Scanner Tab
This tab contains a checkbox labelled “Enable Movement Override”. When
checked, two sliders are enabled, “Bed Resolution” and “Head Step Resolution”.
These sliders allow you to specify the degree of bed rotation and the number of
millimeters the head will move during the manual scan process, overriding the
automatic settings built into the software.
Bed Resolution
The larger the degree of bed rotation, the faster your scan will go, and the less
detail you will capture. Conversely, the smaller the degree of bed rotation, the
more detail will be captured and the slower the scan will go.
If you want to do a very quick scan, set this at 5 degrees or more. The lasers are
fired and points captured at each rotational degree, so the larger the degree, the
fewer times the capture process happens. It takes about one second to capture
and calculate three dimensional points each time the lasers are fired, so the
time per “pass” (pass: the 360° rotation of the object) is easy to calculate.
