Chapter I. Introduction
RayScan handheld laser 3D scanner is handheld design, using multiple laser line
grid projected on the surface of the object, through the high-speed, high-
resolution industrial camera for data acquisition, through the 3D scanning software
to calculate the object's three-dimensional point cloud, to obtain the object's three-
dimensional data. Scanning is free and flexible, the whole process is completed
handheld, without the need for a tripod or other support devices. Adopt motion
viewpoint, convenient for users to observe the real-time scanning situation. The
with a beautiful and generous appearance, and the overall equipment is easy to
carry.

The product mainly has the following advantages:
1) Scanning is fast;
2) Non-contact measurement;
of frame points;
4) Equipped with a global error control module, which can globally control the

1.4 Warnings
For your convenience, please read the instruction manual carefully and follow
the steps in the manual to prevent dangerous situations and injury to the operator
and equipment. Please keep this manual in a safe place in case you want to refer to
it again. Our company provides upgrading service for you from the beginning to
the end, no matter there is any problem when you use it, please contact us
according to the service telephone number and address on the last page of the
The scanner specifies that the power adapter operates on 220V, 50HZ, so
make sure that the power supply meets the requirements of the machine
before use.
Do not place the scanner in direct sunlight, near heating devices or heat
radiation devices.
Keep the scanner in a dry area away from dust and moisture.
Do not hit the scanner measuring head section with hard objects.
PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 2
Do not touch the surface of the calibration block with hard objects or
chemicals.
Do not look directly at the laser emitter while the machine is in use to avoid
eye damage.

1、 Problem: Opening the program prompts that the dongle cannot be found.
Solution: 1. Check whether the dongle is inserted in the correct USB interface
position and whether it is loose; 2. Contact the manufacturer to check whether the
Solution: The splicing accuracy exceeds the error allowable value (if the accuracy
requirement is not high, the allowable error of the splicing marking points can be
changed in the system setting), and there are fewer than 4 markings on a single
side or fewer than 4 markings on a common part. Post more logo points, and make
surface of the object. 2. The gain is too small or the luminosity of the camera is too
PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 2
small when calibrating. The gain should be increased or the brightness should be

is not enough, it may be the calibration board or equipment lens with dust, this
Solution: 1. Change the brightness of the laser; 2. Change the brightness of the fill-
in lamp; 3. Check whether the scanner or calibration plate has a clean surface
without impurities.
