Click "New Scan" on File Management page and select corresponding tracking mode as needed.
• Feature Scan: Aligns data by identifying the geometric features on the object's surface. For objects with distinct surface features and no repeating patterns.
• Marker Scan: Aligns data by identifying the spatial location of the markers placed on or around the object's surface. For capturing large flat surfaces that don't have distinct details. It must be used with marker points as tracking aids.
• Global Marker Tracking: It is suitable for larger objects with indistinct geometric features. There are two steps: first, scan the markers to create global marker coordinates, and then scan the object based on these coordinates.
Global Marker Tracking Tutorial Video (For reference only)
¶ 4.2 Scanning Parameters Settings
¶ 4.2.1 Scanning Accuracy
• High Accuracy: For capturing highly detailed objects. (Slower than scanning in standard accuracy mode.)
• Standard Accuracy: For capturing simple objects that don’t have complex and detailed surfaces.
• High-speed (18fps): For capturing larger objects or people/body parts quickly with faster frame rates and smooth frame stitching.
Note: Accuracy settings available, scanner speed, and size of the object capable of being captured are dependent on the scanner's model.
¶ 4.2.2 Object Type
• General: This is the standard object type. Pick this type if the object doesn't match the other options below.
• Dark/black Objects: Scan objects with dark surfaces, such as black or dark gray clothes. When using the Full-field or Auto Turntable scanning mode, some shiny dark items which will absorb or reflect light may still need to be treated with scanning spray to make them scannable.
• Faces: Designed for scanning human faces. (If using a MINI-series scanner, avoid staring directly at the projector for extended periods at close range.)
• Body: Scan people.
• Large: Scan larger objects quickly. Only available for certain scanners in high-speed accuracy mode.
Note: Different scanner models support varying object types and sizes.

: Click to cancel the scan.
/
: While paused, click to undo (Ctrl+Z) or redo (Ctrl+Y) scan data adjustments.
¶ 5. Model Editing
Model editing offers both One-click Edit and Manual Editing modes. One-click Edit provides quick results, while manual editing offers higher flexibility for high-quality outputs.
¶ 5.1 One-click Edit
Revo Scan 6 has a powerful One-click editing feature that can automatically process the model or allow manual parameter adjustment for point cloud editing and mesh editing.
Click "Apply" or "One-click Edit" icon to perform the relevant operations.
Note: The “One-click Edit” function is recommended for the first few scans.
¶ 5.2 Point Cloud Edit
Point cloud processing helps clean up and refine the raw scan data, performing operations like point cloud fusion and removing isolated points, to produce a high-quality base point cloud for later meshing and model creation.
¶ 5.2.1 Fusion
Fusion is fusing the raw scan data captured by the scanner into a unified point cloud model.
Point Distance: The average distance between the adjacent points in a fused model. Revo Scan 6 will suggest an optimal point distance for each scan, but different values can be specified depending on your requirements.
Larger point distance results in fewer model details, while smaller point distance produces more model details but also increases data volume.
Note: If model merging is required, it is recommended to maintain similar point spacing across all models when configuring their respective point spacing settings to enhance the merging effect.
Remove Marker (Marker/Global Marker Scan): After starting this function and selecting the inner diameter of the corresponding pasted markers, the software will automatically detect and remove the raised point clouds on the model surface caused by the occlusion of the markers. The larger the inner diameter of the markers is, the larger the hole left after removal.
Note: The imported Revo Scan 5 files only support selecting markers of size 6 mm.
After setting the point distance, click "Apply" or "Fusion" icon to perform the Fusion function.
¶ 5.2.2 Point Cloud Isolation
Click the drop-down button to detect and remove the isolated point cloud data disconnected from the main point cloud model (see the red area in the figure).
Isolation Rate: The percentage of points within isolated point clouds relative to the total number of points. Setting a higher rate will detect more isolated point clouds.
¶ 5.2.3 Point Cloud Overlap Detection
Click the drop-down button to identifie and delete overlapping data in the point cloud for a more consistent model. It can be used repeatedly to simplify point cloud data.
Vertical Distance: The distance between the overlapped point cloud noise and the captured surface area. If it's less than the set value, it's considered noise and removed. If it exceeds the set value, it's not removed.
¶ 5.2.4 Point Cloud Smooth
Removes noise from the point cloud to make it smoother.
A higher smoothing strength results in a smoother point cloud but may lead to the loss of more details.
Note: For feature-rich models, excessive smoothing may result in loss of details (see the figure below).
¶ 5.2.5 Point Cloud Simplify
Reduces the density of the point cloud and the amount of data for more manageable processing, storage, and sharing. There are two different downsampling methods:
• Uniform: Removes the set percentage of points across the model evenly.
• Geometric: Intelligently identifies flat or plain surfaces in the point cloud and will remove the set percentage of points from these areas while leaving more complex areas alone to maintain the details.
Ratio: The percentage of simplified point cloud data to the total amount of data. Setting a higher ratio will delete more point cloud data from the model.
Note: Selecting a too large ratio may impact the model's quality.
¶ 5.2.6 Mesh
Fast Meshing: The software recommends parameters based on the point distance calculation and performs triangulation on point cloud data to quickly generate a mesh model. Ideal for scenarios where a quick preview of the mesh is needed.
High-quality Meshing: It performs triangulation on point cloud data using custom quality settings to generate a mesh model.
• Grid Size: The mesh model's density and level of detail. Setting a higher value results in a denser and more detailed mesh model but spends more time.
• Hole Filling (Auto): Revo Scan 6 automatically identifies and fills holes on the mesh model.
Note: The Hole Filling (Auto) function is for small holes. Use the manual hole-filling tool in the mesh editing tab to fill larger holes.
¶ 5.3 Mesh Edit
The mesh processing page allows further optimization of the initial mesh generated from the point cloud, enhancing the model’s structure and surface quality, with support for texture mapping.
¶ 5.3.1 Mesh Isolation
Click the drop-down button to detects and remove the isolated mesh data disconnected from the main mesh.
Isolation Rate: The percentage of an isolated mesh relative to the total number of meshes. Setting a higher value will detect more isolated mesh data.
¶ 5.3.2 Mesh Smooth
Removes noise from the mesh model to make it smoother.
A higher smoothing strength results in a smoother point cloud but may lead to the loss of more details.
¶ 5.3.3 Mesh Simplify
Reduces the mesh data in the model for more manageable processing, storage, and sharing.
Ratio: The percentage of simplified mesh data to the total data volume. Setting a higher ratio will remove more details, resulting in a smaller file size.
¶ 5.3.4 Fill Holes
Detects all holes on the model surface. Select the holes by clicking their edges, then choose either the Plane or Curved method to fill them (Multiple holes can be selected using the selection tool at the bottom of the interface).
¶ 5.4 Texture
If color scanning was enabled in the scan settings, texture mapping can then be applied to the mesh model. Texture is applying the color data captured by the RGB camera to the mesh to create a high-quality colored 3D model. There are two texturing methods:
• Color Image
This method maps the image data captured by the scanner's RGB Camera on the mesh's surface to create a colored model.
• Vertex Coloring
This method generates textures from the mesh's vertices color.
Click "Apply" or "Texture" button to perform the texture function.
¶ 5.5 Tool Bar
The Toolbar provides multiple tools for manually selecting unwanted local data for detailed editing or deletion.
Note: The Tool Bar can't be used for raw data or textured models.

