for color
scanning.
Incorrect Color Scans
- Uneven illumination will a&ect texture
mapping.
07
2) Correct Examples
The surroundings are clear of any clutter and
consistently lit.
Using Magic Mat or black bin bag as the
background, and ensuring consistent and even
illumination.

2.3 How to Setup the Scanning Environment
Connect the scanner to a PC
and attach it to its tripod.

3.1.1 Standard Accuracy
3.1 Scan Accuracy
1) In Standard Accuracy mode, the post-processing time will be longer, but the results are more
suitable for applications needing more detail.
2) Object Type Suppo!ed in Standard Accuracy Scans
General Object, Dark Object, and Face (Refer to the Object Type section for more details)
3) Advantages and Disadvantages
09
Advantages:
1. High scanning accuracy.
2. Captures much more of the object's details.
Disadvantages:
1. A lower scanning frame rate leads to lower scanning e"ciency.
2. The scanned model takes up a lot of memo#, and post-processing takes a long time.
1) In High-speed(18 fps) mode, the scanning speed can be up to 18 fps and is suitable for scanning
large objects and people.
