Preparation¶
Before conducting a scan, there are some preparations that need to be done in order to achieve a better scanning experience.
Note
Objects that are not recommended for scanning include:
- (In the Fixed Scan mode) Moving or vibrating objects, which cause the shape of object changed during scanning process.
- Soft material object that cannot be hung.
- Lattice structures with many small deep holes.
For Markers¶
If the features of the scanned object are not rich enough, markers (3 mm) can be pasted on the object for scanning alignment.
Please pay attention to the following details when pasting the markers:
- Attach the markers evenly and randomly.
- Four markers are required for the alignment at communal areas.
- Ensure that the device’s camera can scan at least 4 markers within the normal scanning range.
- Do not attach the markers on the surface with high curvature.
- Do not use damaged or incomplete markers.
- Do not use greasy, dusty, or dirty markers.
Examples of pasting markers are as follows:
