coating the object’s surface with scanning spray, baby powder, or
dry shampoo.
| Hard-to-scan Surfaces | Possible Solutions |
|---|---|
| Black or very dark objects | Apply scanning spray or fine powder materials |
| Shiny or reflective objects | Apply scanning spray or fine powder materials |
| Metal or electroplated surfaces | Apply scanning spray or fine powder materials |
| Transparent objects | Apply scanning spray or fine powder materials |
Scanning Objects with Plain Surfaces
For optimal color scanning, please ensure that the object is
evenly lit with soft light and that there are no dark or hard
shadows.

Scanning Objects with Plain Surfaces
Scanning objects with simple geometric features, like a football or wine bottle, requires using Marker stickers or marker points and scanning in Marker Mode. 1. Place the Marker stickers on or around the objects’ surface irregularly and ensure there are at least 5 Marker stickers per frame for the entire scan, or the scanner will lose track. 2. Alternatively, reference objects (these are any objects with distinct features that can be easily tracked) can be used. Place 1 to 3 reference objects around the item you are scanning for the 3D scanner to track. If doing this, you can use the scanner in Feature tracking mode for the scan. Please scan the QR code to watch a Marker stickers video tutorial.
Color Scanning
For optimal color scanning, please ensure that the object is evenly lit with soft light and that there are no dark or hard shadows.
