I am helping a company in South India purchase a 3D printer and scanner. Some of the parts they would like to scan are an inch or so in size, and made from clear material. Is this going to be a problem in scanning those parts, and if so, are there any solutions?

I can post a photo of one of the parts if that would help, but I'd rather this be a "generic" question, as other parts might look very different in shape.


Possible solutions I am thinking of include using some kind of dye to make the part surface opaque.
