¶ 1. Product Introduction
¶ 1.1 Scanner Components
¶ 1.2 Packing List
¶ 2. First-Time Use
Creality Sermoon P1 supports two working modes: standalone mode and PC connection mode. You can choose the appropriate mode to operate according to your needs.
¶ 2.1 Standalone Mode (No computer connection required)
Creality Sermoon P1 has a built-in operating system and screen, allowing it to perform scanning and basic processing independently.
¶ Step 1: Power-on Preparation
Make sure the scanner has sufficient power.
Note: Before charging, users should select the appropriate connector according to their country and push the selected connector into the adapter body (the adapter body prongs are fixed and cannot be lifted directly for use) .
Press and hold the power button for 2 seconds to turn on the device and enter the main interface.
Complete first-time setup
(1) Language Selection : Select your language and click
(2) Network Connection: Select an available local area network. Once connected, you will be automatically prompted to proceed to the next step.
(3) Privacy Policy: Please read and agree to our relevant Privacy Policy and User Agreement before using the device.
(4) Activation: Device activation takes a while, please be patient.
(5) Account Login: Supports login with Creality Cloud account . Login can be skipped without affecting normal device use.
Skipping login will trigger a confirmation pop-up. If you still do not log in, select "Don’t Use" to proceed to the next page.
(6) Device Protection: On this page, you can set a device power-on password to prevent unauthorized users from using the device.
(7) Welcome Page: Tap anywhere on the screen to start using the device.
(8) Beginner Tutorial Video: You can choose whether to skip it. After watching/skipping, you will be taken directly to the device scanning page to start your first scanning experience.
¶ Step 2: Start Scanning
● Tap "New Project" on the screen to enter the scan preview page.
● Select the appropriate scan mode (Blue Laser/Infrared) and related settings based on the features of the object being scanned.
● Select the appropriate scan settings and click "Apply" to scan in the selected settings.
● Adjust the Scanning Distance : Move the scanner to adjust its distance from the scanned object. When the distance indicator bar on the right side of the screen is within the green "Optimal" range, it means the current distance is ideal for scanning.
● Start Scanning: Short press the Start/Pause button on the scanner, or tap the [Start] button on the screen. Keep the scanner aimed at the object, move it steadily and slowly, and scan the object from all angles.
● Complete Scanning: Once the data acquisition is complete, press and hold the Start/Pause button on the scanner for more than 2 seconds, or tap "Finish" on the device screen . The scanned point cloud data will be automatically displayed on the screen.
¶ Step 3: Model Processing
After the scanning is complete, you can use the processing function built into the Creality Sermoon P1 device to generate the final 3D model from the point cloud data.
● Processing Flow (Operate on the screen) :
(1) Fusion: Fuse multiple frames of point cloud data collected during the scanning process into a complete point cloud.
(2) Alignment: Multiple scans can be aligned into a complete model for result preview.
(3) Meshing: Convert point cloud data into triangular mesh surfaces to generate the basic shape of the model.
(4) Color Mapping (if applicable): If color information was captured during scanning, this step will map the color and texture onto the model surface.

¶ 2.2 PC Connection Mode (Connect to Computer)
Connect to your computer via USB or Wi-Fi and use CrealityScan 4 software for more advanced scan control and model processing.
¶ 2.2.1 Software Preparation
● Download the Software: Visit the Creality official Wiki software download page: https://wiki.creality.com/en/software/scan-software, find CrealityScan 4 software and download it.
● Install the Software:
○ Windows: Double-click the installer and follow the prompts to complete the installation.
○ macOS: After installation, please grant the 3D scanner read and write permissions to optimize point clouds and generate models when using the software .
¶ 2.2.2 Connecting the Scanner
¶ Method 1: Wired Connection (USB)
● Insert the Type-C connector of the data cable into the scanner and tighten the screw.
● Insert the other end of the data cable (Type-C) into a USB 3.0 or higher port on your computer to ensure stable data transfer.
● In the pop-up window of Creality Sermoon P1, select "Scan Connection".
¶ Method 2：Wireless Connection (Wi-Fi)
● Step 1: Enable P1 Hotspot
○On the Creality Sermoon P1 device screen, access the "Settings" menu, tap "Hotspot", and enable "Allow Others to Join" .
Record the hotspot name and password.
● Step 2: Connect Your Computer to the P1 Hotspot
○ In your computer's Wi-Fi settings, find the hotspot network name of the Creality Sermoon P1, click to connect, and enter the password.
● Step 3: Software Connection
○ Open the CrealityScan 4 software on your computer.
○ In the software interface, the software will automatically identify and display the connected Creality Sermoon P1 device.
¶ 2.2.3 Start Scaning
● In the CrealityScan 4 software, click "New Project", enter the "Project Name" in the pop-up window, select the "Folder Path", and then click "OK".
● Select the appropriate scan mode and related settings based on the features of the object being scanned.
● Adjust the Scanning Distance: Move the scanner to adjust its distance from the scanned object. When the distance indicator bar on the software interface is in the green "optimal" range, it indicates that the current scanning distance is ideal for scanning.
● Complete Scanning: Once the data acquisition is complete, press and hold the Start/Pause button on the scanner for more than 2 seconds, or click "Finish" in the software interface. The scanned point cloud data will be automatically displayed in the software.
¶ 2.2.4 Model Processing
After the scan is completed, you need to use the post-processing function of CrealityScan 4 software to generate the final 3D model from the point cloud data.
● One-Click Process: For beginner users, the software's "One-Click Process" function can be used, which will automatically complete point cloud fusion, meshing, and color mapping (if applicable).
● Manual Processing Procedure (recommended):
(1) Fusion: Fuse multiple frames of point cloud data collected during the scanning process into a complete point cloud.
(2) Alignment: Multiple scans can be aligned into a complete model for result preview.
(3) Meshing: Convert point cloud data into triangular mesh surfaces to generate the basic shape of the model.
(4) Color Mapping (if applicable): If color information was captured during scanning, this step will map the color and texture onto the model surface.

¶ 3. Detailed Explanation of Scanning Modes
¶ 3.1 Blue Laser Mode
Suitable for scanning objects requiring high accuracy and rich details, it usually needs to be used with markers.
● Cross Line Laser:
○ Features: Fast scanning speed and high efficiency.
○ Applicable scenarios: Scanning large objects. It is necessary to attach markers directly to the object's surface.
● Parallel Line Laser
○ Features: Best details.
○ Applicable scenarios: For detailed scanning of objects, resulting in richer model details . If the object is small, markers can be placed on the table around the object.
● Single Line Laser
○ Features: Excellent at capturing hard-to-reach areas such as deep holes and grooves.
○ Applicable scenarios: Supplemental scanning of objects with deep hole features.
Tips
● Real-Time Resolution: The smaller the resolution, the finer the model. However, this will occupy more computer memory and may affect scanning smoothness. Please select according to your computer performance and model requirements.
● Alignment: If you need to scan multiple sides of an object (such as the front and back), you can scan them in multiple steps and then use the software's "Alignment" function to combine them into a complete model.
¶ 3.2 Infrared Mode
Suitable for scanning faces, bodies , sculptures , or other objects with rich features, usually without the need to attach markers.
● Features: Safe, fast, invisible light, and harmless to human eyes .
● Applicable scenarios: Face scanning, cultural relic protection, medical rehabilitation, etc.
● Infrared mode also supports "Texture" tracking and "Marker" tracking to meet different needs.
