Mesh Model

Meshing is to convert the point cloud into a triangular mesh surface. The meshed data can be directly used for rendering, measurement or printing.

Function
Description
Unwatertight All holes on the model remain unclosed. It takes a short time to mesh the unwatertight model.
Semi-watertight Some of the holes will be filled automatically. Holes with a diameter less than or equal to the resolution × 5 will be filled.
Watertight All holes on the model will be filled automatically. This model can be used for 3D printing.
Only watertight model can set model quality.

Caution

If the scanned data contains disconnected parts, only the larger data will be retained after meshing.

Mesh Optimization

Function
Description
Setting
Optimization Optimize the data and improve the clarity of the data.
  • None: no optimization.
  • Standard (default): optimizes data slightly and preserves data characteristics.
  • Med: reduce the noise on the surface of the scan data.
  • High: reduce the noise on the surface of the scan data and sharpen it powerfully.
Smooth To reduce the possible noise on the surface of the scanned data.
You can smooth the data in low, medium or high level.
Remove Small Floating Parts To remove small floating parts on the model. Set the isolated data ratio by dragging the slider or clicking the up/down arrow.
Default value is 1, with a range of 0 to 100. The value 0 indicates not removing isolated data.
Max triangles To set a max number of triangles as the upper limit of data simplification. Input a proper value to avoid over-simplification and consequent pool quality of the scanned data.
Avoid a extremely small value.
Fill Small Hole To fill the small hole automatically.
  • The default perimeter is ≤10 mm. Set the value according to your requirements.
  • Optimize hole filling by removing edge clutter data; 0 indicates no deletion of the neighboring areas.
Marker Hole Filling To fill in the unscanned holes on the surface of the object that are covered by markers. In the markers alignment mode, this function is enabled as default for unwatertight or semi-watertight models, and can not be disabled for watertight models.
Remove Spike To remove spike-like data on the image edge.

Texture Mapping Check Texture Mapping to enable the use of diffuse maps, which add basic colors, patterns, and textures to surfaces. This makes objects look more realistic by simulating their real-world appearance. If not checked, each generated mesh face will be covered with color information.
/
Recommended Parameters When turned on, it will automatically use the recommended parameters for meshing.

Click Apply to confirm the settings and start meshing. When the mesh is generated, you can click Exit to save the result, or click Cancel to reset the parameters.
