In the 3DeVOK Studio software, what are the factors that affect the processing time of point clouds?
Two primary factors significantly impact point cloud processing duration:
- Resolution: Higher resolutions(smaller values) increase processing time.
- Scanning Duration: Longer scans directly result in longer computation times, for every frame captured is being processed after finishing scanning.
What is the difference between the “Partial Data Retention” and “Complete Data Retention” options below the “Complete” button?
Below the “Finish” button, there are two options: “Partial Data Retention” and “Complete Data Retention” When processing data, the software defaults to “Partial Data Retention”
Partial Data Retention: Only retain point clouds displayed as green in color map
Complete Data Retention: Retain all data including point clouds displayed as red in color map
The texture appears too dark after turning off the color camera fill light. How to fix this?
When the texture dims due to disabled fill light, adjust the color camera’s exposure brightness in the Real View on the right to compensate.
What measurement tools are available in 3DeVOK Studio?
3DeVOK Studio offers four measurement modes: volume, circumference, area, and distance. Additionally, it provides a data alignment feature to adjust object coordinates, which can be found in Mesh Project.
Why does the 3DeVOK MT standard calibration require 4 expansion accessories?
The first six steps of the standard calibration involve calibrating the laser lines. When the scanner is raised to a certain height, the laser lines on the edges may extend beyond the master plate, causing the laser lines to disconnect. To address this issue, the 4 expansion accessories is used as an accessory to ensure proper calibration.
How to check WiFi channel signal strength in wireless-router connections?
Follow these steps to measure WiFi channel signal strength:
- Download and install a WiFi analyzer tool (e.g. WiFi Analyzer)
- Open the software and navigate to the “Analysis” interface
- Switch to the 5GHz band to view channel quality
- Interpret signal strength indicators:
- Blue (more stars): Strong signal
- Yellow/Red (fewer stars): Weak signal
You may optimize by selecting the recommended channel
- Important Notes:
- Router/AP positioning, height, and surrounding obstructions all affect signal strength
- Regular detection and channel optimization are recommended
Why is marker-based alignment in 3D scanners more accurate than texture-based alignment?
Marker-based alignment achieves higher precision than texture-based alignment primarily due to its stable positioning method and stronger resistance to interference.
- Marker-based alignment:
This method involves placing high-contrast fixed markers (such as reflective dots or specially coded points) on the object’s surface, providing the scanner with clear spatial references. These markers have precise and stable positions, ensuring highly accurate alignment of scanned data and minimizing cumulative errors.
- Texture-based alignment:
Texture-based alignment relies on matching visual features such as colors and patterns on the object’s surface. While it can capture rich detail, its performance degrades on smooth surfaces, uniformly colored areas, or repetitive textures. Additionally, environmental factors like lighting and reflections can affect texture stability, further reducing alignment accuracy.
How to determine whether the “exposure” parameter in the scanning settings is appropriate?
Click on the camera view button at the top right corner of the software to view the real-time brightness of the laser line. Based on the brightness of the laser line, adjust the brightness in the real-time parameters section on the left sidebar.
Note:
Left: Underexposed, which results in failed point cloud generation
Middle: Optimal laser brightness for scanning
Right: Overexposed, which leads to poor point cloud generation, rough data surface and excessive noise
What is the difference between Auxiliary Fiducial Markers and Markers (Hybrid Alignment)?
- Auxiliary Fiducial Markers requires at least one marker at every FOV, while hybrid alignment only necessitates markers in areas with insufficient geometric features. Theoretically, the former requires more markers than the latter.
- Auxiliary Fiducial Markers prioritizes marker detection first in order to prevent geometric feature misalignment. While Hybrid Alignment recognizes texture first, then geometry, markers the last.
In the QUICKSURFACE software, how can I delete the excessive individual mesh data (floating-point data) with one click?
1. Select “Edit Scan Data”（Access the scan data editing module）
2. Click “Edit”（Identify floating/sub-mesh datasets）
3. Select target primary mesh → Click the “①” button
Retain only the designated principal mesh
Result: Non-selected secondary mesh data will be permanently deleted.
In Geomagic Wrap software, how can I view the white geometric model from textured OBJ data?
- Navigate to the “Display” interface in the left-side floating panel
- Uncheck the “Custom Textures” option
