Follow these step to calibrate the overhead camera, but make sure the Carriage Camera Calibration first.

  1. Press the gear icon to enter the Settings Menu.
  2. Long Press the “Settings” text for 5 seconds to enter the Advanced Settings Menu.
  3. Click on “Calibrate Cameras” to enter the Camera Calibration menu.
  4. While the machine is Idle, follow the prompt, and begin the calibration routine by selecting “Ok”.
    • If your machine is a Fusion Pro, you will place your calibration mat on the table at this time.
    • If your machine is a Fusion Edge, you will place a piece of anodized aluminum on the table at this time.
  5. Follow the prompt and close the top door of the engraver.
    • If you are calibrating on a Fusion Edge, once “OK” is pressed the laser will start engraving the calibration pattern. The engraver will automatically focus to the 0.635mm thickness of the anodized aluminum, then engrave a calibration pattern.
    • If you are calibrating on a Fusion Pro, the camera will begin taking pictures of the calibration mat.
  6. Allow the job to run until completion.
  7. Once the job has finished engraving (Fusion Edge only), the camera at the laser head will take pictures of the engraving to calibrate itself. This process takes several minutes.
  8. Once the calibration has successfully finished, a dialog will appear. The “Reprojection error” will be listed and is used to determine the quality of the calibration. The lower the value, the better. If the reprojection error is above 2.0, the user will see an error “Calibration unsuccessful. Error too high”. A value of 0.6 or lower is desired
