Please note that there are no universal settings that apply to every object; the workflow should be tailored to the specific item you are scanning. For optimal results, I recommend scanning the object on a turntable with the scanner positioned at a 45-degree angle, capturing at least three different angles of the cast.
Once the scans are complete, manually fuse them at the 0.02 mm setting. Before merging, ensure you clean the scans by removing overlapped and loose points. After merging these cleaned scans, perform a final cleaning of the point cloud to remove any remaining overlapped or loose points. Your fixed point cloud will then be ready for export or meshing into a final 3D model.
To achieve the best mesh from a fused point cloud, always ensure the meshing GRID level matches the fusion level. For example, if you fused at 0.02 mm, the meshing level should also be set to 0.02 mm. Avoid using a higher level than the proposed GRID settings, as this can create artificial points, damage details, and result in unnecessary processing time.
I hope this information is helpful to your process.
I didn’t realize there was a version 6 I had just upgraded to 5 before the new year. I will update immediately.
With the new software you are recommending 3 scan angles now?
Can I use the turntable software to do one continuous scan that changes angles every rotation or do they have to be 3 scans interrupted in between?
Would you recommend a 30% overlap type thing for each pass or are we manipulating the dental cement position on the turntable rather than changing the turntable angle/overlap each pass?
No the answers are still valid for Revo Scan 5, just make sure you have the latest available version and if you never calibrated before your scanner please do it . Scanning the type of cast you are doing requires highest precision.

I was practicing today with a flat pass, angle facing towards 30• and then away 30•. When table is slanted away it spends a lot of time not picking up much at all when front teeth are at its lowest point would you change scanner height or angle for this final pass?
Yes do more overlap to prevent losing the accuracy on the angle , just scan each angle with full one rotation one by one . Do not over scan the same region more than once per scan as it will create too many overlapped points , one full rotation is more than enough !
Important clean each scan , and then again after merging
I usually don’t change the angle if it is not nesesery.
