English
- Handheld mode: Scans large parts placed where a tripod cannot reach.
- Tripod + turntable mode: An automatic 3D scanning system that makes 3D scanning simpler than ever.
- Full-color 3D scanning Supports fashion, fine arts and more, as well as full-color 3D printers.

How to read a 3D scanner spec sheet
3D scanner spec sheets use a lot of technical terms. Knowing what each line means helps you pick the right scan mode and judge what the device can really do.
| Term | Meaning | Practical impact |
|---|---|---|
| Scan accuracy | How far the data deviates from the real dimensions | Decides whether the data is usable for reverse engineering or inspection |
| Point distance | The spacing between two neighboring points on the mesh | Smaller means sharper detail and heavier files |
| Scan speed | Frames captured per second, or time per capture | Affects scan time and how smooth handheld scanning feels |
| Single scan range | The area captured in one shot | A wider area scans large objects faster |
| Align mode | How the software stitches scans together | The wrong mode easily causes misalignment or lost tracking |
Scan alignment methods
Alignment is what determines overall accuracy, especially on large objects. Three common methods:
- Marker alignment: stick round reflective dots on or around the object. Accurate and stable, good for large objects and surfaces with few features.
- Feature alignment: the software recognizes surface shapes to stitch scans, with no markers needed. Good for detailed objects like statues, but it can drift on flat or uniformly smooth surfaces.
- Turntable alignment: the object’s position comes from the turntable angle. Automatic and consistent, good for small objects.
Tips to reach the published accuracy
The accuracy on a spec sheet is usually achieved under standard conditions. To get close to it, calibrate the scanner regularly, scan under stable lighting away from direct sunlight, treat shiny or dark surfaces with anti-glare powder, and use a computer that meets the maker’s recommended specs. If you need to measure deviation against drawings, use a 3D inspection service with a 3D scanner that has a proper workflow and dedicated comparison software.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between handheld and automatic scan modes?
Handheld scanning is flexible and suits large or hard-to-move objects, but accuracy depends on the operator. Automatic scanning on a tripod and turntable gives higher, more consistent accuracy, but limits object size.
Can a white-light scanner be used outdoors?
It is usually not recommended. Strong sunlight washes out the light pattern projected onto the object, so the scanner struggles to capture data. If you must scan outdoors, create shade or scan when the light is soft.
Why spray powder on transparent or shiny objects?
Transparent surfaces let light pass through and shiny surfaces bounce it in other directions, so the camera cannot read the light pattern correctly. A thin powder coat gives a matte surface so the scanner captures data reliably.
What format should scan data be exported in for 3D printing?
STL is the most common format for 3D printing. OBJ and PLY are used when you need to keep color, and ASC is a point cloud format often used for advanced processing.
