3. Calibrate the Scanner
3.1. Precautions and Use
Calibration is the process to ensure the device will scan with the optimal accuracy and scan quality.
Each EinScan 3d scanner was factory-tested and achieved, at least, the listed accuracy from the
technical specification according to VDI/VDE 2634 standards.
Besides factory tested guarantee of accuracy, to assure high scanning accuracy, each EinScan is also
coming with a calibration board for customer calibration. This customer calibration is not required
daily often. Only when the first time after scanner and software are installed. Or, when you are in the
following situations, you should calibrate the device:
When the scanner is used for the first time or after long time without using.
When there is strong vibration during the transportation.
When alignment mistake or failure frequent appear during the scanning.
When scanning data is incomplete and quality is much worse during the scanning.
3.2. Operation
After installation, when you open the software for the first time, choose device type and it will enter
the calibration interface automatically. You can also choose Calibration on the navigation bar to enter
calibration process later. If there is no calibration data, click “quit”, the software will prompt “No
calibration data, please calibrate”.
Note:
1. Calibrate the Scanner twice a week for accurate scanning.
2. Make sure to protect the calibration board and keep it clean, no scratches or stains on the black
surface with white circles.
3. The Calibration board is matched to the Device with same Serial Number. Doing the calibration
with an incorrect calibration board will fail to generate good scan data or optimum accuracy.
4. Clean with clear water only, do not use alcohol or chemical liquid to clean the calibration board

Calibration interface
3.2.1. Camera Calibration
Place calibration panel in different orders for scanner’s comprehensive data collection. By collecting
calibration panel data, the Scanner gets cameras’ precise parameters and uses those parameters to
implement precise scanning.
Step 1: Place calibration panel and its bracket at the turntable center. Face calibration panel to
scanning head. Move calibration panel (leftward or rightward, forward or backward) to get the cross
located at the calibration panel’s central area (and meanwhile you can see calibration panel’s whole
image in the camera windows).
Step 2: Click “Capture”. The calibration panel will turn a circle. Do not touch calibration panel.
On-screen instruction during calibration step 1
Step 3: Turn calibration panel 90°counterclockwise as guided in software. Move bracket with panel
to the turntable right side (until the calibration board white edge is aligned with the yellow line shown
on the image).

Step 4: Turn calibration panel 90°counterclockwise after step 2 as guided in software. Move bracket
with panel to the turntable left side (until the calibration board white edge is aligned with the yellow
line shown on the image).
After collecting calibration panel data, the software will calibrate the camera automatically. You will
see the result as below. Calibration will take longer or fail if you did not follow all instructions properly.
When calibration succeeds, click “Next” to move on to the White Balance as the software indicates.

If calibration fails, click “Redo calibration” to start the same calibration again from the beginning.

Calibration failed
Click “Next” to perform white balance as the software indicates.
3.2.2. White Balance
To capture an accurate color texture, White Balance calibration should be done every time when the
lighting environment is changed.
Place a sheet of white paper as shown below on the calibration plate and click “white balance test”.
White Balance calibration interface
To guarantee a good texture, the white paper must be kept clean.
If the texture doesn’t give you satisfaction, please optimize the lighting environment and redo White
balance.
You will see the result as below. Click “Next”to new a scan project.
White Balance result
Place a white paper at a proper distance(290mm - 480mm), adjust the brightness according to the
camera view, click “white balance test”to start.

Shining 3D EinScan SE/SP_User Manual_3.1.1

After white balance, check the color of object in the camera view is the same as the real object. If not,
adjust the brightness again and re-calibrate; If yes, click “Quit”to exit calibration interface.
Note:
Only devices with Discovery module have light box.

4. Before Scanning
4.1. Object
EXScan S can scan objects from 30*30*30mm ^3 to 200*200*200mm ^3 with turntable or scan
objects from 30*30*30mm ^3 to 700*700*700mm ^3 without turntable.
We do not recommend scanning:
moving or vibrating objects, which cause the shape of object changed during scanning process.
Soft material object
lattice structures with many small deep holes
During scanning the shape of the object needs to be maintained without any changes (human bodies
must be held still, for example).
Example of object that is difficult to scan
4.2. Preparation
To align data if geometry features are not sufficient, you need to stick markers or pieces of clay on the
surface of scanned objects to create extra “features”.
When you stick markers on the surface of the object, you need to follow the following rules:
Make sure sticking at least 4 markers in each frame (one scanning field of view). Control the
number of markers seen on the camera view.
Stick markers in a random, non-linear pattern (see example below).
Markers should be stuck on the flat surface area and keep the marker surface flat.
Use the markers provided with the device only. Other markers can result bad accuracy or not to
be seen.
The pure black letters are hard
to be seen by the scanner.
The silver bottom is highly
reflective, so it also hard to be
seen by the scanner.
The can is symmetrical
and has no geometry
features on the surface.
It is difficult for the
software to align the
scanned data.
