Scan Mode

Choose the proper scanning mode to scan.

  • Scan Global Markers

    This mode is used to scan markers on the surface of an object. You can quickly obtain the markers data of an object in this way and switch to Scan Mesh to continue scanning.

    Caution

    • The scanner does not project laser lines during the scanning process.
    • You can scan new markers after opening a global markers file.
    • When switching to Scan Global Markers, the current scanned data will be cleaned up and the data can not be recovered.

  • Scan Mesh

    Directly scan to generate mesh data. This mode is suitable for most scanning scenarios.
    Note

    When the markers are not fully scanned in Scan Global Markers, you can check Add Global Markers to scan new global markers.

  • Partial HD Scanning

    This mode is used for scanning when there is a high requirement for details in a specific area or when there are missing data in certain regions. By using this mode for targeted scanning, it can save scanning time and make the scanned data more accurate and complete.

  • Photogrammetry

    This mode is generally suitable for high-precision industrial measurements. Depending on the size of the scanned object(s), you can import an appropriate scale bar file and use the scale bar(s) during scanning to improve the overall accuracy of the global markers data.

Point Distance

Note

  • When there is only one project within the project group, you can adjust the point distance in real-time in the scan mesh mode.
  • When there are multiple projects within the project group, you cannot adjust the point distance anymore in the scan mesh mode.
Scan Mode Point Distance
Scan Mesh 0.05 mm ~ 10.0 mm
Partial HD Scanning 0.02 mm ~ 3.0 mm

High-speed Mode

The high-speed mode of the scanner will lose some details. Please turn off the mode when the point distance is less than 0.1 mm.

Caution

3 mm markers can not be recognized in this mode.

Light Source Mode

According to the scanning requirements, you can choose different laser line modes.

Light Source Mode
Description
26 Lines This mode can be used to scan large objects.
5 or 7 Lines1 This mode can be used to scan fine details.
1 Line This mode can be used to scan deep holes and pocket area.

Object

It supports scanning of both normal objects and reflective objects. 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.

Scan in Point Cloud

After enabling the Scan in Point Cloud, the point cloud data will be displayed during the scanning process, thereby reducing GPU memory consumption.

Note

  • Mesh data will be displayed after pausing the scanning whether this mode is enabled or not.
  • You can switch another scan mode when only global markers data is present or after all data is cleared.
  • Scan modes cannot be switched during pre-scanning, the scanning process, or when data present in the scene.
  • Projects within the same project group can adopt different states: Project A within the group can have this mode enabled, while Project B can have it disabled.
  • This function is only supported by Scan Mesh mode and Partial HD Scanning 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.

View Lock

When the function is enabled, the view will be locked during scanning and not follow the scanning path, which can be used for scanning the data of the locked view.

Brightness

For objects of different materials and colors, adjust the brightness of the scanner to can better.

Col

Too Bright

Proper

Col

Too Dark

Deep Hole Optimization

When scanning deep holes, please enable it to enhance the scanning depth and the integrity of the scanned data.

Caution

  • Enabling this function may also result in an increase in noise.

  • This mode can only be enabled when the light source mode is selected as 1 line.

Intelligent Resolution

After enabling Intelligent Resolution, the software automatically adjusts the mesh resolution based on the curvature of the scanned object. Multiple scans are required during the scanning process to achieve high-quality data and make the features of the scanned object more clear. After selecting High Intelligent Resolution or Standard Intelligent Resolution and generating mesh, click Preview in the Mesh Optimization interface to view the intelligent resolution effect: areas with high curvature will have higher data density.

Note

  • Enabling High Intelligent Resolution requires a point distance in the project greater than 0.4 mm.
  • Enabling Standard Intelligent Resolution requires a point distance in the project greater than 0.2 mm.
  • Only project files with the same intelligent resolution can exist in a project group; if a project with a different resolution is imported into the current project group, the resolution of the imported project will be changed to the resolution consistent with the project in the current project group.
