Load the Object to Be Scanned on the MODELA
The sensors for the MODELA are highly sensitive, and can even scan three-dimensional objects made out of clay.
You can usually perform scanning if the three-dimensional object is of a composition and configuration that can retain its shape.
However, the pressures that the sensors detect are from several grams to several tens of grams, so you cannot scan objects whose shape
changes when touched by the sensors. (Pressure may fluctuate, depending on the composition of the object being scanned.)
For instance, it may not be possible to scan something like a fuzzy stuffed animal or rubber.
Depending on the shape you're scanning, a maximum error equal to the radius of the probe (0.5 mm) may occur.
1
Remove the screws shown in the figure and detach
the work plate.
3
Install the work plate on MODELA and tighten the
screws.
2
Orient so the surface with the grid faces up.
Mount the object to be scanned.
Secure the object to be scanned in place on the
work plate for scanning.
Mount the object to scan securely in place so that
it does not move during scanning.
The grid on the table serves as a guide for
mounting the object to scan.
It does not indicate the scanning area for Dr.
PICZA.
The scale is in 10 mm (3/8 in.) units.
When the shape has a flat bottom and is easy
to secure in place
Secure in place with
double-sided tape.
When the bottom is uneven and difficult to
secure in place
When scanning as far as the bottom surface
of the object to be scanned
Make a base using clay, and press the
object into the clay base from above to
secure it in place.
Press in all the way, until flush.
