Product Profile
Introduction
The newly developed POP 2 3D scanner has gathered functions of a handheld 3D scanner and a desktop 3D scanner,
bringing together the company's latest scientific research results. It adopts self-developed 3D camera hardware technology
and high-speed intelligent chip, which contributes to a higher performance and directly outputs accurate depth information
of an object.
The core hardware of POP 2 applies the principle of binocular & Micro-structured light, and with the help of the proprietary
micro projecting chip, POP 2 ensures fast acquiring high-accuracy (up to 0.05mm) 3D point cloud data. And it supports
texture scanning to directly generate vivid 3D models for color 3D printing. As of intelligent algorithms, POP 2's built-in
high-performance 3D calculation chip can effectively ensure smoothly scanning without stalling even if it is used with an
ordinary computer.

process software for postprocessing the scanned 3D models; the Revo Calibration is a Calibration Software that adjusts the
parameters of POP 2 for ensuring good results.
� The post-process software- Revo Studio and calibration software– Revo Calibration will be introduced successively, and the related
instructions will be available then. Revo Studio and Revo Calibration user manuals are not included in this one and will be brought to you
separately.
① Scan: Access the Preview, New Scan and Model List functions. The ‘Preview’ command displays the
POP/POP 2’s scanning as currently configured. The ‘New Scan’ command brings up the configuration
popup (see Section 2 on page 9). The Model List command lists the library of stored scans with the
option to perform various operations on individual files or in Batch mode.
② Guide: Present the User Manual, Quick Start Guide and Scanning Tips, plus a link to the latest software.
③ Support: Provide links to the Online Help, FAQ and Forum, plus a link for Feedback. The Online Help allows our
Customer Service Team to support Users in a timely manner, and Feedback is linked to the Revopoint
email [email protected] , to submit ideas or any other feedback about our products.
④ System Settings: Specify language and data storage location, plus the hardware accelerated rendering switch for the
computer’s GPU.
⑤ About: Display the version information for the POP/POP 2 and Revo Scan, confirm or configure Wi-Fi and
report bugs.
⑥ Status Bar: Display the POP/POP 2’s connection status, connection mode and scan readiness.
⑦ Display the content for the operation specified in ①, ② or ③.
2. New Scan
① Name: Display the default name of the model to be created. Rename it as needed.
② Location: Display the file folder of the model to be saved. Change as needed.
③ Import an external model: Turn on and click “Browse” to import a 3D model in .PLY, .OBJ or .STL formats
into Revo Scan to continue scanning and capture more details.
④ Scanning Settings:
Accuracy: Fast Scan and High-Accuracy Scan
Fast Scan: Faster scanning, but the accuracy in this mode is relatively lower than with High-Accuracy
scans.
High Accuracy Scan: Added to meet users' needs for higher-precision data capturing. In High Accuracy mode, the
processing time for point cloud fusion/mesh/texture operations will be relatively longer.
Scan Mode: Include Features, Markers, Face, Head, Body and Dark
Feature: Designed to scan objects with unique shapes such as sculptures and easily-identifiable features.
Marker: Designed to scan objects that have large, smooth areas or regularly-repeating features that could fool the
POP/POP 2’s internal pattern recognition capabilities. Flat planes like a board or symmetrical objects like balls
or bowls are usually suitable to scan with this mode. Place tracking markers irregularly on or around the
objects. Remember to distribute the markers so they do not have repeating patterns because the scanner
determines the relative location of each frame of point cloud data by identifying the unique patterns formed by
the markers. Plan ahead to keep six or more markers (the red dots in the display) in view for each frame during
the scanning process.
Dark: Designed to scan objects with darker surfaces, such as black or dark gray clothes, black boxes, etc. However,
not all dark objects can be successfully scanned. One example would be black leather shoes because leather
3. Scanning UI
After clicking “OK” on the New Scan popup, the real scan UI shows:
① Name: Display the Name specified in the New Scan configuration popup.
② RGB Camera: Display the image captured by the RGB Texture camera.
Note: The Grid option aids in positioning the object to be scanned so that the cameras can see it.
③ Depth Camera: Display the 3D point cloud data that can be captured with the current Exposure setting.
