| | | |
− | *Reduce object or turntable movement during scanning.
| + | #Connection & Power |
| + | ##Verify USB 3.0 cable is fully seated—Eva draws more power than Spider. |
| + | ##Check for the green LED on the scanner head. |
| + | #Software Setup |
| + | ##Update Artec Studio to the latest version. |
| + | ##Select Eva from the scanner list in the software. |
| + | #Calibration |
| + | ##Eva does not require frequent warm-up, but recalibrate if geometry appears distorted. |
| + | #Scanning Conditions |
| + | ##Maintain 40–100 cm distance from the object. |
| + | ##Ensure good, even lighting; avoid strong shadows or direct sunlight. |
| + | #Tracking Stability |
| + | ##Scan with a background that has texture; plain walls or empty tables can cause tracking loss. |
| + | ##Use larger sweeps to capture big surfaces and avoid sudden movements. |
| + | #Performance & Data Handling |
| + | ##Close other software to give more resources to Artec Studio. |
| + | ##Save large scans frequently to avoid data loss. |
| + | ##If lag occurs, reduce capture resolution or scan sections separately and align later. |
