【3D Scanning Applications】Powder Spray Performance Showdown: Four Developers Explained!

【3D Scanning Application】Scanning Spray Performance Showdown: Understanding Four Types of Developers in Seconds!

When performing 3D scanning, if the object to be scanned is made of materials that affect light reflection, such as black fabric, transparent glass, or reflective metal, it is usually necessary to spray scanning spray (developer) on the object's surface to facilitate scanning. So, how do you choose a scanning spray? Here's a summary of key characteristics and a performance comparison:

 
AESUB White 3D scanning spray (developer) is non-toxic and free of titanium dioxide (TiO2) particles, posing no harm to humans through inhalation, making it safe and reassuring to use. After scanning, the object can be easily cleaned with a soft brush or cloth.
 

The average layer thickness of AESUB White 3D scanning spray is 7µm. It can be applied thinly and evenly on the surface of transparent, reflective, or intricately detailed objects, enabling easy and stable 3D scanning.

 
Features:
1. Layer thickness: 7µm
2. Free of titanium dioxide (TiO2) particles
3. Even spray distribution
4. Stable and durable adherence to the object
5. Easy to clean with water
6. Cost-effective

 
.Applicable objects:
1. Transparent glass
2. Metal objects
3. Black (dark) sample models
4. Models, artworks, sculptures
5. Automotive and aerospace parts (headlights, tires, helmets)
6. Any waterproof item

 
MAGNAFLUX SKD-S2 3D scanning spray is a halogen-free developer that, with its fast-drying properties, forms an opaque white surface, creating a clear contrast of light and shadow on the object. This effectively ensures a smooth and stable 3D scanning process. After use, it can be cleaned with plain water.
MAGNAFLUX SKD-S2 meets the requirements for aerospace technology and nuclear industries, and is halogen-free.
 
Features:
1. Halogen-free ingredients
2. Non-fluorescent
3. Easy to clean with water
4. Complies with NDT (Non-Destructive Testing) specifications
5. Fast-drying
 
Applicable objects:
1. Industrial parts
2. Welded test objects
3. Models, artworks, sculptures
4. Any waterproof item


 
MAGNAFLUX WCP-2 3D scanning spray is a bright white, opaque NDT developer that complies with ISO 9934 and BS5044 certification standards. In addition to being used for 3D scanning to facilitate and stabilize reverse engineering, it also provides a high-contrast white background for magnetic particle testing, enhancing both detection probability and sensitivity.
 

WCP-2 spray can be used with all types of wet and dry magnetic particles. Its fast-drying property, when sprayed evenly, effectively reduces glare and reflection when using non-fluorescent, colored magnetic particles. This allows clear display of results on an opaque white background, improving 3D scanning and inspection speed.
Features:
1. Can be used for magnetic particle inspection
2. Effectively reduces glare and reflection
3. Requires alcohol cleaning
4. Complies with NDT (Non-Destructive Testing) specifications
5. Fast-drying
 
Applicable objects:
1. Objects with magnetic particle components
2. Transparent glass
3. Metal objects
4. Black (dark) sample models
5. Objects that can come into contact with alcohol 
For objects like fabric, paper, metal, or electronic components such as circuit boards, which cannot come into contact with water, using a scanning spray that requires water or a damp cloth for cleaning during 3D scanning would lead to damage from water absorption or friction. Also, spray residue stuck in crevices might make the parts unrecoverable.
 

AESUB Blue 3D scanning spray (developer) has a layer thickness of 5-15µm and can self-evaporate. Developed and verified by scanning experts, its formula is pigment-free and will not damage the object's appearance. After scanning, no cleaning is required, effectively saving time and cost, while ensuring the object can be restored to its original state and function normally!

Features:
1. Self-evaporates within 4 hours (heating and airflow can accelerate the process)
2. No cleaning required
3. Even spray distribution
4. Pigment-free
5. Suitable for complex structures, hard-to-clean parts, or parts with crevices

 
Applicable objects:
1. Fabric, paper
2. Metal objects
3. Electronic objects (phones, circuit boards, DSLR cameras)
4. Automotive and aerospace parts (headlights, tires, helmets)
5. Models with complex structures and numerous crevices
6. Plants
