Software Upgrade
Please make sure you’re running the lastest version of software.
User Interface
The user interface consists of the following parts: OTitle Bar Tool Bar Work
Mode 03D Viewer Work Panel Data Panel Status Bar
Shortcut Key
The upper-left area in the 3D Viewer shows you the commonly used mouse and keyboard shortcuts; check all the shortcuts by hovering over this area and clicking the ellipsis below. You can also view or modify more shortcuts by going Settings_Shortcut Key.
Scanner Settings
The first-time scan requires you to calibrate the scanner by importing the calibration file. Before that, please refer to Connect the Cables to ensure the scanner is well-connected. Make sure your PC is networked to download the calib file. For Windows, JMStudio can automatically identify your scanner and download the calib as well; for macOS, it requires you to set the scanner type first then download it. Follow the steps below to calibrate your scanner:
For macOS
In the Title Bar, click File_Import calib and go into Network Download, then
input the device SN and click “Import”. The device SN can be found at the
buttom of the scanner body, then input the letters and numbers and apply to
await the prompt “Import successfully”. Note: Please input the last 7 numbers
if you are using CR-Scan Lizard.
The models that have been added and selectable will show in the Settings- Scanner menu, right corner of the Work Mode panel.You can add multiple models once and for all for future reference. Please make sure the selected calibration file matches your connected model.
Scanning Workflow

Please choose the right scan mode according to the size of the object, for more information: Scan Mode
Objects needing special treatment
In order to get a better scanning result, please use spray, dry shampoo,
powder, etc. on the following types of objects before scanning:
Preview and Adjustment
Click “Start Scanning” in the splash screen and will go into scanning preview.
In the preview, the Work Panel will switch into “Adjust” panel.
In order to get a best scanning result, please carefully read through the following instructions.
Scan Mode
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.
For Whale
We suggest you scan an object of arround 20x20x20cm at your first attempt. If
the data cannot be captured or the software says “tracking lost”, please
follow the above sheet to adjust the distance between the scanner and the
object, and make sure the latter is clear of clutter. If the scanning goes
well, please adjust the scanner’s angle and confirm again; if not, please
contact us. Choose “Wide” or “Micro” for the Work Mode in the Work
Panel_Adjust. Work Mode Wide Micro
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.
Working Distance
The distance indicator on the left side of the 3D viewer can help you find the
optimal woking distance.
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.
Brightness
Use the slider to adjust the brightness to a proper level in the Work
Panel_Adjust_Brightness.
Sensitivity
Use the slider to adjust the Sensitivity to a proper level in the Work
panel_Adjust_Brightness. Sensitivity is a parameter to control how sensitive
the scanner is to light, affecting the quality of the scan data. Normally set
high sensitivity when scanning dark objects, as it allows the scanner to pick
up more details while also making the scan data noiser; it’s often the
opposite at low sensitivity. We can adjust this parameter to balance the data
quality and noise reduction according to the type and color of the target
object.
Easy Scan
Scan
Adjust the scanner’s position and angle to centre the target object in the
preview window; check if they’re kept in a proper distance by focusing on the
distance indicator.

Editing
Data Editing
Before meshing the point cloud data, you can do simple editing on it to delete
excess data and ensure the quality of the model.
Select Tools
Hover your mouse over the Tool Bar on the left side of the interface, here are
a few selection tools available.
Select the Data
Hold Ctrl and press left mouse button in the 3D Viewer to select an area, the
selected place will turn red.
Process the Data
Hover your mouse in the 3D Viewer and right click or click on “Edit” in the
Title Bar to show the menu then edit your data.
- Select All: Select all visible data.
- Reverse Selection: Select the data outside the selected area.
- Boundary Selection: Select an area that falls with a given region or boundary.
*Plane Selection:*
Select all the data on one fitting plane. Clear Selection: Deselect the data.
Plane Selection Plane Selection is for selecting and deleting the turntable
top, floor, wall and other flat surfaces. Watch the tutorials below to learn
more: https://youtu.be/ad_Sch4v54M
Firstly, use the Select Tools to select part of the plane (no need to select the entire plane); right click your mouse and select “Plane Selection” in the menu to automatically recognize the entire plane.
Align
Watch the tutorial below to learn more about Align: https://forum.jimumeta.com/home/tutorial/a911d93894004ba7a618ac0e7b309d04.html
Go into “Align” in the Work Panel and select the align mode.
Auto Manual
Auto Align Select the scans that need to be aligned to in the “Work Panel”.
Drag one in the above highlighted box as the reference, another in the box
below as the floating scan. Click “Align” to merge them together.
Manual Align
Select the scans that need to be aligned to in the “Work Panel”. Drag one in
the above highlighted box as the reference, another in the box below as the
floating scan.
Click “+” in the mark point box to automatically generate three pairs of mark points in the 3D Viewer. Right-click to pick up the points then reposition them, and drag each pair to the place you want until they are matched.Click “Align”:
Process
Check the processing steps needed for your point cloud data in the Work
Panel_Process: [Fusion] Mesh the point cloud data by connecting the dots to
produce a complete model.
[Remove Noises] Clean up the mesh by removing the floating noises from the
scans.
[Repair Gaps] Fill the holes on the mesh to produce a watertight model.
[Simplify] Narrow down the amount of mesh faces to reduce the data size.
[Texture Mapping] Apply the texture or color information onto the mesh
surface. (Colors only available for some of 3DMakerpro models.) Note: here
“Texture Mapping” refers to the texture capturing by the scanner itself. If
you need to do “External Texture Mapping”, please uncheck this step.
Click “Process” in the 3D Viewer after checking the needed steps.
Please select the data to be processed and adjust the refinement of fusion as needed. You’ll be given 7 refinement levels; the higher level you set, the finer results you’ll get, and more triangles in the mesh models. The refinement options are as shown below, use the slider to adjust it and hit “Apply”. Please kindly wait for the data processsing:
