39 SC ANNING 101 SC ANNING WITH YO UR MAKERBOT DIGITIZER If your objec t does hav e fea tures that o verl ap other parts of it, pl ace the obje ct so that the hardest part t o see is as visibl e as possibl e to both the l asers and the c amera. For e xampl e, a bowl might be pl aced on it s side with the inside facing the c enter of the turntabl e.
40 SC ANNING 101 T o get the best sc an possible , choose the scan pr eset that be st matches the obje ct you want t o scan. S can prese ts are based on an obje ct’s sha de value , and each pr eset c ov ers a rang e of shades.

44 SC ANNING 101 During a scan, the Mak erBot Digitizer Desktop 3D S canner shines l aser beams on y our object. The camer a captures imag es of the la ser lines and MakerW are for Digitiz er transl ates thos e images int o a point cloud.
45 SC ANNING WITH YO UR MAKERBOT DIGITIZER SC ANNING AN OBJECT Ensure that the c amera fil ter is positioned ov er the camer a lens. A void touching the camer a filt er or camera l ens. T o begin a new scan, Mak erW are for Digitizer must be in the Ne w Scan st ate .
