Cleaning a Scan
During scanning, the scanner can sometimes pick up and add unintended points to
the scan. The cause of these points can be reflections off the surface of the object or
captured background movement, objects or reflections, amongst other things. In
response, we developed cleaning tools to help remove those unwanted points. It is
critical that you clean prior to meshing.
In Windows software, the scan will also often capture the scanner turntable. The scan
will have to be cleaned of the turntable so it doesn’t become a part of the final scan
file.
In Mac software, the turntable bed is not usually captured in the scan.
Cleaning Scans in Windows

scanner bed and what appear to be spots floating in mid-air.

To get rid of these unwanted points, the software has a “Clean” function.
