Scan

Laser scan can quickly and accurately acquire 3D data of the scanned object. Featured in contact-free measurement, high sampling rate of data, active emission of scanning light source, low requirements for use, and strong environmental adaptability, laser scan can be used in complex environments, and acquire complete 3D data of large and complex objects into the computer, thereby reconstructing the corresponding 3D model as well as various geometric data concerning the points, lines, surfaces, and solids.

Scan Mode

Please see Settings for the scan modes supported by TE Nova and UE Nova.

Mode
Description
Scan Mesh Directly scan to generate mesh. This mode is suitable for most scanning scenarios.
Note
When the global markers are not fully scanned, you can click Add new global markers to scan new global markers in Scan Mesh.
Partial Resolution You can both save scanning time and get an ideal scanned data in this way.
This mode is suitable for:
  • There are missing data in a specific area after scanning an object in Scan Mesh.
  • There are missing data in a specific area of the imported project.
    		•
    Photogrammetry This mode is only supported in Trak Mode.
    This mode is suitable for:
  • Scan large objects
  • Scan the model from different angles
    Note
  • The tracker does not project laser lines during the scanning process.
  • You can import the global markers file and scan for adding new global markers.
  • After completing the scan, you can save the data or switch to Scan Mesh to continue scanning.
  • You can place a calibration rod in the scanning scene to ensure accuracy.
    		•
    Scan Markers This mode is only supported in Laser Mode.
    Note
  • By scanning the surface of an object with markers, you can quickly obtain the global markers data.
  • The scanner does not project laser lines during the scanning process.
  • You can import the global markers file and scan for adding new global markers.
  • After completing the scan, you can save the data or switch to Scan Mesh to continue scanning.

    Scan Operation

    Press the button or click the icons in the interface to switch among Preview, Scan, and Pause.

    Function Icon
    Description
    Preview
    		To preview the scanned data and adjust scan parameters for a better scanning effect. The scanned data won't be saved.
    You can open the setting interface by clicking in the upper right corner to enable or disable Preview. When disabled, this button will not appear on the scanning interface.
    Scan
    		To start scanning. You can adjust the brightness of the device according to the brightness and color of the object during scanning. The scanned data will be saved.
    Caution
  • Please ensure that the device is facing the surface of the object being scanned during the scanning process.
  • Maintain an appropriate working distance as prompted by the software during the scanning process.
  • Adjust the scanning brightness based on the surface brightness and color of the object during the scanning process.
    		•
    Pause
    		To pause scanning. And you can edit the scanned data.
