Exporting Your Scan - Fuel3D SCANIFY F3D2001 User Manual

You may also use keyboard controls to control the cropped scan within the 3D viewer.
Note:
 Don't worry, your original scan data is saved and a crop can always be
undone, even after the software is closed.

Exporting your scan

Your scan can be exported in three different file-types:
STL: this will export your model without any color data. This can be useful if you're
sending your model to a non-color 3D printer or for use in other 3D modelling software
applications, such as Solidworks.
PLY: this will export your model with color if you select the 'color' option and exports it
as one file. The color information is stored per-vertex, therefore, if you lower the
polygon count of the model the color texture resolution will also be lowered.
OBJ: this will export your model with color as with PLY, however, it will export 3 files:
the object, material and bitmap files. The bitmap is then overlaid on top of the model
and so lowering the polygon count will not deteriorate the resolution of the color texture.
