Mesh

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

Mesh type

Icon Function Instruction
Unwatertight Unclosed model stays the way it is scanned. Processing time is quicker than Watertight.
Half watertight Some of the holes will be filled automatically.
Watertight All holes will be filled automatically. The data can directly be 3D printed.

Note

  • Half watertight mesh: Holes with a diameter less than or equal to the resolution x 5 will be filled.

  • Watertight mesh: Only in watertight mesh can set model quality.

Mesh optimization

Optimization Instruction Note
Filter 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 scan data
- High: Reduce the noise on the surface of the scan data and sharpen it powerfully.
Smooth Smooth the possible noise on the surface of the scan data.
Remove small floating parts Remove small floating parts on the model.
Simplification Select to reduce the polygon numbers, file size and detail of data while meshing.
- Resolution <= 0.5mm, simplification will be selected by default.
- Resolution > 0.5mm, simplification will be deselected by default.
Max triangles Set max plate number to get mesh model’s triangle plate number is within configured plate number.
Fill small hole Auto fill the small hole when mesh.
Default value 10mm, for objects with holes (smaller than 10 mm), please set the function parameter value to a smaller one.
Remove spike Remove spike-like data on the image edge.
Marker hole fill Fill in the surface of the object that is not scanned to the pasting marker.
