When working with objects up to 20 cm in size, a rotary table is used on each axis. To digitize larger objects: up to 70 cm on each axis, the device is placed on a tripod. In this case, the user controls the operation, since he needs to manually rotate the object. The scanner works at a certain distance, so it does not require the application of stickers.

The device differs from the Einscan-SE – the calibration process of RangeVision NEO is a bit more complicated, due to its design features. In the Chinese model, the scanner is connected to a turntable; in the Russian device, such a bundle is not provided. Another difference is the size of the working field. RangeVision digitizes objects up to 1000 mm in size on each axis. In this case, stickers are applied to the surface of the item. The device scans in color and black and white, can work with a turntable. The accuracy of the resulting model is 60 μm.

Preparing devices for work

The advantage of both devices is the simple preparation for scanning and calibration, which the user can handle without the experience of such work. To calibrate the EinScan-SE you need to adjust the positioning of the subject and white balance.

Positioning calibration consists of several simple steps:

  • installing the calibration board on a stand fixed on a working turntable;
  • starting the process in a program on a PC;
  • repeat the action with the rotation of the board for calibration ninety degrees.

A prerequisite is the constant position of the stand until calibration is complete.

To adjust the white balance, you must install the device in front of a white sheet of paper. The rest of the work is done automatically.
