3D Scanning Process

  • Step 1A) Apply Reflective Decals

    On clear or highly reflective surfaces, it is usually necessary to apply reflective decals at random over the surface.

  • Step 1B) If necessary add texture

    The surface is coated with a non-destructive texturizing spray that disappears within hours or can be washed away.

  • Step 1) Rough Initial Scan

    This is what it looks like after initial the initial scan, including all the extra items not needed for the surface.

  • Cleaned Scan

    Step 2) Cleaned Scan

    The scan is the "cleaned" by removing all unwanted scanned points leaving only desired points to create a point cloud. If needed multiple scans can be made and joined together.

  • Step 3) Point Cloud Generation

    The software converts the cleaned scanned data into a point cloud.

  • Step 4A) Triangular Mesh with Texture

    The software will convert, through various filter selections, the point cloud into a triangular mesh. Patches can easily be applied manually. In this case with the surface texture mapping. Ready for use in other CAD packages.

  • Step 4B) Triangular Mesh without Texture

    The software will convert, through various filter selections, the point cloud into a triangular mesh. In this case without the surface texture mapping. Ready for use in other CAD packages.
