Tools

Scanner and software workflow chosen around the part.

Capture and processing methods are selected around part size, surface, access, required detail, and the agreed final output.

Equipment / Tools Equipment / Tools

Capture planning

Part size, finish, access, movement, and required output are reviewed before scanning.

Scanning method

A suitable capture approach is selected for the geometry and project conditions.

Data preparation

Captured geometry is aligned, cleaned, and organized for the agreed next step.

Capture system

Scanner choice is a workflow decision.

Tool selection follows the part surface, size, access, required detail, and agreed output.

Surface matte / shiny / dark / textured Output mesh / CAD / compare / handoff Access line of sight and usable coverage

Technical workflow

Each stage has a specific job.

Capture planning, scanning, data preparation, CAD scoping, and comparison are treated as distinct work stages.

The required stages and file formats are agreed before work begins.