Note: The Clip Plane option is designed to remove unwanted planes in the scene such as the
turntable, desktop or floor. Objects with significant flat areas can fool this tool, so it may be
necessary to untick this option.
④ 3D Model
Preview Window: Display the 3D model data that will be captured when scanning starts or all of the data that has
been captured after scanning has started. The view of the model may be dragged or zoomed in
the 3D Model preview area by the mouse (Left Mouse Button: Rotate the model; Wheel: Zoom
in/out).
� The text icon” Save The Settings” is used to keep the Scan Settings in New Scan and Parameters in Scanning UI.
4. Model List
① Model Viewing Area: Lists all models scanned, creation timestamps and status.
The icon sequence means that the model has completed scanning.
The icon sequence means that the model has been scanned and its point cloud has been fused.
The icon sequence means that the model has been scanned, fused and meshed.
The icon allows users to open, rename, delete and export the model.
② Import Project: Import a 3D model into the model list.
③ Thumbnail preview: Select a model in the ① Model Viewing Area and its thumbnail displays in this area.
④ Details: Display the model’s scan information.
⑤ Batch Processing: Select more than one model and process (fuse, mesh and texture) them in one go.
Note:
Underexposure ( in Blue) Perfect Overexposure ( in Red)
Complete/Restart Scanning
Click and the "Complete" button in the popup to fuse the point cloud data, or press the “Restart” button to delete the
data and return to the Preview section (p. 8).
After clicking Stop, it is possible to resume scanning (say, after repositioning either the POP/POP 2 or the object being
scanned). 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.
Inactive button in the Stop’s popup (so that Fusing is a manual operation, allowing changes in the preset):
After clicking “Complete”, the next step is to fuse the point cloud data, as shown below:
Click the drop-down arrow to display the Fuse setting. The smaller the point pitch, the better the result. But the point pitch
of the fused object cannot be smaller than the point pitch of the original scan. The pitch point is at a minimum of 0.1 mm for
the POP 2. Smaller pitch points result in higher resolution, but also more processing time.
Mesh
Click to start converting the scanned point cloud data into a mesh.
In the drop-down box, settings for Mesh Quality and Denoise are provided:
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.
Texture
The Texture function only applies to scans made with the "Colorful" option selected (see New Scan options on p. 9).
Click to apply texture to the model.
Export
Click to export the 3D model.
Select a file name and. a file format (.PLY, .OBJ & .STL, are supported).
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.
Operation Tips
Lose Track
If the "Few Point Amount" prompts appear, check whether the distance between POP 2 and the object is too close or too far
and adjust the distance between the POP 2 and the object so that the distance indicator highlights “Excellent” before
scanning is continued.
Detect Plane
This prompt appears when a plane or object with too few features is scanned and the POP 2 cannot properly relate the
frame’s point cloud to the other frames. If no usable data has been scanned, the best course of action is to Stop scanning,
select Restart to clear out the useless data, then start a new project, this time selecting Marker mode after attaching markers
to the scanning surface or the surrounding area to solve this problem. If a significant amount of scan data has been acquired,
then pause the scan, use Undo as necessary to eliminate the chaff, then Stop, Complete and Export the scan data before
continuing in Marker mode.
Undo/Redo scan
If a point cloud alignment error appears in scanning, you can click “Undo” repeatedly to the point that the 3D model is
clean enough to continue or save. Otherwise, if the point cloud is deleted more frames mistakely, you can click “Redo”
to find them.
Continue Scan
·Continue Scanning After Point Cloud Fusing:
It is possible to continue scanning an object after the point cloud data has been fused. This can be necessary if the scanning
controller (a computer or smartphone) runs out of RAM to capture more frames or if holes in the scan data are discovered.
This process can be repeated as needed until the model meets your requirements.
Batch Processing
"Batch processing" improves workflow by automatically applying the same settings for each operation to a selected group
of scanned models.
Fast speed: the model processing will be completed as quickly as possible;
High accuracy: while the model processing, the accuracy has priority over other elements.
Custom: Users can adjust the parameters of point distance, mesh quality and denoise to get the models needed.
Keyboard Shortcuts
Press the "Space Bar" on your computer keyboard to toggle between Start and Pause.
