Before your first scan, or if you experience tracking issues, it is crucial to calibrate the scanner using the included lithographic calibration board. The Revo Scan 5 MetroX software provides a quick calibration utility to ensure reliable accuracy for every scan.

1. Place the calibration board on a flat, stable surface.
2. Follow the on-screen instructions within the Revo Scan 5 MetroX software to perform the calibration process.
3. Ensure the scanner is positioned correctly relative to the board as guided by the software.

6. Ашиглалтын заавар

6.1 Сканнердах горимууд

The MetroX offers four effective scanning modes to manage various object types and surfaces:

• Cross Lines Mode: Utilizes 14 crossed blue laser lines for detailed scanning of challenging surfaces, including dark or shiny objects, at up to 60 frames per second (fps).
• Parallel Lines Mode: Employs 7 high-powered parallel blue laser lines to accurately capture every fine detail on surfaces.
• Full-field Mode: Provides rapid capture rates of up to 7 million points per second using 62 lines of structured light, ideal for geometrically rich or featureless objects.
• Auto Turntable Mode: Enables fully automated, metrology-grade scanning when used with the Dual-axis Auto Turntable. This mode captures high-density point clouds and color data for accurate 3D reconstruction.

6.2 Tracking Modes

MetroX supports three tracking modes to optimize scanning for different object characteristics:

• Feature Tracking: Best for objects with rich geometric details. No markers are needed.
• Marker Tracking: Ensures accurate scans for plain, featureless surfaces by using adhesive markers.
• Global Marker Mode: Offers improved volumetric accuracy for complex objects by utilizing a network of markers.

6.3 Програм хангамж дууссанview (Revo Scan 5 MetroX & Revo Design)

The Revo Scan 5 MetroX software is the primary interface for operating your scanner. It provides advanced tools for point cloud scanning, fusion, meshing, editing, import, and export. It supports numerous file formats for compatibility with third-party tools like Quicksurface and Geomagic Wrap, streamlining CAD workflows.

Revo Design, powered by Quicksurface software, is an efficient CAD tool that integrates seamlessly with Revo Scan 5 MetroX. It allows you to convert scanned data (STL, OBJ, PLY, etc.) into ready-to-use CAD models (IGES, STEP), simplifying the scan-to-CAD process for product design and reverse engineering.
