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.

Mesh

Function
Description
Unwatertight All holes on the model remain unclosed. It takes a short time to mesh the unwatertight model.
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
Note
Quality To set model quality at high, medium or low level. It can enhance data quality but may increase the meshing time. This function is available when you select watertight.
Filter To optimize the data and improve the clarity of the data. The higher the level, the less the small details.
  • None: No optimization
  • Low: Optimizes data slightly and preserves data characteristics
  • Med: Reduce the noise on the surface of the scanned data
  • High: Reduce the noise on the surface of the scanned data and make the data smoother
    		•
    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.
    		 Drag the slider or click up and down arrows to set the ratio. 0 stands for no removal.
    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.
    Remove Spike To remove spike-like data on the image edge.
    /
    Marker Hole Filling To fill in the unscanned holes on the surface of the object that are covered by markers.
