Project Settings¶
After creating a new project group, please configure the project group.
Different scanning modes have different settings, including operation mode, alignment mode, resolution, texture, and rigid alignment.
Fixed scan is suitable for capturing high-detail and high-accuracy data of small to medium-sized objects.
In this mode, both industrial pack and color pack are available.
Texture Scan
| Texture | Icon | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Texture Scan |  |
During the scanning process, you can simultaneously capture texture information to assign color to the data. NoteIf you want to choose the texture scan, please ensure that a color pack is installed. |
| Non-texture Scan |  |
Get the texture without color. |
Note
Refer to Scan Settings for more related settings, including alignment mode, turntable, etc.
Handheld HD scanning is suitable for capturing high-detail and high-accuracy data.
In this mode, color pack is available.
Operation Mode
| Operation mode | Description |
|---|---|
| Normal | The scan speed is 10 fps. |
| ROI (Region of Interest) | The scan speed is also 10 fps, but the details are finer than the Normal mode. The scan range of this mode is around half of that of the Normal mode. The scan speed is also relatively slower. This mode is suitable for scanning relatively small objects with rich features on the surface (not suitable for size over 1 meter). And it is not suggested to use markers under this mode, as the density of the markers may be high, which will result in lots of markers holes on the scan result. |
Select Mode of Alignment
| Align mode | Description |
|---|---|
| Features | Automatically complete the alignment by the surface geometric features of the scanned object. This mode is used for objects that cannot paste markers and have rich surface features. |
| Texture alignment | Texture alignment is a technique that utilizes the surface texture features of the scanned object to automatically complete the alignment and merging process. It is suitable for objects with rich surface patterns but lacking intricate and varied geometric features.Note If you want to choose the texture scan, please ensure that a color pack is installed. |
| Markers | Automatic stitching can be achieved by using markers attached to the surface of the scanned object, suitable for objects with limited geometric features or for scenarios that require high accuracy. |
| Hybrid alignment | The software can automatically switch between feature-based stitching and marker-based stitching (using the global markers file) during the scanning process based on whether markers are attached to the scanned object. For areas where features are prone to misalignment, markers can be attached (minimum of 4) for stitching purposes. This method is suitable for objects with localized features that are prone to misalignment. |
Select Resolution
| Resolution | Description |
|---|---|
| High | 0.2 mm |
| Medium | 0.5 mm |
| Low | 2.0 mm |
Texture Scan
If you want to choose the texture scan, please ensure that a color pack is installed, and it can not be disabled under the texture alignment mode.
Handheld rapid scanning offers a faster scanning speed. It is suitable for scanning large-sized objects. But the tradeoff is lower detail and accuracy.
In this mode, color pack is available.

Texture Scan
If you want to choose the texture scan, please ensure that a color pack is installed, and it can not be disabled under the texture alignment mode.
Non-rigid algorithm
Support scanning people or objects that will slightly change shape during the scanning process, which helps improve the scanning smoothness.
Note
- Under static object scanning scenarios, it is not recommended to enable this feature.
- Not applicable with Marker or Hybrid Alignment mode.
