Light Conditions
For optimal scan results, please avoid areas with too little or too much light (e.g. in front of a window or in
•
an unlit workshop).
Normal room light conditions generate the smallest deviations of the scan and provide you with a good
•
texture quality
The auto exposure of the scanner tries always to adapt the scanner settings to guarantee the best possible
•
outcome
Warnings: There are two levels of warnings in case of overexposure:
•
•
Visual feedback exposure: The object must be shaded completely in green before you start the scan to have
•
an optimal exposure. If the object is only partly green, it is overexposed. Point the scanner to the object and
wait a little bit. The auto exposure finds the correct level automatically and the object is colored green com-
pletely
Major overexposure
General notes for scanning
Move the scanner always facing parallel to the surface of the object
•
The minimum operating distance of the scanner is 17 cm. If you are too close, the color field in the area of
•
interest will be red until you increase the distance
General behavior: The closer the scanner is to the target surface of the object, the better the data density for
•
reconstructing the surface
The surface quality of the scan object will improve by scanning through multiple passes. The outcome is
•
smoother and the relevant anatomical structures are shown with higher accuracy
