1 INTRODUCTION Thank you for purchasing the Sense™2 3D scanner. You can think of scanning as a sort of physical photography. By scanning a physical object, you can create a 3D digital model. Unlike traditional photography, however, you can use the digital model to return to the physical mode by sending the image to a 3D printer. You can also use Sketchfab and Facebook to publish, share, and embed interactive 3D files you create.
WARRANTY No warranties of any kind are created or extended by this publication. 3D Systems warrants that the Sense 3D scanner will be free from defects in materials and workmanship, during the applicable warranty period, when used under the normal conditions described in the documentation provided to you, including the respective User Guide. 3D Systems will promptly repair or replace the Scanner, if required, to make it free of defects during the warranty period.
3 SENSE SCANNER SETUP Unpack and set up your scanner and scanner software before you get started with the basics of scanning. WHAT'S INCLUDED The box contains the Sense 3D scanner with attached USB cable and the Quick Start Guide. Remove the scanner from the box and plug the USB cable into your computer. DOWNLOAD THE SENSE SOFTWARE Navigate to http://www.3dsystems.com/shop/sense/downloads, and follow the instructions to complete the software download and installation.
SENSE SCANNING TIPS AND TRICKS 4 Many practices that ensure good photography also apply to scanning. Use the following tips to get the most from your scanning experience: LIGHTING • Different lighting conditions can affect the quality of a scan. The Sense for Intel RealSense 3D scanning application is designed for indoor use, and will work less than optimally in direct sunlight. • Position your subject in a way that will cause as little shadow as possible.
HOW TO SCAN 5 This section will give you all of the details relevant to scanning, editing, and sharing your model. SCAN MENU BAR A B C D E A File View opens the files you have saved within the application. It presents you with thumbnail previews of each of the OBJ files. B Log In to or Log Out of your Sketchfab or Facebook account. C Options Menu brings up a menu to adjust various parameters of the application. See details below. D Help displays the Help menu.
ADVANCED SETTINGS The Advance Settings dialog boxes, available from Settings Menu > Advanced Settings..., give you access to several options pertaining to the Scan Data and Interface. Scan Data • Geometry Resolution - move the slider from low to high to adjust the resolution of the scanned image. The higher values will consume more processing power and memory, and may cause delays in the scanning process.
SCAN SETTINGS The application provides the following choices in order to optimize your scan: OBJECT HEAD BODY Object: any item other than a person. Head: a person’s head and shoulders Body: a person’s full body THE SCANNING USER INTERFACE Data within the Scan Volume When an object is contained inside the specified volume, it will appear in full color. Objects outside this range are grayed-out and fade into the background.
Data Build-up During scanning collected data will appear as “green” snow over top of the object or person. Tracking Indicators If you move too fast or too slow while scanning, a message box will appear instructing you to move slower and the collected scan data on screen will turn yellow. Lost Tracking Indicators Occasionally, the software will lose tracking of the scanned object. This occurs when you move too fast while scanning or when the object falls outside of the camera’s view.
SCANNING PROCEDURE Start, Pause, Restart, and Finish Controls Scan: begin the scan Pause: pause the scan. Continue: resume scanning after Pause. Restart: start a new scan during a scanning session Finish: complete the scan Scanning an Object 1. Ensure that you have 360°-access to the object and that the room is well lit.
