VISION or LASER Scanning? – ASCAND has you covered.
Which one is right for you?
The ASCAND 3D-Scanning platform supports both vision and laser analysis of your scan videos. Understanding when to use each method can significantly enhance your scanning results.
Using the 3D-Capture:VISION without lasers is an easy way to start and is sufficient for most draft and standard use cases. This method is ideal for:
- Creating meshes for basic 3D printing
- Acquiring point clouds for 3D modeling software such as Blender, Meshlab, or others
- Generating LEGO build plans and Minecraft Schematic files
- Scanning in bright environments and day light
It delivers Point Clouds (PLY), 3D Printable Meshes (STL), and Color Meshes (OBJ) with resolutions down to 0.4mm using the Standard Table and resolutions down to 0.2mm using the freely downloadable MACRO kit.
The 3D-Capture:LASER Expansion Kit enhances the 3D Scan Toolbox by adding laser triangulation. It can be added to the VISION whenever it is needed. This method offers several advantages:
- Improves overall detail level in non-transparent and non-reflective objects
- Enables merging multiple scans into one, beneficial for scans that go beyond the object’s shell
- Provides better geometric accuracy
- Works better for models with cavities and holes
- Depending on the laser used, it is more sensitive to light and works in darker scan environments
It delivers Point Clouds (PLY), 3D Printable Meshes (STL), and Color Meshes (OBJ) with resolutions down to 0.19 mm using the Standard Table and resolutions down to 0.09 mm using the freely downloadable MACRO kit.
How Many Credits for a Scan?
We DO NOT CHARGE A SUBSCRIPTION FEE NOR DO WE DEDUCT any Credits from your account for processing a Scan Video.
Your scans will be sent to your Dashboard as a Preview. ONLY when you like the results and wish to download the generated files, you can unlock the files associated with your scan for the required credits shown. 1 Credit is the equivalent of 1 EURO (approx. US$ 1.10).
Remember that all the Credits that are included in your ASCAND Kits are valid for ONE FULL YEAR to give you all the time you need to do all the 3D scanning you like.
Draft – 1 Credit
This resolution of a Draft Scan is approx 0.5 mm. Most of the times this is sufficient for a basic STL Mesh to be sliced for a 3D printer. A VISION Scan Video is sufficient for this quality setting
Standard – 2 Credits
This resolution of a Standard Scan is approx 0.25 mm. This is sufficient for any STL Mesh to be sliced for a 3D printer. A VISION Scan Video is sufficient for this quality setting
Detail – 3 Credits
This resolution of a Detail Scan is approx 0.1 mm. This is sufficient for advanced workflows exceeding 3D quality requirements. You need a LASER Scan Video to create model files with this quality setting.
Draft – 1 Credit
Standard – 2 Credits
Detail – 3 Credits
