1 Introduction to Handheld 3D Scanner
1.1 Product Overview
Handheld 3D scanners typically include a light source (laser or white light, etc.),
a structured light projector, two (or more) industrial cameras, a computing unit
for 3D digital image processing,and a calibration plate for calibrating the
above-described devices and attachments such as mark points. The industrial
camera obtains the 3D data of the object based on the principle of machine
vision, and uses the point information to automatically splicing the data to realize
the basic 3D scanning and measuring functions. The handheld 3D scanner is easy
to carry, free to use, and has great practicality.
The handheld 3D scanner produced by Hangzhou Sikan Technology uses
multiple wire lasers to acquire the 3D point cloud on the surface of the object.
The operator holds the scanner and adjusts the distance and angle between the
scanner and the measured object in real time. The system automatically acquires
the image. Measuring the 3D surface information of the object. The scanner can
be easily carried to an industrial site or a production floor, and efficiently and
accurately scanned according to the size and shape of the object being scanned
and the working environment of the scan.
1.2 Product Series
The HSCAN series of handheld 3D scanners are the basic products. When
scanning large objects, they can be used with the global photogrammetry system
to eliminate accumulated errors.

2
Based on the above, the PRINCE series handheld 3D scanner has a red and blue
two-color laser. It also has two modes: red light fast scanning and blue light fine
scanning. The two modes can be quickly switched, scanning efficiency and local
details can be obtained.
AXE series of handheld 3D scanners use a multiplexed lens and a built-in
photogrammetric module to complete high-precision scanning of medium and
large objects without any equipment.
KSCAN series 3D scanner with built-in red and blue two-color laser and
photogrammetry system module, with global photogrammetry, red light fast scan
and blue light fine scan mode, greatly optimized the maximum scan size and
scanning accuracy, providing a full-size solution from 0.02m to 10m industrial
measurement. The scanner supports contact measurement, which can acquire
high-precision 3D data of key parts such as hole position, plane and boundary.
The supporting ScanViewer software is equipped with measurement and analysis
functions such as tube measurement and deformation detection, providing
efficient, reliable and comprehensive 3D measurement technology support for
product design and inspection professionals.
This manual mainly introduces the use of KSCAN series 3D scanner (hereinafter
referred to as KSCAN scanner, KSCAN or scanner).
1.3 Working principle
The KSCAN scanner is an instrument that uses the binocular vision principle to
obtain a spatial 3D point cloud. The working position is obtained by using the
mark points to obtain the spatial position of the scanner and the measured object,
and the laser light is emitted by the laser emitter to illuminate the surface of the

3
workpiece to be scanned, and then the industrially calibrated industrial camera
captures the reflected light, and is calculated. Shape data of the workpiece.
KSCAN includes infrared band and blue band. One of the infrared band is
adopted by the photogrammetry mode, the other and the blue light band are used
by infrared and the blue laser modes respectively. There is a certain angle
between the two cameras of the scanner. The fields of view of the two cameras
intersect to form a common field of view, and also it’s called the reference
distance, while the common focal range is called the depth of field. In general,
the reference distance and depth of field of the scanner are related to the
instrument, and the specific values are subject to the actual test data of the
equipment. And the laser band and the resolution also related to them. The
common reference values are as shown in Table 1-1.

2 Precautions before using
This chapter provides a brief description of the product configuration,product
structure, and device connections of the scanner.
2.1 Product Configuration
Remove the scanner from the outer packaging and verify that the following
standard items are included in the safety enclosure.
Standard configuration:
KSCAN 3D Scanner: The appearance is shown in Figure 2-1.
Figure2- 1 Composite 3D scanner
Calibration plate: mainly used to calibrate camera parameters. To ensure good
data quality, the camera needs to be calibrated before the scanner starts to use or
when temperature changes or scan data quality is poor. The shape of the
calibration plate is shown in Figure 2-2.

5
Figure2- 2 Calibration plate
USB cable: The DC interface is connected to the power adapter to supply
power to the scanner;the Type A interface is connected to the computer and the
scan data is transmitted to the computer; and the Type B interface is connected to
the scanner. The shape is shown in Figure 2-3.
Figure2- 3 USB cable
Power adapter: Connect to the device via a USB cable to provide external
power. The outline of the power adapter is shown in Figure 2-4.
Figure2- 4 Power Adapter
Mark point box: There are several circular mark points in the box. The mark
points are used for pasting on the scanned workpiece for scanner positioning,
wherein the φ6mm mark point is used in the red light fast scan mode, and the
φ3mm mark point is used in the blue light fine scan mode. The shape of the

6
marker box is shown in Figure 2-4.
Figure2- 5 point box
12mm mark points: there are several Φ12mm mark points in the waterproof
box, which are used in the infrared remote scanning mode. The outline of it is
shown in Figure 2-6.
Figure2- 6Φ12mm mark points
Coded mark points: refers to a set of points with certain alignment rules and
coding information. In the global photogrammetry mode, the coded mark points
are randomly placed on the workpiece to be measured, and the photogrammetry
work is performed with the scale bar. Each coded mark point is a
black-and-white point and consists of 7 reflective white circles. The software
recognizes these coded points and displays their number. The outline of the
coded mark is shown in Figure 2-7.

Figure2- 7 Coded mark points
U disk and dongle box: used for device U disk and dongle. The shape is shown
in Figure 2-8.
