Mesh (Watertight/Unwater tight)

When scanning and editing are completed, click

to create mesh.

7.1.1.

Create Mesh

There are 2 types of mesh are available: Watertight and Unwater tight.

Watertight

Unwater tight

All holes will be filled automatically. The data
can directly be 3D printed.

Unclosed model stays the way it is scanned.
Processing time is quicker than Watertight.

Watertight quality:

Choose quality

TEXTURE WATERTIGHT

The texture capture is separate from the 3d data capture. If the texture has been captured,

it will still be displayed on areas where holes are filled in the mesh processing. If the texture is
missing, the corresponding mesh data will be in black.
