These are my disorganized notes regarding the Einscan HX software.

Black and dark surfaces require the laser.

Scanning at 0.1mm creates too many points, just use 0.5mm.

Einscan calls a scan a "project". Scans (projects) are grouped together in Project Groups. When scanning even a small part, expect to do several scans. In other words, create several projects then align the projects before generating the mesh.

The workflow with the software is something like this:

  * assemble the hardware.
  * calibrate the scanner
  * select laser or rapid (optical)
  * create a project group 
  * repeat these steps until the object is completed scanned:
  - create a project (the first project is created automatically)
  - do the scanning.
  - trim the scan using the editing tools
  - save the trims
  - generate a pointcloud for this scan
