The Set Up

Learn how to set up the scanning environment and find out about the do's and don’ts of scanning.

Step 1

Make sure you're able to move around your object.

You need a good amount of floor space. If you can’t walk around your object you will need a bigger space.

Step 2

Your object should be high enough so you don’t have to crouch down.

Use something like a table or high stool to rest your object on if it isn’t free standing already.

Place your object at the right height for scanning.

Step 3

Your object should be well lit so it is easy for the scanner to see it. 

Make sure you have a good source of light. If your object is too dark, the smartphone camera will struggle to capture it and the colour information on the screen won't make any sense.
