- Pay closer attention to the object on the screen rather than looking at the actual object.
- Ensure that Artec Studio can accurately register frames from the scanner. To this end, do the following:
- Don’t move the scanner too fast
- Keep the object as close to the center of the field of view as possible
- Maintain the scanner orientation in such a way that the field of view is sufficiently filled with surfaces
- Try to position the scanner in the way the most surfaces in the field of view are colored in green which corresponds to the center of the range meter.
- If you’re capturing an object over several scans, remember to capture a common area in each one to ensure successful alignment.
- If you’re capturing an object in one scan, do so all the around the object – regardless of direction – plus a little more (360+ degrees)
- Avoid capturing any objects that may change shape during the scanning process. When the geometry of the scene is changing, the system may fail to find the correct position of new frames relative to previously aligned ones. If you have captured unwanted objects, you must remove them later during the editing stage.
- Don’t record too many frames: ensure that you have sufficiently scanned all regions, but avoid scanning them twice, except when providing overlapping areas for subsequent alignment.

Things to note
- Models that have more solid fills and well defined geometry scan much better and faster. In the example below, the scan takes less than 4 3 minutes to produce the 3d product of the model on the left. The software tries to fill out the holes and gaps in the original model but overall produces a good quality 3d model.
