What to expect for your 3D scanning session

First Steps

First, we’ll go over the basics and explain the process so you’ll know exactly what to expect and answer any questions you may have. It’s very helpful if you have an idea of how you want to pose for the scan. Once these details are reviewed, an overhead projector will be used to display the scanning process for both the scanner opperator and you as the model. You will not be always able to see the scanning in real time depending on the direction you’re facing and what part of the process is currently happening. You will be able to see the intermediate results as 3D scan data is reviewed to ensure there are no gaps in the coverage between sections.

What should you wear for your scan?

The best results are achieved with clothing that fits snuggly and has very little bunching. Small changes in posture or stance will easily change the geometry of the clothing which then causes problems in post processing because the software cannot match the 3D scan layers together. Next, do not wear shiny / light reflecting jewelry, belt buckles or accessories. The scanner cannot “see” these and the 3D model just ends up with a bright white ‘hole’ where the reflective object was located.

How long does it take?

Expect to spend about 20 minutes for the scan. You won’t need to stand still for the entire session. After scanning each section, it takes a few minutes to review the scans to ensure the entire area is fully captured. After the scan is complete, you can expect an email in 2-3 days with the download link to save your model to your device. The files will be in .stl and .obj format.

How much does it cost?

We charge $99 for a scan of your body from the waist up. For a full body scan, the cost is $199.
