I use a wire mesh normally used for fencing and 3d printed clips that are put to the wire and where the markers are sticked on. I made different sizes and made magnetic spacers or use clamps to hold the wire mesh in place.

[@EMS3D]

Yes that is a great idea. One of our customers does that and I thought about putting that in the video. We have used the flexible nylon fishnets with targets on them but found they move around too easily and you have to start your scan over.

[@harrywind1870]

@@EMS3D that's one reason why I don't use the flexible nylon mesh. The other issue is that the cleanup of the mesh gets messy because it easily gets in contact with the scanned object. When using the wired mesh with spacers I only need to delete the scanned spacers and can the use the semi automated selection tools of the scansoftware to easily select and delete the scanned wires. However the downside is that you can only bend the wired mesh in one direction to follow the geometry of the object. So for a car for example you will need multiple meshes in different sizes to cover everything. And they also aren't easy to store and carry around and you need to pay attention to not scratch the object if its sensitive like the paint of a car.

Great video!! Over the last couple of years I’ve traveled to Thailand with my handy scan as well all over the US. I have designed many different target domes and even made my own tape strip with targets on it. Watching this video was amazing

[@EMS3D]

Thanks. Glad you liked it.

Very informative video. I'm grateful for the 3d print files. I'll be testing these hexagonal shapes on a car.

[@EMS3D]

Let us know how it works out.

Very good and useful video. Is it possible to download the files mentioned in the video from somewhere? Thanks!
