Software Download
To use your Revopoint MINI 3D Scanner, you must download the Revo
Scansoftware. It can be found on Revopoint’s website for Windows and
macOS systems, and for Android or iOS smartphones, it can be found
by searching for “Revo Scan” in the Google Play or Apple App Store.
For the detailed functions of Revo Scan, please refer to the how-to-use
guide in Revo Scan.
ScanningDark, Transparent, or Reflective
Objects
Like most 3D scanners, the MINI will struggle to scan transparent,
reflective, or black objects without first treating the object's surface
with scanning spray, baby powder, or dry shampoo.

Scanning Objects with Plain Surfaces
Scanning objects with simple geometric features, like a football or wine
bottle, requires using Marker stickers or marker points and scanning in
Marker Mode.
1. Place markers at random distributions on the surface of objects, and
it is recommended to place them at a distance of 2~4 cm. Refer to the
image below:
2.Place the Marker stickers on the objects’ surface irregularly and
ensure that there are at least 5 Marker stickers in the frame for the
entire scan, or the scanner will lose track.
3. Alternatively, reference objects (these are any objects with distinct
features that can be easily tracked) can be used. Place 1 to 3 reference
objects around the item you are scanning for the 3D scanner to track.
If doing this, you can use the scanner in Feature tracking mode for the
scan.
Color Scanning
If you want to accurately capture an object’s color during a scan, please
ensure that the object is evenly lit with soft light and that there are no
dark or hard shadows.

About the Scanner
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.
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.
