Option Optic3D > Requirements & Settings

Requirements: for SCANLAB RTC3, RTC4 and RTC5 cards

Required SCAPS option:

Optic3D

Required SCANLAB hardware:

RTC board

RTC option "Controlling the Third Axis of a 3-Axis System"

RTC option "Second Scan Head Connector" (if Z channel is wired to 2nd scan head connector)

Required software:

32bit 3D drivers, e.g. RTC4D3.hex

3D correction file from SCANLAB → .CTB or .CT5 correction file

Settings:

To enable 3D marking with RTC cards, both a 3D program file and a 3D correction file must be configured.

Z Table Configuration:

The Z-table parameters A, B and C can be configured in Settings → System → Card → Advanced → Driver Settings → 3D Ext. For the correct values of A, B and C, contact the scan head manufacturer.

	The values entered for A, B and C are only applied when Enable is selected in the 3D Ext settings. If Enable is not selected, the system uses default A, B and C values in the background.

note

If the Z-axis channel is connected to the second scan head connector:

→ Enable the Second Head Option and assign the same correction file to the second head in Settings → System → Card → Correction.

This ensures that the Z-axis uses the same correction data as the primary scan head.
