Settings

You can adjust scan settings during pre-scanning or scanning, including the mode, light source, object, brightness and so on, to achieve an ideal result.

Scan Mode

You can select Scan Mesh, Partial HD Scanning, Scan Markers / Photogrammetry or Scan Hole to scan.

Note

When the scanner is in Scan Mesh and there is only one project within the project group, you can adjust the point distance in real time.

High-Speed Mode

You can improve the scanning speed when it is enabled.

Light Source Mode

FreeScan TE25W Description
50 Lines This mode can be used to scan a large object.
7 Lines This mode can be used to scan fine details.
1 Line This mode can be used to scan deep holes and pocket area.

Deep Hole Optimization

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

Note

This function can be enabled when the Light Source Mode is switched to 1 Line in Scan Mesh or Partial HD Scanning; other light source modes do not support this function.

Object

Select the mode according to the material of the object you are ready to scan.

Brightness

Scanning brightness refers to the intensity of light that is projected onto the object being scanned when using the device. If the brightness is too high or too low, it can affect the quality and integrity of the scanning data. Therefore, it is recommended that you adjust the brightness by dragging the slider before or during the scanning process to ensure optimal scanning results.

Data Quality Indicator

The quality of the scanned data is shown by a color indicator. Blue represents high-quality scanned data, and yellow indicates insufficient data where further scanning is required. If these areas are not scanned adequately, the insufficient data may disappear or be abnormal after post-processing.

Note

  • This function is not available for scanning in Scan Markers.
  • Changing the point distance will affect the existing color display. Please rescan the insufficiently scanned areas after changing the point distance.

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.

Tracking Volume

When the scanner is outside the tracker's tracking volume, the scanner may not be able to scan data or the quality of the scanned data may be poor. In such a situation, you can enable this function. Once enabled, the tracking volume will be visualized in the 3D scene, allowing you to see the relative positions of the tracker, scanner, and the object being scanned.

During scanning, you can use this function to adjust the position of the tracker to ensure that the object being scanned and the scanner are within the tracking volume.

Note

This function can be enabled in Trak Mode.

Caution

If you move the tracker in a real-world scene, the model position of the tracker in the 3D scene will not change, but the relative position of the scanned object in the 3D scene will change in real-time.

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 / Standard Intelligent Resolution and generating mesh, click Apply in the Mesh Processing 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.

  • Intelligent Resolution is only available for Scan Mesh in the Trak Mode and the Laser Mode.

  • Intelligent Resolution only applies to the individual project file. Different project files within a project group can have different intelligent resolutions.
