Product Profile
Introduction
The POP handheld 3D scanner adopts a proprietary 3D camera module and an embedded chip to deliver accurate and fast 3D scans. This scanner
is designed to be compact and portable, with multi-mode scanning capabilities. It meets the requirements for product development, prototyping,
3D printing and artistic creation.
The Revopoint POP 3D Scanner utilizes Binocular Structured Light, ensuring that the acquired 3D point cloud data features are of high accuracy.
The highest single-frame accuracy can reach 0.3mm. A set of depth cameras, with two IR sensors and one projector, can quickly obtain the 3D
shape of objects, and one RGB camera is used to capture texture information. This device supports high-precision and texture scanning modes,
allowing you to generate vivid 3D models directly.

User Interface
1. Navigation Bar: Presents scanner status (Preview/Scan/Finish) and About (version information).
The POP must be connected for all of the information to be displayed.
2. Scanning Distance: Too near, Excellent, Good, Too Far.
Placing the POP so that it is in the Excellent zone will have the best balance of coverage and resolution. Adjust the
optimal distance according to the prompt.
3. RGB Image Display: Display the image captured by the RGB Texture camera.
4. Depth Image Display: Present the 3D point cloud data that can be captured.
Brightness and Gain can be manually adjusted for best results (the areas not displayed in red will return point cloud
data while scanning). Some Scan Modes allow for Automatic adjustment to find the best setting, but it is
normally best to switch to Manual before scanning to prevent exposure variations that interfere with data capture).
5. Function Buttons:
New: Define a new project. Specify the Scan Mode (Feature, Marker, Face, Body or Dark and whether to capture color
data or only the shape of the scanned object.
Open: Input a previously-scanned 3D model.
Start/Pause: Start or pause scanning.
Stop/Complete: Stop the current scanning project. A popup will allow choosing between completing the scan (fusing the Point

Cloud) or deleting the entire project to start over.
Undo: Undo several scanned frames of the model at a time. Unlimited Undo operations, but there is no Redo.
Delete: Delete all scanned frames, but not the project definition. Remains in same Scan Mode to continue the project.
Mesh: Maps the scanned 3D point cloud data into planes or triangles.This operation can also be performed in Handy
Studio with higher resolution.
If "No Color" was selected when the Scan Mode was defined, the model only consists of point cloud and mesh
information.
If the "Color" option was selected, then the model will also contain the color information of each point.
Texture: Match pixels of the picture on the mesh model to improve the texture and color resolution.
Export: Export the completed 3D model.
6. Clip Plane: Remove unwanted planes in the scene such as turntable, desktop, or floor. But if you want scanned objects containing
planes, please untick this option.
7. 3D Model
Preview Window: Display the current 3D model data. The view of the model may be dragged or zoomed in the 3D Model preview area
by the mouse (Left: Rotate the model; Wheel: Zoom in/out).
8. RGB Background: Hide or show the background in the 3D Model Preview window.
9. Home: Reset the view of the model to the default position in the 3D Model Preview Area.
This is determined by the first scanned frames of the object.
10. Frame Count: Display the frame count of acquired 3D model data. The maximum number of frames that can be scanned in one
batch is determined by the memory of the computer or mobile phone.
11. Point Cloud

Scan Mode Introduction
The differences among these 5 modes are mainly exposure and gain settings:
·Feature mode:Designed to scan objects with unique shapes such as sculptures and easily-identifiable features.
·Marker mode:Designed to scan objects that have large, smooth areas or regularly-repeating features that could fool the POP’s internal pattern
recognition capabilities. Flat planes like a board or symmetrical objects like balls or bowls are usually suitable to scan with this
mode. Place tracking markers irregularly on or around the objects. Remember to distribute the markers so they do not have
repeating patterns because the scanner determines the relative location of each frame of point cloud data by identifying the
unique patterns formed by the markers. Plan ahead to keep six or more markers in view for each frame during the scanning
process.
NOTE: *Marker mode is not available with the Wi-Fi (Hotspot) connection (the data link is too slow for the interactive
procedure used by this mode to track the patterns).
·Face mode:Designed to scan the human face. The exposure and gain are set according to typical skin reflectivity (no Automatic exposure
adjustment).
·Body mode:Designed to scan a human body or larger objects from a greater distance than is used for the other modes. The exposure and
gain are set accordingly (no Automatic exposure adjustment).
·Dark mode:Designed to scan objects with darker surfaces, such as black or dark gray clothes, black boxes, dark hair, etc. However, not all
dark objects can be successfully scanned. One example would be black leather shoes because leather absorbs light (or they are
so shiny that they reflect too much light). The exposure and gain are set accordingly (no Automatic exposure adjustment).
Scan Parameters
Adjust Camera Parameters
·Color Camera:(Upper left preview window) Select "Auto" first, then "Manual" to obtain a decent image quality, avoiding over or

