Product Overview

Introduction

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. All of this is achieved with industrial-level professional calibration tools.
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.

Software Installation
Three software are provided: Revo Scan, Revo Studio, and Revo Calibration. The Revo Scan is a scan software that assists in scanning objects and obtaining 3D models; the Revo Studio is a post-process software for editing scanned 3D models; the Revo Calibration Software uses to adjust the parameters of the scanner to ensure good results.

PC: Connect to MINI 3D Scanner

Both Mac and Windows PC can be connected to a MINI 3D scanner via USB cable and Wi-Fi. In the following chapter, we are going to introduce the USB mode and Wi-Fi mode connections: for USB mode, we will take the Windows device connection as the example, and for the Wi-Fi mode, take the Mac device connection as the example.

Windows: Connect to the MINI 3D Scanner via USB Cable
Hardware Connection

Make sure the MINI scanner is connected to a USB 3.0+ port, because USB 2.0 will not supply sufficient operating current. An indicator of this is repeated power resets and lost connections.

Operation Workflow
OVERVIEW (details on following pages): Double Click to open Revo Scan—> Confirm “Device is connected” (displays after several seconds) —> Click New Scan to select Accuracy, Scan Mode and Texture —> Confirm distance to be “Excellent” —> Adjust the brightness in RGB camera and Depth Camera —> Start/Pause Scanning —> Stop to Complete/Restart Scanning —> Fuse Point Cloud —> Mesh —> Texture (only available for Color scans) —> Export the 3D model
NOTE: The screenshots in this tutorial are from the Windows version of Revo Scan. There will be slight differences in each of the four device versions.

Confirm “Device is connected”
After opening Revo Scan, confirm the device connection status:
If the device is connected successfully, the left end of the status bar displays: Device is connected. Otherwise, please check the connection. This happens typically 5-6 seconds after the scanner’s status LED on the rear panel turns blue.

Click New Scan to select Accuracy, Scan Mode, and Texture
Once connected successfully, the device is ready to scan. Configure the desired operational characteristics as described in Section 2. New Scan (see p. 9-10) of the UI Introduction.

Texture Confirm distance to be “Excellent”
After specifying the Accuracy, Scan Mode, and Texture options, press “OK” to enter the scanning page. The top area of the 3D Model Preview window shows the distance. Position the MINI scanner or the object to confirm an “Excellent” distance and keep it during scanning. Higher-resolution scans are possible in the “Too near” range, but tracking is more likely to be lost.

Start or Pause Scanning
Click to Start/Pause the scan. The number above the Start button is the countdown before scanning starts. 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).

If this is desired, then be sure to move the slider switch for “Fuse point cloud immediately?” to the right before clicking “Complete”. The scan data will be fused into a point cloud immediately. After this, meshing the point cloud data or resume scanning are available.

Android Click the drop-down arrow to display the Fuse setting by Anto and Manual modes. The smaller the point pitch, the better the result. The minimum pitch can be adjusted up to 0.02 mm for the data. Smaller pitch points result in more resolution, but also more processing time.

Mesh
Click to start converting the scanned point cloud data into a mesh.

REVOPOINT Mini 3D Professional Bluelight 3D Scanner -
MeshIn the drop-down box, settings for Mesh Quality and Denoise are provided by Anto and Manual modes:
With higher Mesh Quality settings, more details are captured in the resulting model, at the expense of longer processing times. The higher the Denoise setting, the smoother the result. Depending on the object, high levels of noise reduction may result in lost detail. The results of the Fill Hole switch may be undesirable if the holes are too large.

File Naming Conventions

Save the 3D model as a . PLY file
NAME.ply (Point Cloud)
NAME_mesh.ply (Mesh no color)
NAME_mesh_tex.ply (Mesh with color)
NAME_mesh_tex.jpg (Texture color image)

Save the 3D model (no Color/Texture) as an.STL file:
NAME.ply (Point Cloud) *
NAME_mesh.stl (Mesh no color) *
Point clouds are saved in the PLY file format because STL does not support point clouds
Color models are not saved in the STL file format
Save the 3D model (with Color/Texture) as an.STL file:
Revo Scan does not support color scans in the.STL file format, so they are saved as.PLY.
Save the 3D model as an.OBJ file:**
NAME.obj (Point Cloud)
NAME_mesh.obj (Mesh no color)
NAME_mesh_tex.obj (Mesh with color)
NAME_mesh_tex.mtl
NAME_mesh_tex.jpg (Texture color image)

NOTE:
NAME_mesh_tex.obj, NAME_mesh_tex.mtl & NAME_mesh_tex.jpg are the three components of a color 3D model in the OBJ file format.
