Caution

When scanning the recessed areas of an object, please hold the scanner directly towards the area to be scanned.

Generate point clouds

When you finish the scan, you can Generate Point Clouds¹ or Optimize and Generate Point Clouds². You may want to edit the data later.

Note

The time it takes to generate point cloud depends on the data size of your project and the hardware configuration of your PC.

1. To generate point cloud directly without any optimization, will be fast and less memory been used; Only available in Object Scan. ↩

2. Optimize then generate point cloud, suggest choosing this option when you have higher accuracy requirement or when there is layering problem caused by accumulated aligning errors during scanning. ↩