underexposure.
·IR camera: (Lower left preview window) When available, switch to "Auto" to find the best overall exposure and then to "Manual" to
prevent Handy Scan from continually adjusting the exposure during the scanning process and possibly locking the user
interface.
The top area of the 3D model preview window shows the distance. Place the POP scanner or the object to confirm an "Excellent" distance and
keep it during scanning. If you want better details than the standard, you can move the POP closer to the object, but tracking can be a problem.
Keep the distance at “Excellent” during scanning. Using the “Too
near” distance does create a model with higher accuracy, but it is
also more likely to lose tracking.
Make sure the infrared image (lower left) and point cloud image
(center window) are identical.
Click “Auto”first, then “Manual”.
May enter infinite loop if “Auto”is left on. If the point cloud (center window) is empty, click
the HOME icon to re-center the model on the
screen.

Operation Workflow
Start a New Project
Click to start a new project: Select the Scan Mode and Texture.
Place an object on a table → Connect POP to
your PC → Start Handy Scan → Click "New"
to start a new project → Select "Scan
Mode" and "Texture" → Adjust the distance to
"Excellent" → Adjust parameters (Auto first,
then Manual) → Click "Start" to scan →
Click "Stop" to complete scanning →
(optionally) "Mesh" → "Texture"
(Only available for Color scans) → Click
"Export" to output the 3D model (3 file
formats supported: .ply, .stl and .obj.)
Select the desired "Scan Mode" and
“Texture” according to object type.

POP 3D Scanner User Manual

Color: The object to be scanned has both color and shape information in the scanned 3D model.
No color: The scanned model has no color information; only the shape information is captured.
“No color” is by default. If you want a color 3D model, please be sure to select "Color" in the Texture section.
Start/Pause Scan
Click / to Start/Pause scan. The number above the Start button is the countdown before scanning starts.
Before scanning, please remove all distracting objects and make sure no irrelevant stuff is in the scanning area.
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).

POP 3D Scanner User Manual
15 COPYRIGHT ©2021 REVOPOINT 3D ALL RIGHTS RESERVED
While scanning, the 3D Model preview window (center) will display the captured data (shown in blue) and the current data (shown in green).
The currently-scanned area (lower left window) will not display the already-scanned portion of the model that is seen in the 3D Model preview
window.
Stop Scan
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.

Meshing
Click to start converting the scanned point cloud data into a mesh. This is an optional step; the Handy Studio app can also mesh the point
cloud data, and will do so at a higher resolution, but it will take longer to process. Handy Scan was designed to process at a lower resolution on
computers and smartphones to reduce processing time and to increase workflow.

Operation Tips
Miss Track
If the 3D Model Preview window displays a "Miss track" notice during scanning, please re-target the POP 3D scanner to a previously-scanned
area (blue) and keep still for several seconds so that the POP can re-acquire tracking. When the red portion of the display changes to green,
scanning can resume.
Too Few Points
If the "Point Amount Few" prompts appear, check whether the distance between POP and the object is too close or too far and adjust the distance
between the POP and the object so that the distance indicator highlights “Excellent” before scanning is continued.
When a "Miss Track" warning is displayed, please re-target the POP camera
back to a scanned area (blue) and keep still for several seconds to re-acquire
tracking. Resume scanning when red changes to green.
