AESUB 3D Scanning Spray 

AESUB is a spray formulated specifically to aid in 3D scanning. The spray imparts an even, thin, matte white surface finish onto the part allowing white light 3D scanners to resolve even the most challenging surfaces. It makes previously impossible to scan materials like glass, metal and clear plastics and rubbers a breeze. As well as providing a consistent scan surface for increased scan accuracy and easier feature tracking.

AESUB Diamond is a vanishing spray/aerosol for surface matting for optical digitization (3D scanning), ideal for all common digitization and measurement systems. AESUB diamond is a cutting-edge solution tailored for the jewellery industry and ideal for very small parts, with ultra thin application and quick vanishing times.

Using AESUB Diamond, a temporary, optically ideal surface is created to quickly and precisely capture even complex surfaces (transparent, translucent, reflective,..). AESUB Diamond forms an ultra thin white homogeneous, grip-resistant layer with 2 μm thickness on which even reference points adhere. AESUB Diamond is free of pigments, evaporates quickly and completely after application (within 15-30 mins) . Subsequent cleaning of the scan objects is thus no longer necessary. 

AESUB Diamond Spray

• Produces a white matte finish ideal for scanning with white light scanners (such as the Shining3D EinScan family)
• This is a sublimating spray. You spray your parts, and the material slowly sublimates (solid -> gas). You can scan and the material disappears. Your subject remains  unharmed and unaltered
• Leaves no residue and easy to handle
• Dissipates in approximately 15 - 30 Minutes

Even with state-of-the-art scanners, it is necessary to apply matting spray in several application cases:

• Transparent parts
  As we are dealing with optical technologies, light needs to be reflected off the surface back into the sensor of the scanner. In case of a transparent surface, however, the light will go through the surface instead of being reflected by the same. In consequence, the scanner is not able to capture the surface structure.
  
• Reflective parts
  In case of reflective parts, such as a mirror, the light beams will be reflected in a focused way instead of in a diffused way. This means that the chance of a beam hitting the reflector of the scanner is greatly reduced and the scanner will only capture a fraction of the reflected light beams.
  
• Deep Pocket
  When the object to be scanned has deep pockets, the scanner receives a reflection from the walls of the pocket onto the bottom. This causes disturbance in the pattern of the light manifesting in the scan as “artifacts” or bad data.
  
• High quality and accuracy
  When quality and accuracy are important, AESUB aides in scanning by controlling for as many visual quality differences as possible, such as colour, reflection, texture, etc. The use of spray creates a matte, white coat reducing reflection and other inhomogeneities and thus provides ideal scanning conditions.
