Markers are crucial for laser scanning mode, while structured light scanning often doesn't require them, especially for objects with many features. However, using markers provides more stable alignment. When placing marker points, arrange them in an irregular pattern, ensuring a 6 to 7 cm distance between each marker on the object. Always have at least five marker points visible in the frame while scanning. For best accuracy, attach the markers to flat surfaces rather than curved ones. Also, please avoid using soft pads or cloths with markers.
In Auto Turntable mode, you can finish a scan without moving the scanner by using a turntable, attaching the scanner cradle to the tripod, and mounting the scanner on it.
You can put the marker blocks around or on the object to quickly create a marker-rich scanning environment for scans using marker tracking. Note that at least five markers must face the scanner directly at each scanning angle.
The MetroX's Auto Turntable mode operates with the Dual-axis Turntable or Large Turntable.
When connecting them to Revo Metro, you can set the number of rotations, the capture interval, the speed, etc.

Wearing goggles prevents you from seeing the laser lights during scanning, making it more comfortable and protecting your eyes.
Yes, the goggles can be used over glasses. However, this depends on the size of your glasses. If they are too large or wide, it may prevent the goggles from fitting properly.
Yes, the hardware is the same. You can use it in Auto Turntable mode with the MetroX.
Yes. Here are three ways to use the Large Turntable:
① Connect the Large Turntable via the accessory menu in Revo Metro and control it using the Auto Turntable mode.
② Use its remote control for operation.
③ Control the turntable's speed and direction via the mobile app Revo Assistant. Download it from your phone's app store or find it on Revopoint's website at revopoint3d.com/pages/support-download.
No, due to its design, the MetroX cannot be connected to the Handheld Stabilizer.
MetroX supports markers with an inner diameter of 6.0 mm and an outer diameter of 10.0 mm, as well as those with a 3.0 mm inner diameter.
MetroX's power cable and USB cable are both 3 meters long, providing enough length to move freely around the item being scanned.
No, due to its design, the MetroY / MetroY Pro cannot be connected to the Handheld Stabilizer.
MetroY / MetroY Pro supports markers with an inner diameter of 6.0 mm and an outer diameter of 10.0 mm.
MetroY / MetroY Pro's power cable and USB cable are both 3 meters long, providing enough length to move freely around the item being scanned.

You can put the marker blocks around or on the object to quickly create a marker-rich scanning environment for scans using marker tracking. Note that at least five markers must face the scanner directly at each scanning angle.
1. Place markers 6 - 7 cm apart. If the object is too small to place markers on, use the Dual-axis Turntable or Marker Block Kit or place markers around it. Avoid using soft pads or cloths with markers.
2. Don't use too many markers, but ensure that at least 5 markers are placed irregularly per scanned frame.
3. Try to place more markers at the key locations, such as the edges, grooves, and other complex surfaces.
4. Ensure there is sufficient marker coverage before starting the scan, and none of the markers are covered.
5. Ensure the markers are securely stuck and have no lifted edges.
6. Avoid markers on curved surfaces to prevent deformation.
7. Don't use markers under direct sunlight, as the reflective light will affect the scan results.
8. Repeated use of sticky markers is not advised, as their adhesive weakens and can shift during scans, disrupting tracking.
9. For scans with high accuracy requirements, it's recommended to use markers with an inner diameter of 6 mm. Note: Mixing different sizes of markers may affect the scan's accuracy.
Calibrating your Revopoint 3D scanner using the Calibration Board to ensure accuracy. Before scanning, it's suggested that the scanner's accuracy be checked using the Calibration Board after entering the calibration program. Below are the basic steps:
(1) Power the scanner and connect it to a USB 3.0 port on a PC using the USB Type-A to Type-C Cable and Power Adapter that came with your scanner.
(2) Download and install the latest version of Revo Metro software to your computer and open it.
(3) Place the Calibration Board on a flat and stable surface and ensure the pattern on the board is clearly visible.
(4) Enter the calibration program. First, scan the QR code to import the Calibration Board's information, then check the scanner's accuracy. If the accuracy check fails, follow the on-screen instructions to complete the calibration.
The Standard Edition is ideal for fixed setups and PC operation; the Premium Edition adds a Phone Holder, 2-in-1 Mobile Cable, Power Bank Handle, and Quick Release Plate for flexible mobile device use.
INSPIRE 2 supports markers with an inner diameter of 6.0 mm and an outer diameter of 10.0 mm.
Markers are required for laser scanning. When placing marker points, organize them in an irregular pattern. Always ensure at least five marker points are visible in the frame during scans. For optimal accuracy, attach the markers to flat surfaces rather than curved ones. Also, avoid using soft pads or cloths with markers. INSPIRE 2's structured light mode does not require markers when scanning feature-rich items. However, markers are needed when scanning featureless items, i.e., objects with flat, plain surfaces or repeating patterns.
The 4,000 mAh lithium battery provides approximately 3 hours of continuous operation, making it ideal for extended outdoor work.
