Setting¶
Laser scan¶
Scan mode¶
Choose the proper scanning mode to scan.
-
Scan markers
You can only scan markers on the surface of an object and the scanner does not project laser lines during the scanning process. You can quickly obtain the markers data of an object in this way.
Caution
When switching to Scan Markers, the current scanned data will be cleaned up and the data can not be recovered.
-
Scan mesh
You can directly scanning mesh data.
You can also import the global markers file before scanning.
-
Scan point cloud（IR mode）
Directly scanning point clouds. After the scanning is complete, point cloud data needs to be generated.
-
Partial HD scanning
Partial HD Scanning means selecting the area to be rescanned when the requirement of resolution is high. Targeted scanning can save scanning time and make the data obtained completer.
Resolution¶
Note
- When there is only one project within the project group, you can adjust the resolution in real-time in the scan mesh mode.
- When there are multiple projects within the project group, you cannot adjust the resolution anymore in the scan mesh mode.
Laser mode
| Scan mode | Point distance |
|---|---|
| Scan mesh | 0.05 mm ~ 10.0 mm |
| Partial HD scanning | 0.01 mm ~ 3.0 mm |
IR mode
| Scan mode | Point distance |
|---|---|
| Scan point cloud | 0.1 mm(small objects) ~ 3.0 mm |
Light source mode¶
According to the scanning requirements, you can choose different laser line modes.
| 26 cross laser lines to scan large objects quickly | |
| 7 parallel laser lines to scan fine details | |
| A single laser line for deep holes and pocket area scanning |
Object¶
When scanning reflective objects, select Reflective to improve the scanning effect.
Outdoor mode¶
To scan normally in the glare environment such as outdoors.
Caution
Please avoid direct sunlight when scanning objects.
Data quality indicator¶
Differentiating scan quality in colors: blue represents high-quality scanned data and yellow represents insufficient scanned data that requires further scanning. Insufficiently scanned data may disappear or become anomalous after editing.
Note
This function is not available for scanning in scan markers mode or photogrammetry mode.
Local enlarged view¶
When the function is enabled, the scanning interface only displays the local perspective of the scanned object, which can be used for supplementary scanning of small holes. It is recommended to enable under 0.2 mm point distance.
View lock¶
The object view will be locked during scanning and not follow the scanning path, when the function is enabled.
Brightness¶
For objects of different materials and colors, adjust the brightness of the scanner to scan better.
| Too Bright | Proper | Too Dark |
|---|---|---|
 |

IR mode¶
Working distance adjustment¶
The effective area of the scanned data. It can be adjusted according to the size of the object and the alignment mode. The larger the value, the easier it is to scan data with far distance, but some data details will be lost.
| Scan Mode | Minimum Scanning Distance | Maximum Scanning Distance | Scanning Distance Range |
|---|---|---|---|
| Portrait | 160mm | 1400mm | ≥ 200mm |
| Object | 160mm | 600mm 250mm(small objects) |
≥ 200mm ≥ 40mm(small objects) |
Data quality indicator¶
For more, see Data quality indicator.
Hair mode¶
When the function is enabled, it is easier to capture hair but the data noise will increase.
Note
Only available in portrait scan mode.
 |
 |
Flat detection¶
When enabled, it can reduce the possibility of misalignment, but the scanner cannot scan plane or surface with few features. The software will prompt “please scan the non-plane area.”
Note
Only available in feature align and hybrid align mode.
