 =====EinScan-SP Training SOP=====
-====Tool Name and Location====
+Last edited: Furst (8/28/20)
-The SHINING3D EinScan-SP 3D Scanner is located in Fume Hood #1 in Elings 2448.
+====Overview:====
+This training provides an introduction to using the EinScan including:
+  * Setting up and calibrating the scanner
+  * Optimal conditions and techniques for scanning particulate parts
+  * Using the EinScan Turntable
+  * Fixing/reducing STL mesh files for export
+====Location:====
+the EinScan is located in fume hood #1 in the Innovations Workshop
 ====Safety====
 **Machine Limitations:**
   * The turntable has a maximum weight limit of 5kg (~11lbs). Exceeding this weight could damage the machine and its internal components.
-**Environmental:**'
+**Environmental:**
   * Keep the scanner in a well ventilated area. Keep flammables, corrosive agents, and liquids away from the scanner. Failing to do so will damage the machine and its internal components.
 **Physical:**
   * The projector emits a bright light. Avoid looking directly into the light source to prevent eye injury.

+**Training requirements:**
 Users must attend the in-person training session and should consult the Safe Operating Procedure and EinScan-SP Manual (both found on the Innovation Workshop GauchoSpace page).

 =====Maintenance=====
   * Run calibration every month
-**Calibration Step by Step:**
+**Calibration Step by Step:** \\
 Note: Once the calibration stand has been placed, it is imperative that it does not move. Any shifts in the stand will affect the quality of the calibration and future scans. \\
+{{:tools:einscan-sp:working_calibration.jpg?600|}} \\
+  * Under “Choose Working Mode”, make sure that Calibrate is selected. Click Next.
+{{:tools:einscan-sp:calibration1.jpg?600|}} \\
+  * This menu will appear. Remove the calibration board from the black protective drawstring bag and snap together the calibration board stand. Place the stand in the center of the turntable facing the scanner, and mount the calibration board in Orientation A (specified by the software). When properly oriented, click Snap {{:tools:einscan-sp:snap.jpg?35|}} to proceed. The turntable will incrementally rotate and the progress bar will fill.
+{{:tools:einscan-sp:calibration2.jpg?600|}} \\
+  * The software will then prompt you to rotate the calibration board to match Orientation B. Carefully lift and rotate the calibration board without moving the stand.
+  * When properly oriented, click Snap {{:tools:einscan-sp:snap.jpg?35|}} to proceed. The turntable will incrementally rotate and the progress bar will fill.
+{{:tools:einscan-sp:calibration3.jpg?600|}} \\
+  * The software will then prompt you to rotate the calibration board to match Orientation C. Carefully lift and rotate the calibration board without moving the stand.
+  * When properly oriented, click Snap {{:tools:einscan-sp:snap.jpg?35|}} to proceed. The turntable will incrementally rotate and the progress bar will fill.
+ {{:tools:einscan-sp:calibrationbar.jpg?600|}}
+After completing the scan of Orientation C, the software will automatically start the calibration process. A progress bar will display as the software calibrates. It will automatically return to the “Choose Working Mode” menu when the calibration is complete. \\
+Remove the calibration board from the stand and place in the protective drawstring bag. Remove the stand from the turntable and proceed with scanning.

+====Safety Concern====
+  * Lab coat and gloves must me used when handling resin
+  * Anything with uncured resin must be transported within a container to avoid spilling
+====Safe Operation Procedures Review====
+  - Create a new project and designate file location
+  - Select desired texture mode (texture uses color data whereas non texture takes less time)
+  - Adjust brightness slider to properly expose image
+  - Select desired scanning mode (turntable or tripod are standard)
+  - Start Scan
+  - After scan completion using shift + left click to remove extraneous data
+  - Correct any misalignment using the align and shift + left click to select coincident points
+====Post Processing and exporting====
+  - Select mesh to convert to mesh body
+  - Select watertight to create closed object or unwatertight to edit object file
+  - Select desired simplification ratio (to reduce processor stress) and file type (.STL, .OBJ, .PLY, .3MF, or .ASC)
+====Maintenance====
+  * Calibration should take place once a week or before a scan for optimal accuracy
+  * Scanner and turntable should be wiped down frequently
+  * Computer should be restarted periodically and plugged in
