Product Overview
Photoneo PhoXi 3D Scanner is a device that uses a structured light projection to reconstruct the geometry of a 3D surface
of an inspected object. One or more structured patterns are projected onto a scene during scan, which allows calculation of
depth from images of the scene. The surface geometry is provided to the user as a depth map or in the form of a point
cloud.
The scanning process consists of three phases: capturing (or acquisition), processing (computation) and transfer. In the first
stage, the Photoneo PhoXi 3D Scanner projects a series of light patterns onto the scene. Once the data has been acquired,
the Scanner calculates all visible points on the surface and sends this data to the user via Ethernet connection.
Communication with the Scanner should be at least 1 Gbps in order to prevent bottlenecks during the data transfer process.
To learn more about the scanning process, please consult the PhoXi Control User Guide (see section
).
Laser Device
⚠
WARNING
This device is a laser product. Do not deliberately look into the laser beam. This may cause injury to the retina. The use of
protective eyewear is normally not necessary. The laser class label is present on the back of the device.
The laser projector aperture is located at the right side of the front panel of the device (Figure 1). The aperture is clearly
marked with a warning label. Do not look directly into the laser projector while the device is in use.
To avoid unauthorized contact with the Scanner or unintentional viewing of the laser beam, it is recommended to locate
the device in a restricted area and take measures to restrict laser light exposure to the surroundings. Although diffuse
reflections are not harmful, users should remove mirrors, polished objects, and similar items from the vicinity of the Scanner
to avoid specular reflections.
All components of the device, including those sourced from 3rd party suppliers, conform fully with all applicable European
directives and regulations.
