Scan Settings

Before, during, and after scanning, you can set different parameters. For detailed information, please refer to scanning workflow.

Drag the vertical slider to adjust the brightness for different materials or colors of the object to get better scanning data. Please ensure that the object is clearly visible within the camera window and that there is no excessive red color displayed on the object.
Whether to enable automatic exposure is based on the actual scanning environment or object material.

Note

  • Only projects with texture enabled support texture camera brightness adjustment. Click in the camera preview to show the texture camera preview.
  • When the texture camera is turned on, it is recommended that you complete the white balance calibration according to the guide before scanning. You can place the calibration board on a horizontal flat surface with its back site (white) lying towards up or directly scan the white wall for white balance.


  • Tap to show the texture camera. When the outdoor mode is enabled, the LED will be automatically turned off; when the outdoor mode is disabled, the LED will be automatically turned on.
  • If the object surface is dark or reflective, increasing the scanning brightness is recommended.

Adjust the brightness for different material / color of the object to get better scan data.

Data Quality Indicator

It is used to inspect the quality of the scanned model based on the color map, which is only available before meshing.

Range Indicator Box

When the Range Indicator Box is enabled, the scanner will project a green box and center point onto the objects to show the scan area when using invisible IR light mode.

Plane Detection

Plane detection can reduce the data misalignment. When you choose either Feature Alignment or Hybrid Alignment, the Plane Detection option is enabled by default and displayed on the screen.

Caution

It is not recommended that you enable this feature when scanning objects with minimal texture details, as it may compromise scanning quality.

Alignment Mode

You can change the alignment mode if there is no scanned data.

Marker Size

During the scanning process, only the marker diameters that have been selected can be recognized, while any unselected diameters are ignored. In IR Rapid or IR Adaptive mode, it supports 6 mm and 12 mm. In laser HD mode, it supports 3 mm, 6 mm and 12 mm.

Change data collection distance range to filter out background or get maximum data amount.

Adjusting Resolution

Tap to open the settings window.
1. You can tap / / to quickly switch between 1.0 mm, 2.0 mm, 3.0 mm resolutions.
2. Tap the screen and slide the arc ruler to accurately adjust the resolution.

Note

  • If you modify the resolution of a project file in a project group, all project files within the same scanning mode (Rapid/HD mode) of the project group will have their resolution adjusted accordingly.
  • If you increase the resolution, please ensure that the available memory space is greater than 15 GB.
  • During the scanning, you can adjust the resolution. However, once the mesh generation are completed, you cannot adjust the resolution anymore. You can tap Scan in the lower-left corner or of the screen to go back to scan, and change the resolution and generate the mesh again, which will overwrite the previous mesh data.
  • The project file stores the latest scan data and mesh data.

Create cutting plane

Tap to open the create cutting plane window.

  1. You can switch selection between Point Cloud and Markers.

    Note

    Require 3 or more markers to create a cutting plane.

  2. Tap Select to enable, and slice model data to select data.

  3. Tap Create to create a cutting plane.
  • Click Exit to undo the operations and return to the scan page.
  • Data underneath the plane will be shown in red. Click Apply to delete the red area data.

Edit Cutting Plane

Click on the created clipping plane to enter the editing mode. Click on any other area to exit the clipping plane editing mode.

Task Objective Operation
Move Cutting Plane Move the cutting plane by operating the active bar and dragging the arrow.
Rotate Cutting Plane Cutting plane can be rotated around the axis by dragging the small ball.
Delete Clipping Plane Click to delete the created clipping plane.

When texture is enabled, you can view the real colors of the scanned object.

Note

When using texture alignment, texture is enabled by default.
