5. Istruzioni per l'uso

5.1 Modalità di scansione

The MetroX Pro offers four distinct scanning modes to accommodate various object types and scanning requirements:

Four Scanning Modes of Revopoint MetroX Pro

Figura 4: Oltreview of the four scanning modes.

  1. 30 Cross-line Lasers: Ideal for efficiently capturing flat, shiny, or dark surfaces at up to 2 million points per second.
  2. 15 Parallel Lines: Used for capturing fine features, edges, and complex surfaces with enhanced detail.
  3. 62-line Full-field Blue Structured Light: Enables marker-free scans of feature-rich objects at up to 7 million points per second.
  4. Auto Turntable: Provides one-click automated scans for complex objects, including color-accurate scans using the HD RGB camera.

5.2 Modalità di tracciamento

Select the appropriate tracking mode based on the object's characteristics:

  • Monitoraggio delle funzionalità: Suitable for objects with rich surface details.
  • Monitoraggio dei marcatori: Best for flat surfaces or objects lacking distinct features, using physical markers.
  • Global Marker Mode: Enhances accuracy for complex shapes by utilizing a global marker system.

5.3 Scansione di superfici scure o lucide

The MetroX Pro's blue laser modes allow direct scanning of dark or shiny surfaces without the need for scanning spray.
