5. How long are MetroX’s cables?
MetroX’s power cable and USB cable are both 3 meters long, providing enough length to move freely around the item being scanned.
6. Do I need to use markers during scans?
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 3 to 4 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.
7. How do I use the scanner cradle?
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.
8. How do I use the Marker Block Kit?
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.
9. How do I use the Dual-axis Turntable or the Large Turntable？
The MetroX's Auto Turntable mode operates with the Dual-axis Turntable or Large Turntable.
