Preparation¶

Make some preparations when scanning different objects.

Markers¶

Markers shall be placed to models. If the device fails to recognize markers, it will not emit laser lines.

Place the markers evenly and randomly.
Four markers are required for the alignment at communal areas.
Ensure that the device's camera can scan at least 4 markers within the normal scanning range.
Please place small markers on the edges or at small facets of the model.
Do not place the markers on the surface with high curvature.
Do not use damaged or incomplete markers.
Do not use greasy, dusty, or dirty markers.

note

3 mm markers are the minimum markers that can be recognized.

Col

Artificial grouping of markers

Col

Place markers only on one line

Col

Markers are scattered and irregularly placed

Coded targets are used to automatically form cutting planes during scanning, eliminating the need for manual creation.

Note

Coded targets do not participate in alignment during scanning.
No new markers will be generated below the cutting planes.
Cutting planes formed by coded targets will not disappear even after the original coded targets are removed.
Once six cutting planes exist, coded targets are no longer automatically identified as a new cutting plane.

Caution

Spray the washable or specified imaging agent on the transparent, shiny or reflective model before scanning.

Note

Types of objects not recommended for scanning:

Soft material object that cannot be hung.
Moving or vibrating objects. Frequent changes in the coordinates of such objects will result in poor scanning quality.
