Also, another overall question is, is this the smoothest scan surface I can get with the HP SLS technology at this point?

Thanks!

I am currently trying to figure out how to reduce noise in scan surfaces. I have surfaces that are very smooth, yet the resulting scans show these areas with a mild roughness or noise. In the cases where I have spray coated the objects, there are a few spray blobs but most of the surface is smooth, ...

I have found many posts referring to line artifacts, wave artifacts, & noise but very few with an established solution. I don't 'see' lines/artifacts/noise shown in my camera images very often so it's hard to know when they will appear in the process. If you or someone has installed sync generat...

Thanks for this info! Not sure what the price of Geomagic is? I did a search but there's not much price info. I am currently using MeshMixer to edit the mesh and it is great for removing small blemishes on the surface. But I have not yet figured out how to deal with holes/filled holes. Should the ho...

Here are the lines I am getting in my scan: lines_in_scans_01.jpg When I fuse these scans, with smoothing I can get most of the lines to almost disappear but at the cost of less sharp edges on the object. I would rather not have the lines in the first place. I have the HP 2 camera system but can onl...

OK, lets say I have a shiny mechanical object (which has some flat surfaces). I coat my shiny object (with spray on powder or shampoo or whatever). Overall, the object is coated and looks good. But in a few spots, the spraying process spit out clumps or splats onto the surface of the object. (Need t...

Thanks very much for this info! The video tutorial must have been incorrect as it said the aperture was the only setting that could be changed after calibration. So in the case of using the Projector Brightness to adjust exposure... I wish the automatic turntable scanning had the ability to pause be...

OK, so I've got a problematic object with a glossy black surface on the outside and brush metal surface on the inside. I know that one major improvement is to coat the object to reduce reflections and matte the surface. But talcum powder is all I have at the moment until I get other supplies. I'm wo...

Thanks very much for these tips!

Spray Shampoo? I didn't even know there was such a thing. I will look into these.

I feel my most basic problem is the surface of this object. If I can get it coated better my scans should improve.

Thanks again.

Thanks for this tip! I will give this a try as well (hadn't considered that).

I assume the spray foot powder cleans off easily?

Thanks again.
