Preview and Adjustment

ScanMode
In Easy Scan, you can operate the scanner flexibly to scan large sized objects in irregular shapes; in Table Scan, the scanner works with tripod and turntable to scan small sized objects and free your hands.

Please choose the right scan mode accordingly, and keep a proper working distance as follows. 3DMakerpro-MagicSwift-Plus-Swift-PLUS-3D-Scanner-

Choose “Easy Scan” or “Table Scan” in the Work Mode.

Slam Mode
Choose “Geometry Mode” if the scanned object is bumpy and has great geometic features; while choose “Texture Mode” when scanning objects with vivid colors, patterns and textures. Please choose the right slam mode for your target objects. 3DMakerpro-MagicSwift-Plus-Swift-PLUS-3D-Scanner-

Working Distance
The distance indicator on the left side of the 3D viewer can help you find the optimal woking distance. 3DMakerpro-MagicSwift-Plus-Swift-PLUS-3D-Scanner-

Set the depth range of data aquisition in the Work Panel_Adjust_Depth of Field.

Locate the Object
The preview window on the top right of the 3D viewer helps you locate the object. Make sure it fully exposed in the preview window. 3DMakerpro-

Select the scans in this pop-up window and click “Apply” to start the data processing.

Reorientate

Reorientate your 3D model by going into the work panel_Reorientate. Three mark points will be automatically created to generate a plane; drag the points to reposition them but not put in a line; flipping direction in the work panel_Reorientate; click “Reorientate” on the 3D viewer.

In the Work Panel_Reorientate, there are other settings such as changing the view types, moving the plane, rotating the model and deleting the highlighted excess data below the plane.

Drag four anchor points to reposition the plane, and drag the arrow in the middle to move the plane vertically; click “Apply” if you are satisfied . 3DMakerpro-MagicSwift-Plus-Swift-PLUS-3D-Scanner-

Export the Model

Click “Export” in the Title Bar_File or the export icon in the Data Panel to export the model.

Click “Yes” in the pop-up, will go to reorientate the model if checking “Reorientate Axis”. JM Studio now supports model exported in obj, stl and ply format, stay tuned for more available formats.
