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¶
Trak Mode¶
After selecting Trak Mode, you can select the corresponding device and scan mode in the scan interface.
- Select Scan Device: You can select TE Nova or UE Nova.
- Scan Mode: You can select Scan Mesh, Partial Resolution or Photogrammetry to scan.
In Trak Mode, please see the table below for the scan modes supported by TE Nova or UE Nova.
| Scan Mode | TE Nova | UE Nova |
|---|---|---|
| Scan Mesh |  (Both the TE Nova and UE Nova must be online simultaneously) |
(UE Nova must be online) |
| Partial Resolution | (Both the TE Nova and UE Nova must be online simultaneously) |
/ |
| Photogrammetry | / | (UE Nova must be online) |
Laser Mode¶
After selecting Laser Mode, you can use the scanner alone to perform Scan Mesh, Partial Resolution or Scan Markers.
Working Space¶
You can choose from three different working spaces: Near, Standard, and Far.
Note
- This function is only available in Trak Mode > Tracker > Scan Mesh.
- If there are multiple projects within one project group, all projects can only select the same working space.
- You can switch the type of the working space and modify the point distance during scanning; the point distance after meshing will be the final point distance.
| Working Space | Normal Point Distance | Point Distance to Enable the Standard Intelligent Resolution | Recognized Marker Size | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Near 300-800 mm |
≥ 0.4 mm | ＞ 0.8 mm | 6 mm | |
| Standard 600-1500 mm |
≥ 0.4 mm | ＞ 0.8 mm | 6 mm; 12 mm |
Suitable for projects with small point distances and high detail requirements. |
| Far 1200-2600 mm |
≥ 3 mm | ＞ 6 mm | 12 mm |
Marker Size¶
Two sizes of markers can be selected: 6 mm and 12 mm in diameter (default is all selected). You can check the marker size based on your scanning needs; once checked, only the markers with matched sizes will be recognized during scanning.
Note
- Please select at least one marker size.
- This function is only available in Trak Mode > UE Nova.
- The marker size cannot be changed during preview, scanning, pause, and editing states.
Light Source Mode¶
| TE Nova | 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. |
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.
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 when scanning in Trak Mode > TE Nova.
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.
-
Only Standard Intelligent Resolution can be enabled in Trak Mode > UE Nova > Scan Mesh.
-
Intelligent Resolution only applies to the individual project file. Different project files within a project group can have different intelligent resolutions.
