Post your scans here !

I left the scanner in the calibrated position and on the turntable i rotated the dino by hand in all his angles to get the hidden spots.

Nice scan. Congrats.

You don't need to leave the scanner in the calibrated position. Myself i free scan for the past few weeks and calibrated only once.

Yes, that's a nice scan, nicely focussed detail, so well done. (y)
Did you mesh it from the point cloud .asc files or use the auto align function in the software?
I found the optical distance from scanner to surface is around 430mm to get a clean focus on the black & white unphase lines, and I think it helps if you don't deviate too much from the previous scan.
I made a mistake on my first free scans by having the scanner too far away from the object, and I'm sure it decreased the surface resolution, and I noticed surface artefacts too. Anybody else have a recommended distance?
57 scans seems a lot, as 8 is for the typical turntable scan, but moving the camera higher and lower is more beneficial to get easier alignment, than doing the equivalent of one planar rotation, then flipping the object. It definitely seems to work better moving the scanner around.

Thank you i guess i got luck on that !
I did auto align that worked like a charm , but i also saved the .asc files in case i needed them.
How can i do the alignment manually with .asc files ??? is there a tutorial somewhere ???
Since i didn't move from the calibration position although i was in free mode my distance was close to 430-500mm and i never moved the scanner , i was only repositioning the model.
I also thought that 57 scans were a lot but there were many hidden angles and i was too lazy to setup the scanner on the tripod ...
The model was 99% scanned and only about 1% of the surface was left to auto water tight. Especially the area inside the mouth was very hard !
I had around 10-12 scans to get the inside....

e....

The .asc files are already aligned, but they contain the XYZ coordinates of the point cloud. To convert that to an .stl file, follow this procedure:

Could be helpful if you are not happy sometimes with the way Einscan does the meshing.

Thank you , i will try it for fun anyway !

Ok. Having seen some of the magnificant scans posted here mine seems somewhat primative. Still. Here goes. This was done using the turntable, hi-res. Model was sprayed with white primer. I scanned it with the tires down, then a scan on the right and left side. .. Next will be trying free scanning.

hi,

i am the new member of Ein-scan.
Quality wise hats off.
Still struggling with accuracy.
not achieving what was expected less than 0.1mm.
Here are some images of scan, i did.

I know , i didn't have much space on the table and i was too lazy to take it apart and connect it again...

This is the biggest scan I've done so far at 216mm in height. It took 3 passes on the turntable at various angles.
I used Meshmixer to lightly smooth a couple of areas where the alignment left marks but any remaining creases or wrinkles are from the original part and not scan artifacts.

I still struggle to scan flat circular objects, which is the most popular type of thing I scan (usually a replacement cover for something). I'm using a piece of plywood with gentle grain to help orient upon turning the object around. I use a binder clip to prop hold the circular object upright so it's standing on edge. Interestingly, binder clips completely vanish from scans, the scanner can't see them at all (great for me). With this setup, I can at least get a few sets of scans that I am trying to clean up with Meshlab/Meshmixer.

Also, I used to have a lot of problems with dark black plastic items (either matte or gloss). Others have recommended some expensive sprays to cover the surface. A light dusting from a can of Tinactin foot spray is working great for me, and it wipes off clean later!
