OC Library EinScan-SE 3D Scanner

The scanner works best with objects that have the following characteristics:

• Opaque
  The scanner will not pick up transparent surfaces.
  • TO SCAN:  Dust the outside of the surface with baby powder.
     
• Matte
  Shiny or reflective objects will skew the scan.
  • TO SCAN:  Dust the outside of the surface with baby powder.
     
• Uniform brightness
  The scanner prefers brighter objects but can scan darker objects with the right preparation or settings.  A mixture of light and dark will complicate the scan.
  • TO SCAN:  Dust the outside of the surface with baby powder.
     
• Smooth texture
  Objects with high texture (fur, hair, etc.) will be difficult to scan.
  • TO SCAN:  Note that you may not get precise results.  Multiple scans from many angles may be necessary.
     
• Solid construction (no deep holes, gaps, lattice design, etc.)
  The scanner works by projecting light on an object, so especially intricate and hollow items will be difficult to scan.
  • ​TO SCAN:  Results may be only at the surface level.  Multiple scans from many angles may be necessary.  
     
• Maximum weight 5 kg / 11 lbs
  Heavier weights may damage the scanner turntable.
  • ​TO SCAN:  Use of automatic turntable discouraged; switch to Fixed Scan.  Prop up object with heavy objects next to scanner.  Multiple scans from many angles may be necessary.
     
• Minimum size 30mm x 30mm x 30mm / 1.2" x 1.2" x 1.2"
  Objects that are too small may not be properly scanned.
  • ​TO SCAN:  Scan will be difficult.  Attempt to reduce additional complicating factors.  Multiple scans from many angles may be necessary.
     
• Maximum size 250mm x 250mm x 250mm / 9.8" x 9.8" x 9.8"
  Objects that are too large will not fit on the turntable.
  • TO SCAN:  Use of automatic turntable discouraged; switch to Fixed Scan.  Prop up object with heavy objects next to scanner.  Multiple scans from many angles may be necessary.
