Prepare Your Hardware
Ensure all scanning rig components (cameras, sensors, markers, cables) are physically stable, connected securely, and powered adequately. Verify mounting brackets are tightened and check all input power sources.
Synchronize Software and Devices
Install the latest manufacturer drivers and workstation software. Power on the scanning rig first, then launch the application. Navigate to the connection settings menu within the software.
Optimize Lighting and Environment
Ambient lighting directly impacts scan accuracy. Eliminate strong backlight and direct sunlight. Use diffuse, even lighting if possible. Ensure the capture volume is clear of reflective surfaces or unnecessary movement.
Calibrate and Test
Execute a full calibration sequence per the rig manufacturer's protocol. Conduct brief test scans on an object to verify data quality, alignment, and camera focus before starting critical work.
Initiate Rig Lock Sequence
Within the software, locate the specific scan rig Lock or Initialize function. Follow the on-screen prompts precisely. A successful lock is confirmed by:
- Steady status indicators on hardware.
- A connected state shown in the software interface.
- Ability to stream live preview data.
Only proceed to main tasks after a confirmed lock.
