Why More Scan Data Isn't Always Better in 3D Scanning

31st Aug 2026

When you're 3D scanning an object, it can be tempting to assume that more data always means a better result. Scan the surface again. Lower the point distance. Increase the resolution. Capture another … read more

Watertight vs. Non-Watertight Meshes: Which One Do You Need?

31st Aug 2026

Once a 3D scan is complete, one of the next major decisions is how that scan should be meshed. For many scanning workflows, the software will give you a choice between a watertight and non-watertight … read more

How to Get Cleaner 3D Scan Data Before Meshing

25th Aug 2026

A good mesh starts with good scan data. It is easy to focus on meshing settings, smoothing, hole filling, and cleanup tools at the end of a project, but many of the problems that appear in a finished … read more

How to Scan Deep Holes, Recesses, and Difficult Geometry

24th Aug 2026

Some of the most challenging areas to capture with a 3D scanner are often relatively small: deep holes, recessed pockets, narrow slots, sharp internal corners, and undercuts. These features are commo … read more

How to Choose the Right 3D Scanning Mode

17th Aug 2026

Modern 3D scanners often include several scanning modes, each designed around a different balance of speed, detail, tracking, surface compatibility, and working range. Choosing the right mode can make … read more
