Software Download

To use your Revopoint RANGE 3D Scanner, you must download the Revo Scan software. It can be found on Revopoint’s website for Windows and macOS systems, and for Android or iOS smartphones, it can be found by searching for “Revo Scan” in the Google Play or Apple App Store.

For the detailed functions of Revo Scan, please refer to the how-to-use guide in Revo Scan.

Scanning Dark, Transparent, or Reflective Objects

Like most 3D scanners, the RANGE will struggle to scan transparent, reflective, or black objects without first treating the object’s surface with scanning spray, baby powder, or dry shampoo.

Scanning Objects with Plain Surfaces

1. Place the Marker stickers on the objects’ surface irregularly and ensure that there are at least 5 Marker stickers in the frame for the entire scan, or the scanner will lose track.
2. If using markers (these can be anything as long as they have complex features to track), place 2 to 3 around the object you wish to scan.

Color Scanning

If you want to accurately capture an object’s color during a scan, please ensure that the object is evenly lit with soft light and that there are no dark or hard shadows.

About the Scanner

The Revopoint RANGE 3D Scanner is an infrared structured light scanner designed for scanning large objects like cars, people, furniture, etc. Its self-developed chip and intelligent algorithms combined with its more powerful projector and dual IR cameras with aspheric lens enable a single capture range of 360mm x 650mm, a working distance of 300mm to 800mm, a scanning speed of 12fps to 18fps, and a single-frame precision of up to 0.1mm.

LED Indicators

Update the Firmware

When you connect your RANGE to Revo Scan, a pop-up will notify you of any firmware updates. If you want to update your firmware, follow the install wizard’s prompts and ensure that your RANGE has a stable power supply.

Scanner Calibration

Your RANGE 3D Scanner was calibrated in the factory and only needs to be recalibrated after a year of use or if the scanned results do not match the specified accuracy.

Safety Maintenance Instructions

1. Small parts, such as markers and USB adapters, are dangerous if swallowed. Keep all components out of reach of children and animals to avoid serioud injury to them.
2. Store the scanner and all accessories in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
3. Do not allow the scanner to come into contact with or become immersed in water or other liquids. If it gets wet, wipe them dry with a soft, absorbent cloth. Operating a scanner that has fallen in water may cause permanent component damage.
4. Keep the cameras (the two IR cameras, one RGB camera and a projector) clean. Use 95% isopropyl alcohol and a soft cloth to clean them.
5. Handle the scanner with care to avoid hitting the cameras.
6. The operating temperature range of this product is 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F).
7. Do not take apart the scanner. If there are any problems or questions, contact the Revopoint customer service team at customer@revopoint3d.com.

Troubleshooting

1. What to do if you get a “check internet connection” error when trying to download a firmware update?

Check your device’s Firewall Settings and confirm Revo Scan is not being blocked or the Firewall is off. Try to open api.infly3d.com in a web browser. If you can access this website, it means Revopoint’s server is working correctly.

2. What to do if my RANGE turns on but its LED never turns solid green, indicating that it’s ready to connect?

Connect your RANGE to a power source, then press the RANGE’s Start/Pause scan button ten times to reset the RANGE. If that doesn’t resolve the issue, please get in touch with customer support.

3. What to do if the RANGE always loses tracking when scanning?

Try using scanner spray, dry shampoo, or baby powder to lightly coat any shiny or dark surfaces on the object. If the object has plain surfaces, you’ll need to place Marker stickers (place them irregularly and ensure that at least five will always be in the frame when you’re scanning) and select Marker mode for the scan. Ensure your model has no deep shadows and is evenly lit with a soft light.

4. What to do if the object you want to scan isn’t clear in the preview window?

Increase the brightness in Revo Scan till the object looks clearly defined and has as few red and blue patches in the preview window as possible.

5. What to do if your scanned model’s surfaces lack detail or the details are smeared?

Unfortunately, you’ll need to redo the scan, but be careful and ensure you only scan an area once rather than multiple times. Basically, the smaller the number of frames, the better the scan quality. Scanning the same spot twice will only lower the detail.

6. What to do if you keep running out of memory when scanning?

The object you’re scanning is too large for your computer or smartphone’s amount of RAM. If this happens, pause the scan, fuse the model, and start a new scan from where you had to pause your previous scan. These separate scans can be merged together in Revo Studio to make a whole model once you’ve finished scanning the object.

7. How do I reset the scanner?

Connect your RANGE to a power source, then press the RANGE’s Start/Pause scan button ten times to reset the RANGE.
