Hey Tom, don't use markers - the software isn't set up to make use of them. However, if you add some "extra geometry" into the scan, it will help with alignment on symmetric pieces like this. My go...

Hi Tom, Adding some dots can help you match up the same exact spots in the manual alignment process. In the past when aligning symmetrical objects I've relied on the textures to to do so, but if y...

I am scanning some wind instrument mouthpieces for comparison. They are solid black and I've used spray. While my results are adequate for my application, I have noticed some slight abnormalities...

@DCLARS I use a free application called FreeCad to convert STL files to STEP. https://www.freecad.org/ It's a very simple process and there is a page that describes the steps.   https:...

Hi everyone, I am doing a whole lot better with this scanner after logging a whole bunch of hours with it.  Its actually unbelieveable how well it works when you get used to its features. A...

Not use what this answer means ... yes, no, maybe? I finally decided not to buy the THREE because for me the scanner provides only very basic features. The potential of the device is great from my...

How could I change the path of where the images are stored and give each image a specific name? I have tried to look at all the scripts in the library to see where it outputs but I am probably miss...

Thanks for the input Christian!

The idea to run all the processing only on the THREE device is great but also brings some limitations. E.g. storage space and GPU/CPU processing power. It would be excellent to have MFStudio SW (W...

I second the need to hide points. Just hiding a selection would give you the sectioned view asked for above. Having an isometric view would also be needed to get good box selections for this purpos...

Marker have lot of advantages especially when used on turntable because not calibration is needed. Tilt and position to turntable can be freely changed and all scan's can be aligned to even if til...

I am actually doing this with my DIY structured light scanner to capture texture and it works pretty well. You need to add polarized filter on the RGB camera who captures the texture AND also use ...

Hi Christian, i haven't tried it myself yet, but have you tried placing dice around your model as additional reference points ? Not as good as marker detection but maybe a workaround in the meantime ?

Is there a way to repostion scan to align with axis?

Yep, that's what I've been doing as a workaround for now, but leaves the surface looking like cornflakes. That's one of the few things I do miss about Artec Studio. They had a really decent remeshi...

Thanks for the quick response Drew. I'll do some experiments with polarizing film and let you know the results.

Noted, thanks Jordan. We'll see what we can do. Another option to skip the hole filling is to export the scan from the Scans screen, by going into the menu and choosing Export. This exports the po...

Hi Will, Thanks for the great idea. I don't have a ton of time lately to rnd this, but it sounds very plausible. I'll put it on my list. If you try it yourself let us know how it goes!

Could external adjustable polarizing filters for the camera and projector lenses be offered as an optional attachment to the scanner? Based on my experience with photogrmmetry, I think polarizing ...

Right now, my top request is an option for a remeshing algorithm that doesn't automatically fill holes. I recognize the way that the Poisson screen method works, it's not really an option, but if y...
