Step 2: 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.
Detaching the Sensor Unit
Fit the cover onto the sensor unit as shown in the figure.
While gently pressing down on the cover with
one hand, tighten the screw shown in the
figure.
Remove the sensor unit by following steps 2, 3, and 6 of "Attach the Sensor
Unit" in reverse order.
