Marker points for 3D scanning — precise reference points that improve accuracy, speed, and stability of your scans. Key benefits Accurate positioning: Marker points act as known reference coordinates in the scanning space, enabling more precise calculation of 3D surface coordinates and producing lower-error 3D models. Simplified calibration: Proper placement of marker points speeds up scanner calibration and helps the system quickly recognize and adapt to different scanning environments, reducing manual adjustment time. Reduced scanning error and increased stability: During scanning, markers serve as fixed references that compensate for minor machine movement or object deformation, lowering alignment and registration errors. Broad adaptability: Marker points are effective across a wide range of object materials, shapes, and sizes, and can be used in both indoor and outdoor scenes to expand the flexibility of your 3D scanning workflow. Function and compatibility Function: Provide fixed, known points in the scene to support coordinate calculation, registration, and alignment during 3D scanning. Compatibility: Designed to integrate into common 3D scanning workflows and setups, suitable for use with different scanner types and software that rely on external reference markers. Performance: When used correctly, markers improve scan accuracy, reduce rework, and shorten setup and calibration time. Practical attributes to consider Placement: Markers should be distributed to cover the scanning area and the object surface for best registration and minimal error. Application range: Effective for small to large objects and for scenes with variable lighting and geometry. Durability and visibility: Choose marker materials and attachment methods appropriate for the object and environment to ensure they remain fixed and detectable throughout the scan. Typical use scenarios Cultural heritage and museum digitization: Place markers on and around artifacts to capture detailed, low-error 3D models for preservation and research. Industrial inspection and reverse engineering: Use markers to improve dimensional accuracy when scanning mechanical parts, assemblies, or tooling. Architecture and outdoor surveying: Apply markers across building façades, sculptures, or sites to achieve reliable registration in large-scale or outdoor scans. How it solves common problems Reduces time spent on trial-and-error calibration by giving the scanner reliable reference points. Minimizes post-processing alignment work by improving initial scan registration. Lowers the risk of scan failure caused by object movement, deformation, or challenging surfaces. Usage tip Arrange markers to provide even coverage of the scene and object; verify visibility from multiple scan positions to maximize registration quality.
