30 3. Creating 3D Data
3-1 Task Flow
This machine can scan three-dimensional shapes using the included Dr. PICZA3 program. To make 3D data obtained by
scanning available for use by other programs, you need to convert and save the data using Dr. PICZA3.
This section describes the sequence of operations from getting ready to scan through to saving the 3D data.
1
Prepare the object to be scanned and mount it on the machine.
Check whether the object you want to scan (we'll call this the "scan object") is suitable for scanning, and if so,
mount it on the machine.
☞
See "3-2 Mounting the Scan Object."
2
Perform scanning.
Use Dr. PICZA3 to carry out scanning (basic scanning).
☞
See "3-3 Performing Scanning."
3
Finish the data.
After the basic scanning, you finish the data to the appropriate degree by performing additional scanning and
creating polygon meshes as required.
☞
See "3-4 Finishing the Data."
4
Save the data.
Save the finished data in a file format compatible with the program you're using.
☞
See "3-5 Saving and Exporting Data."
Using the included 3D Editor program lets you import directly and edit data scanned with Dr. PICZA3.
