Frequently Asked Question
How to achieve better model details?
1. The blue-light mode provides more precise scans compared to the infrared mode.
2. Adjust the exposure time of the IR camera during scanning to achieve moderate
exposure. Overexposure will be displayed as red, while underexposure will appear as
blue. In blue-light mode, also adjust the laser intensity to the appropriate level.
3. Maintain the optimal scanning distance. The closer the scanner is to the object,
without losing tracking, the more detailed the scan will be.
4. During point cloud optimization, use a smaller point distance for finer details. For
smaller objects, set the point distance to 0.1mm.
5. When meshing, ensure that the number of faces in the model is sufficiently large.

How to scan the bottom of an object?
1. Creality Scan software offers a multi-project merging feature. This allows you to scan
different orientations of an object and merge them to create a complete model.
2. First, scan the visible part of the object to create a partial model. Then flip the object
and continue scanning the bottom side. This method is only possible if marker points
are attached to the surface of the object.
When do I need a scanning pad?
•
Use a scanning pad when scanning smaller objects like parts, small figures, or objects
that need support. Marker points can be placed on the pad to assist in scanning.
When do I need to use marker point mode?
•
Blue-light mode requires the use of reflective marker points.
•
In infrared mode, marker points are necessary when the surface of the object lacks
clear geometric features.
When do I need to use texture mode?
•
If the object's surface lacks geometric features but has rich textures (e.g., vases or
sculptures), you can scan it in texture mode directly.
