1. The 3Shape scanner has three axes allowing you three degrees of freedom to move rotate and swing the loaded part in relation to the scanning head You can adjust the positions of all axes within their allowed range in the virtual scanner For every position the software calculates how the laser beam intersects with the reference model and which parts of the intersecting line are visible by one or two of the cameras on the scanning head Only points visible by both cameras are considered during the scanning 7 Rotation 2 Swing 3 Linear To create a scan program do the following 1 Open the Define scan program section In the Scan Planning and Execution window unfold the Define scan program section Set from view checkbox allows you to lock the position of the scanner at your viewing angle Check this box if you want the scanner to see what your eyes see TIP This is especially useful to re scan areas where there are holes Please see more details on how to add new scan lines to cover holes in the Scan Execution section 2 Choose the Linear position type Select the Linear position type e Auto Automatically sets start and end positions for scanning Use the Swing and Rotation edit boxes to define the position of scanner The precision of the scan can be set in the Resolution edit box Rotation steps edit box allows to set the number of lines in the scan program Each line will have the same parameters e Custom Al

Automatic Optimize AAA a aa a aa a A Note that computing the score can be slow so you may only want to enable it when making final adjustments You can load and save a transformation to a file This will be useful if you use a fixture with reproducible multiple positions like a mechanism to flip the part If you have such a fixture you can calibrate its transforms by scanning a known object in each position and using the above registration methods Once satisfied save the transform action In that case when scanning other objects you can use the same transform action again 21 4 3 6 SETTINGS The registration is computationally extensive Therefore by default only a representative portion of all scan points is used in the calculation In almost all cases this will work fine You can however force how many points should be evaluated Evaluate one point out of checkbox In the extreme you can evaluate all i e 1 point out of 1 Select the Use weight by facet area checkbox to minimize the points density drawbacks Use this option if point density varies a lot in different parts of a scan The number of iterations determines the precision of the final alignment The default value generally works fine but you may gain a little by increasing it This means that will increase Manual Ae Points gt ROI y Settings Use weight by facet area Evaluate one point out of 10 Iterations 25 Ignore distances greater than Step 1
