Foot Scanning¶

If you need to scan the feet, it is recommended that you use a glass foot station to assist in scanning the sole data, and utilize the specialized foot station alignment mode for foot scanning.

Caution

It is recommended that you keep the surrounding environment clean and unobstructed before scanning.
Please place the feet parallel to the long edge of the glass foot station and do not cover the markers.
Please avoid scanning in environments with strong direct light above the foot station, as it may cause overexposure and affect speckle projection.
Please ensure to scan all necessary data of the sole refracted on the bottom of the glass foot station to avoid impacting the alignment effect. It is recommended that you enable the data quality indicator during scanning, and scan until the green data is complete and without gaps.
