HOW TO SCAN VARIOUS SURFACES AND SHAPES Note that some objects may have both surfaces and shapes that require preparations to produce a good scan. Surfaces: Matte, opaque, and light in color Shapes: Asymmetrical with abundant scan alignment features No preparations required. Go ahead and scan. Dark surfaces Add developer spray before scanning. Shiny or reflective surfaces Add developer spray before scanning.

Translucent or transparent surfaces Add developer spray before scanning. Partially shiny surfaces Add developer spray before scanning. Furry surfaces If too fuzzy, fur is generally not 3D scannable. Unsteady shapes Use modelling clay to fixate the shape to the turntable. (Needs removal in third-party software).
PAGE 3
Movable shapes Fixate the movable parts, for example with glue. (Do not glue it to the turntable.) Objects that change shape If the object stays motionless once positioned, it will scan if only one scanning pass is required. When adding additional scanning passes, the repositioning may change the overall shape and thereby corrupt the scan. Shapes with holes (Bottom of) holes that are not visible to the camera and laser will not be part of the final 3D model.

© Scan Dimension / 06-2022 / V1.0 EN Minimum object size The minimum scannable size with SOL is 25x25 mm (diameter x height) with the scanner set in near position. Maximum object size The maximum scannable size with SOL is 170x170 mm (diameter x height) with scanner set in far position. Stable scan setting Moving or touching the scanner or tent while scanning will most likely result in inaccurate or failed scans. Place the tent on a separate table to secure stability.
