Scan Settings Accuracy Standard Accuracy: The post-processing time will be longer, but the results are more suitable
for applications needing more detail. High-speed (18 fps): The frame rate can be up to 18 fps, and the scanner can quickly capture
an object’s 3D data. Tracking Mode Feature Tracking: Used to scan objects with detailed, distinct features, like the sample bust. Marker Tracking: Used to scan objects with simple geometric features, like the basketball or bowl.
Object Type General Object: Used to scan most objects with distinct features. Dark Object: Used to scan objects with dark surfaces or distinct surface color contrasts. Face: Used to scan people’s faces. Body: Used to scan the entirety of the body, from the upper and lower regions to the limbs and hair.
Color Scanning Toggle Color Scanning: The scanner captures the color and shape information of the object when
scanning. [Texture Mapping] can be applied during post-processing. Untoggle Color Scanning: The scanner only captures the shape information of the object when
scanning. [Texture Mapping] is not supported during post-processing.
