3DMakerpro 3D scanners are designed to be user-friendly and efficient, making high-quality 3D scanning accessible to everyone. Whether you're a beginner or a professional, following these step-by-step instructions will help you get the best results from your 3d scanning.
Step 1: Set Up Your Scanner
Before scanning, ensure your 3DMakerpro scanner is ready for use.
✔ Unbox and assemble the scanner according to the manual.
✔ Connect it to your computer or mobile device.
✔ Install the necessary software (like JMStudio) for scan processing.
???? Tip: Make sure you have a stable surface for scanning to avoid distortions.
Step 2: Prepare Your Object
✔ Place your object in a well-lit environment (avoid harsh shadows).
✔ Ensure the object is stable and does not move.
✔ If scanning shiny or dark surfaces, use a scanning spray to enhance visibility.
???? Tip: For small objects, use a turntable to rotate them smoothly.
Step 3: Adjust Scanner Settings
Each 3DMakerpro scanner comes with adjustable settings to improve scan quality.
✔ Select the scanning mode (texture, color, or structure-only).
✔ Adjust the resolution depending on your project.
✔ Set the scanning speed – slower speeds provide more detail.
???? Tip: Use the AI denoising feature to remove unwanted noise from scans.
Step 4: Start Scanning
✔ Move the scanner slowly and steadily around the object.
✔ Scan from multiple angles to capture all details.
✔ If using an automated turntable, let it complete a full 360° rotation.
???? Tip: Watch the real-time feedback on your screen to adjust the scan as needed.
Step 5: Process the Scan Data
Once scanning is complete, refine the scan using 3DMakerpro’s software.
✔ Align and merge multiple scans for a complete 3D model.
✔ Clean up errors and remove unnecessary artifacts.
✔ Export the file in STL, OBJ, or PLY format for 3D printing or editing.
???? Tip: Use Blender, MeshLab, or ZBrush for additional refinements.
Step 6: Export and Use Your 3D Model
✔ Save your final scan in a format compatible with 3D printing, modeling, or animation software.
✔ Import the file into your preferred CAD or 3D editing software.
✔ Print the model using a 3D printer or use it for digital projects.
Conclusion
Using a 3DMakerpro 3D scanner is straightforward with the right steps. Whether you're scanning for 3D printing, design, or industrial applications, following these guidelines ensures high-quality results. With practice and the right settings, you’ll master 3D scanning in no time!
