Hi all! I am just trying out my new Metro Y Ultra. I am comparing it to my Artec Spider and had some questions. I really know how to sue the Spider, but the Metro Y Ultra is somewhat new to me. I scanned this nozzle (covered with scanning spray) with both scanners and meshed with the highest settings possible but I get FAR better results with the Spider than the MYU. This was scanned with Crossed lines and parallel lines, no real difference in quality. Each thread is about 2mm in diameter (at the base). Any ideas if this is the limit of what the MYU can do?

The Spider shows that the threads have a flat top-side while the MYU shows a round profile on the threads. In real life, the threads do indeed have a flat top, but cranking up the settings to max on everything does get closer.
I also have an Artec EVA, though not with me right now to provide testing. Even with Ai-enabled HD mode, I doubt the EVA would be able to resolve those threads. While the MYU is not “as” good as the Spider it seems acceptable as a replacement for the two Artec scanners as it can resolve more small detail than the EVA, can resolve larger objects like the EVA, and get “close enough” to be passably good at small features, which is where the Spider shines.
It looks like the Metro/Revoscan is smoothing the scan data and taking away some of the fine detail that Artec is not. I am not familiar with Artec scanners or software but to verify, you might try turning on basic/minimal smoothing in the Artec software to see if it matches the Metro/Revo scan data. From my experience with RevoScan and MetroX/Trackit, there is always some base smoothing done by default.
