An algorithm for point cloud registration based on turntable with a stepper-motor is presented in this paper. First three or more point clouds are used to calibrate the position of central axis of the rotating platform. So the relationship between the scanner and the rotating platform are defined. Then the rotate matrix is calculated with the angle of the rotating platform to rotate point clouds into the same coordinate system. Only the angle of the rotating platform is need in this method. The method implemented with C++ language proves stable, efficient, high degree of automation , good registration performance and high practical value, which be used in many 3d scanning system such as laser finder system and structure light scanning system
