Scanning sprays <\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Reflective, shiny or transparent surfaces are often a challenge for optical measuring systems: reflections and a lack of contrast impair the scan quality.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scanning sprays (also known as matting sprays \/ anti-glare sprays \/ anti-reflection sprays) create an even, homogeneous surface – for more precise 3D scans, better contrasts and more stable results in optical 3D Metrology, 3D laser scanning and, depending on the application, also in photogrammetry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Subliminating scannin sprays<\/h2>\n\n

    Volatilizing (sublimating) scanning sprays form a non-slip coating<\/strong> that evaporates automatically<\/strong> after scanning – there is no need to clean the components. In addition, environments\/users are not contaminated by pigments (according to the manufacturer’s description on the overview page). <\/p>\n\n

    AESUB Blue (spray can)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    AESUB blue<\/strong> is ideal for quick and clean 3D scans without the need for additional cleaning. The white, pigment-free coating ensures an even matt finish and evaporates automatically after the scan. This makes the spray particularly suitable for daily standard measuring tasks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      AESUB Orange (spray can)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      AESUB orange<\/strong> 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. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      • Scan time:<\/strong> approx. 4-8 hours<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Sublimation time:<\/strong> approx. 12-24 hours<\/li>\n\n\n\n

        AESUB Green (container)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

        AESUB green<\/strong> is a self-volatilizing 3D scanning spray as a container solution<\/strong> 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. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

          AESUB Yellow (container)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

          AESUB yellow<\/strong> is a self-volatilizing airbrush solution<\/strong> 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. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

            Permanent scanning sprays<\/h2>\n\n

            Permanent scanning sprays are always used when a permanent matt finish<\/strong> 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. <\/p>\n\n

            AESUB White (spray can)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

            AESUB white is a permanent 3D scanning spray that produces a very even, matt surface for reliable scanning results. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

            It is suitable for many materials and applications where a permanent coating is acceptable. The spray is free from titanium dioxide (TiO\u2082), but contains pigments and should therefore not be used in the immediate vicinity of sensitive Metrology equipment. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

            HELLING 3D laser scanning spray<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

            The HELLING anti-reflection spray<\/strong> was specially developed to reduce disturbing reflections when measuring with 3D laser scanners. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

            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. <\/p>\n<\/div>
