Choosing the right 3D scanning mode can make a major difference in how quickly a project comes together and how much cleanup is required afterward. Two of the most common options on modern handheld sc … read more

Symmetrical and repetitive objects can be surprisingly difficult to 3D scan. At first glance, they may look simple. A smooth wheel, a cylindrical part, a repeated row of fins, or a panel with identica … read more

When you're 3D scanning an object, it can be tempting to assume that more data always means a better result. Scan the surface again. Lower the point distance. Increase the resolution. Capture another … read more

Once a 3D scan is complete, one of the next major decisions is how that scan should be meshed. For many scanning workflows, the software will give you a choice between a watertight and non-watertight … read more

A good mesh starts with good scan data. It is easy to focus on meshing settings, smoothing, hole filling, and cleanup tools at the end of a project, but many of the problems that appear in a finished … read more
