Note:
① Accuracy was acquired in a controlled lab environment. Actual results might vary, subject to the operating environment.
② Class 1 Laser Safety Tips:
1) The product uses a Class 1 laser projector. Avoid looking directly at it at close range! Please refer to the Class 1 laser standard document for details.
2) To avoid retina damage, don't look directly into the laser beam through optical instruments capable of magnifying it (e.g., telescopes and camera lenses).
3) To prevent laser reflection, avoid placing reflective surfaces like mirrors or glass in the path of the laser beam.
③ To ensure accuracy, it's recommended to use the product within an environmental temperature range of 20℃ to 25℃ (68℉ to 77℉).
④ This product has flashing lights, which may not be suitable for people with photosensitive epilepsy.

Note:

1. Precision is how close repeated measurements of the same object at a single angle are to each other. Accuracy is how close a measured value at a single angle is to the actual (true) value. They were both acquired in a controlled lab environment. Actual results might vary, subject to the operation environment.

2. Outdoor scans should avoid direct sunlight.

3. Laser Safety Tips:

  1. The Structured Light scanner uses a Class I Laser projector. Please avoid looking directly at the projector at close range for a long time! For details, please refer to the Class I Laser standard document.
  2. The MetroX scanner uses a Class 2M Laser projector. Avoid looking directly at it at close range! Please refer to the Class 2M laser standard document for details.

① To avoid retina damage, don't look directly into the laser beam through optical instruments capable of magnifying it (e.g., telescopes, and camera lenses).

② To prevent laser reflection, avoid placing reflective surfaces like mirrors or glass in the path of the laser beam.

4. Some products have flashing lights, which may not be suitable for people with photosensitive epilepsy.

5. The MIRACO series 3D scanners require no PC when scanning. But the PC requirements above should be followed if you connect the MIRACO to Revo Scan (PC) for more operations.

6. If you're unsure about the CPU configuration required for MetroX, please ensure that the CPU has cores≥8, threads≥16, and a base frequency ≥2.4GHz.
