Preparation

If the object to be scanned has rich geometric, the scanning speed and quality can be better guaranteed.
On the contrary, if the object to be scanned has fewer geometric or a high degree of feature repetition, you need to do some preparation work before scanning to enhance your scanning experience.

Note

Not recommend to scan following objects:

  • Objects prone to deformation.

  • Lattice structures with many small deep holes.

  • Moving or vibrating objects, frequent changes in the coordinates of such objects can lead to poor scanning quality.

For Scanning with Markers

If the features of the scanned object are not rich enough, markers (4 mm / 2 mm / 1 mm) can be placed on the object for scanning alignment.

Scanning Mode Marker's Size
Wide Mode   
Precise Mode     

Please pay attention to the following details when placing the markers:

  • Attach the markers evenly and randomly, avoid regularly place.
  • 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 attach small size markers on the edges or at small facets of the model.
  • Do not attach the markers on the surface with high curvature.
  • Do not use damaged or incomplete markers.
  • Do not use greasy, dusty, or dirty markers.

Object Preparation Note
Transparent or shiny objects Use washable or vanishing scanning spray. Scan as normal after spraying.
Objects with less features or repetitive features
  • Place markers on the surface of the object.
  • In Scan Setting, select Marker align mode.
Scan as normal after preparations.
