Capture process

How scanner choice shapes the final data.

Different parts need different capture approaches. This page explains how geometry, surface finish, access, detail level, and final deliverable influence the scanning workflow.

Scanner process

Scanner choice follows the part.

Different parts need different capture behavior. Part size, finish, access, and required output guide the capture method selected for the job.

01ReviewPart size, surface finish, detail level, access, and required output.
02CaptureSelect a suitable handheld or structured-light capture approach for the job.

Method selected around the job.

Capture and processing choices depend on the part, surface, access, and agreed final output.

Part reviewSize, finish, detail, access, and movement are considered before capture begins.
Capture approachA suitable scanning method is selected for the geometry and required output.
Data preparationCaptured data is aligned, cleaned, and organized for the agreed next step.
Optional follow-on workCAD reconstruction or geometry comparison is scoped separately when required.

Have a part that needs capture?

Scanner selection depends on size, finish, detail, access, and what the final files need to accomplish.
