Foot Scanning

Col

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 select the specialized Foot Station mode for foot scanning.

Specifically, you can select insole - SMO to scan from the sole to the ankle, or select AFO - KAFO to scan from the sole to the thigh.

Caution

• It is recommended that you keep the surrounding environment clean and unobstructed before scanning.
• Please place the foot 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 function, and scan until the green data is complete and without gaps.

1. Select the scan mode as Foot Station, and choose Insole - SMO (default) or AFO - KAFO, then click to upload the global markers file (.p3) of foot station, and click Start to enter the foot scanning process.