¶ 8.1.2 Scanner Connection
¶ 8.2 Basic Scanning Steps
This section outlines the fundamental steps for a standard scan, including creating a new scan, configuring parameters, initiating the scan, and finalizing it. Follow the sequence to ensure smooth operation.
¶ 8.2.1 Creating a New Scan
Open the software, and once the bottom-right corner shows that the scanner is connected, click "New Scan". Then choose "Feature" tracking mode to enter the scan interface.
¶ 8.2.2 Scan Settings
Optimal results require proper parameter settings, which affect model integrity, clarity, and post-processing efficiency. Refer to 4.2 Scan Parameters Settings for guidance on mode selection, accuracy levels, stitching methods, and object types. New users can refer to the following content to set parameters:
1) Check the model's position through the camera preview window on the left to ensure it is within the camera's field of view.
2) Select "High Accuracy", "Normal Objects". Adjust the scanning distance according to the requirements and choose whether to enable color scanning/base removal.
3) Adjust the distance between the scanner and the sample bust to ensure that the color on the distance indicator bar is displayed in green.
4) Adjust the exposure of the depth camera until the red or blue areas on the surface of the scanned object are reduced as much as possible. (Novice users are recommended to set it to automatic adjustment.)
¶ 8.2.3 Starting Scan
1) After setting these parameters, check the right-side distance indicator bar and object imaging. If the indicator bar shows green (optimal/good distance) and the object appears clear and complete, click "Start" to begin scanning. If the image is fragmented or blurry, review parameter settings or camera angles.
2) During scanning, pause to review progress in the model display area. If the model appears incomplete (as shown in the example), click "Start" again to continue.
Note: For hard-to-capture areas, pause the scan, reposition the object, and rescan to capture details. Avoid repeatedly scanning the same area to prevent stitching errors.
¶ 8.2.4 Finishing Scan
New users can use the following criteria to determine if scanning is complete:
1) Check if the model preview displays fully.
→ Ensure the real-time preview covers all surfaces of the target object, especially undersides, backsides, and crevices. (Small holes can be manually filled during post-processing.)
2) Check whether the model color/texture is uniform (if texturing is enabled).
→ If texturing is applied, check for obvious seams, missing color patches, or distortions.
3) Inspect point cloud/mesh for large gaps.
→ Pause scanning to check for unfilled areas or structural omissions in point cloud or preview models.
When the scan is completed, click the "Finish" button to end the scan. If the model still needs to be scanned again, you can return to the Scan interface, click the "Preview" button to continue scanning.

If you encounter rendering issues with 3D models during use, please uncheck the option here and then view the model again. (If your computer does not have a GPU, it is recommended to disable the GPU for a more stable experience).

Scanner Info: See the scanner's type and serial number.
Firmware Version: An “Update” button will be displayed when a new firmware version is available. Click the button and follow the instructions to update.
IMU Calibration: The IMU sensor measures the scanner's acceleration, rotation, and orientation. Calibrating the IMU ensures the scanner tracks its movement data accurately, resulting in better frame stitching and scanning accuracy. Click the “Start Calibration” button and follow the onscreen instructions to complete the calibration process. IMU calibration only needs to be done when prompted by Revo Scan 6.
Note: This option will only appear if the connected scanner has an IMU.
