Hi guys, i’m Giuseppe. I’m a shoes designer & developer. I’ve bought POP 2 one month ago with the main aim of scanning shoe’s last. I’ve already done a few test but the scanner keeping lose the original track. The main problems comes out when i have to put on its side the last and scanner the “sole”, everytime the scan lose the track. Sometimes i get many problems while im scanning the toe. Can u give me an advice or link me up to a video? I’m worried, i ordered the POP 2 with the aim of using it for improve my working flow but for now i’m not very satysfied. There’s a photo below of a shoes last to better understand the complex shape ![IMG_7023](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex029/uploads/revopoint3d/original/2X/2/26f6513ee547523f2ba3bfb265555f3e5fb01c6b.jpeg) ---

You need to scan this in at least 2 scans, maybe 3 and do a merge. Also you need to use either crumpled paper to add scan features to the shapes or use markers in marker mode on a turntable for example, one foot at a time > [@Crumpled paper - The cheapest method for feature scanning mode](https://forum.revopoint3d.com/t/crumpled-paper-the-cheapest-method-for-feature-scanning-mode/20697/1): > > For future reference here is a cheap, easy and clean way to add enough features for a great scan alignment. Another solution one can use is crumpled fabrics, specially when scanning car features with the range Scan made with the mini, fuse 0.2 mm and mesh quality 6, no post processing, not only the resulting mesh is clean and smooth but one can clearly see the tape thickness used to keep the broken part together Other similar and usefull techniques are listed in these video… > [@Manual turntable - How I place markers in unique shapes](https://forum.revopoint3d.com/t/manual-turntable-how-i-place-markers-in-unique-shapes/20469): > > As per @ivan request here is the pattern and the method i used to place the markers in my manual clay turntable Mine is one similar to these [5 Size Pottery Banding Wheel Manual Forming Sculpting Turntable Ceramic Clay Art | eBay](https://ebay.us/B1fQuK) but with a custom metal stand and long axis I started with a spiral and conter spiral of 1 (ones) Then i go spinning around starting with a pattern of 1, 2, 3, then 1|1, 1|2, 1|3 , 1|4 … and then I adapt as i go trying to keep the clusters as a clear and un… ---

I’ve tried with crambled paper and even with the marker i have the same problem. Once the shoes its flipping from side to side, on the turtable, the scan loose the track. I even tryed with the handly scan but with the same results I know I have to do at least one scan on each side and then scan the sole but despite this I often lose track. out of 8 different lasts that I tried to scan I succeeded with 2 and took a long time. I’ve applied about 35 marker on the last and sometimes revoscan suggest me to apply more tracker and for me it’s exaggerated. Hope to resolve it soon because i’m getting worried ☹ I’m opened to every suggestion. The shapes tend to occupy a space of approximately 30 cm on its lenght and 10 on its wide. Thx guys ---

You are trying to do the scan all at once. Don’t - Scan one side. Save - Flip the model - Start a new scan, Scan the other side - Cleanup each pointcloud - Merge 2 or more pointclouds Like i do in this video, this is a 2 part scan made with markers over my diy marker turntable as posted on one of the last links [![](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex029/uploads/revopoint3d/original/2X/d/d1fd9b160b320bfa6331f1fd9f35241832e1ec2f.jpeg "Revopoint INSPIRE - From scan to cad reference under 10min") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6f3ldWIzJUM) > [@X3msnake - INSPIRE 3D Scanner Showcase](https://forum.revopoint3d.com/t/x3msnake-inspire-3d-scanner-showcase/21579/45): > > The Fugly An We received a fugly wreck of part to build a replacement for a client, here is a quick overview of the scan part (using INSPIRE) for our rebuild process (uncut video) Scan to reference (under 10 minutes) [[Revopoint INSPIRE - From scan to cad reference under 10min] ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6f3ldWIzJUM)Scan depth map frames - Revoscan Flayer extracts [[Revoscan Flayer Depthmap preview] ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3U0yg7b32rU)[[Revoscan Flayer - Depth map video] ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_llYe0wK0wM)The reference model Reversing the part …
