3D scanning & laser scanning

AESUB Scanning Sprays

Reflective, glossy, or transparent surfaces make it difficult to perform precise optical 3D measurements. Scanning sprays create a uniform, matte surface, reduce distracting reflections, and thereby improve scan quality for 3D scanners, optical metrology, and laser scanners.

At WESTCAM, customers can purchase scanning sprays from AESUB and HELLING at attractive prices. The self-evaporating AESUB blue 400 ml is particularly popular; when purchasing a case of 12 cans, we offer it for €21.60 per can or €259.20 per case.

In addition to AESUB blue, we also carry AESUB orange, AESUB white, AESUB green, and AESUB yellow. The best scanning spray for your needs depends, among other things, on the desired scan time, sublimation time, and layer thickness.

Highlights

AESUB Sublimating Scanning Sprays

AESUB sublimating scanning sprays form a non-slip coating that sublimates on its own after scanning, eliminating the need to clean the components. In addition, the environment and users are not contaminated by pigments (according to the manufacturer’s description on the overview page).

AESUB blue 400 ml

self-evaporating scanning spray

AESUB blue is a pigment-free, self-evaporating scanning spray for fast and clean 3D measurements. The uniform white coating improves the optical capture of shiny, reflective, and difficult-to-scan surfaces and disappears on its own after the scan.

AESUB blue is particularly well-suited for routine measurement tasks in quality assurance, reverse engineering, product development, and industrial 3D Metrology.

AESUB Orange (spray can)

AESUB orange combines a very fine coating thickness with a long service life and is particularly suitable for precise 3D measurements over a longer period of time. The white, pigment-free coating creates a very good contrast and disappears after the scan without leaving any residue. An optimal solution for demanding applications.

  • 400-ml aerosol can
  • Minimum order: 1 box of 12 cans
  • Price per can: €24.75
  • Price per box: €297.00

AESUB Green (container)

AESUB green is a self-volatilizing 3D scanning spray as a container solution and is particularly suitable for large-area and automated scanning processes. The pigment-free coating ensures an even matt finish and disappears without residue after scanning. Ideal for spray gun applications where efficiency and reproducibility are paramount.

  • Container size: 1,000 ml
  • Minimum order: 4 bottles
  • Price per bottle: €40.50
  • Price for minimum order: €162.00

AESUB Yellow (container)

AESUB yellow is a self-volatilizing airbrush solution for applications with the highest accuracy requirements. The extremely thin, pigment-free coating enables precise 3D scans with minimal layer influence and disappears completely after the scan. Particularly suitable for fine structures and detail-critical measurement tasks.

  • Container size: 200 ml
  • Minimum order: 4 bottles
  • Price per bottle: €49.50
  • Price for minimum order: €198.00

Permanent scanning sprays

Permanent scanning sprays are always used when a permanent matt finish is required or when subsequent cleaning is deliberately accepted. They create a uniform, high-contrast surface for precise 3D scans and are particularly suitable for applications outside of sensitive measuring environments. In contrast to sublimating sprays, the coating remains on the component and can be removed as required.

AESUB White (spray can)

AESUB white is a permanent 3D scanning spray that produces a very even, matt surface for reliable scanning results.

It is suitable for many materials and applications where a permanent coating is acceptable. The spray is free from titanium dioxide (TiO₂), but contains pigments and should therefore not be used in the immediate vicinity of sensitive Metrology equipment.

  • Minimum order: 1 box of 12 cans
  • Price per can: €11.46
  • Price per box: €137.52

HELLING 3D laser scanning spray

The HELLING anti-reflection spray was specially developed to reduce disturbing reflections when measuring with 3D laser scanners.

It provides a matt, high-contrast surface and is often used in industrial testing and measuring applications. The coating is durable and can be removed with a suitable cleaner if necessary.

Frequently asked questions!

What is a sublimating scanning spray and when is it used?

A sublimating scanning spray is used for optical 3D scanning if components are to remain residue-free after the scan. The matting evaporates automatically and is particularly suitable for sensitive surfaces, precise Metrology and high-quality components.

When is a permanent scanning spray useful?

A permanent scanning spray is suitable for 3D scanning applications where permanent matting is permitted or required. It is often used in industrial testing and measuring processes and can be removed with a suitable cleaner if necessary.

What is the difference between 3D scanning and 3D laser scanning in scanning sprays?

In optical 3D scanning, scanning sprays improve the contrast by matting the surface. In 3D laser scanning, on the other hand, special anti-reflection sprays are used to reduce distracting reflections. The requirements for the scanning spray therefore differ significantly depending on the measurement method.

Which scanning spray is suitable for long scanning times?

For long 3D scanning times sublimating scanning sprays with an extended service life are suitable. They offer stable matting for several hours and are ideal for complex geometries or extensive measuring tasks without the need for cleaning.

Which scanning spray is suitable for high-precision 3D scanning?

For high-precision 3D scans, we recommend using a scanning spray with very low coating thicknessto minimize the influence on the measurement result. Such sprays are particularly suitable for detail-critical components and applications with the highest accuracy requirements.

Can I use the same scanning spray for 3D scanning and 3D laser scanning?

Different scanning sprays are generally used for optical 3D scanning and 3D laser scanning. While 3D scanning focuses on matting, laser scanning focuses on reducing reflections.
