- For tripod use, securely attach the Mole scanner to the tripod mount.
3. Ho kenya Software
- Visit the official 3DMakerpro website to download the latest version of the scanning software. Ensure you download the correct version for your operating system (Windows 10/11 or macOS 11/12 and above).
- Latela litaelo tse skrineng ho phethela ho kenya software.
- After installation, launch the software. You may be prompted to create an account or log in.
4. Calibration ea pele
- Before your first scan, it is recommended to perform an initial calibration using the provided calibration board.
- Follow the calibration instructions within the software interface. This process ensures optimal accuracy for your scans.
Litaelo tsa Ts'ebetso
1. Preparing for Scan
- Place the object to be scanned on a stable surface or the turntable.
- Ensure adequate lighting. While the Mole scanner can operate in bright conditions, consistent, diffused lighting is ideal. Avoid direct, harsh spotlights that can create strong shadows or reflections.
- For complex objects or those with uniform, featureless surfaces, consider using scanning spray or applying small, non-reflective markers if tracking becomes difficult.

2. Mekhoa ea ho Sekena
The Mole 3D Scanner supports two primary scanning modes:
- Handheld Scanning: Ideal for larger objects or when flexibility is required. Hold the scanner steadily and move it around the object, ensuring continuous visual tracking.
- Turntable Scanning: Best for smaller to medium-sized objects, providing automated and precise 360-degree capture. Place the object on the turntable and initiate the scan through the software.

3. Software Interface and Post-Processing
The accompanying software provides a user-friendly interface for controlling the scanning process, viewing real-time scan data, and performing post-processing operations.
- Real-time Feedback: Monitor the scan quality and tracking status directly within the software.
- Tsamaiso ea Lintlha: After scanning, the software allows for fusion, alignment, noise reduction, and texture mapping to create a complete 3D model.
- Export Formats: Export your 3D models in common formats such as OBJ, STL, and PLY for use in other 3D modeling or slicing software.

Image 6: Software Compatibility. This image displays various 3D modeling and design software applications that are compatible with the Mole 3D Scanner's output, including MeshMixer, MeshLab, Tinkercad, SketchUp, Solidworks, ZBrush, Blender, Rhino, Maya, Unity3D, 3DMax, and Cinema4D.
Tlhokomelo
- Ho hloekisa: Use a soft, dry, lint-free cloth to gently wipe the scanner's exterior. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents. Ensure the optical lenses are clean and free of dust or smudges for accurate scanning.
- Polokelo: Store the Mole 3D Scanner in its original carrying case or a protective environment when not in use to prevent dust accumulation and physical damage.
