I was trying to achieve a clean and complete scan a steel weld. It is a weld between two steel plates that are designed to be at an acute angle to each other.
I have a RevoMini Scanner and have scanned the weld from the front using continuous frames, and moving the scanner gently from left to right and back and slightly up and down, hoping to catch all the weld area. The lighting in the room was good and I did not use any highlight paint. I had the green bars showing indicating I was at the correct distance from the weld for best results.
I have the latest version of the Revo software in use.
The resulting scan seems to have missed at least half of the weld portion of the object on the left hand side. This is the resulting scan in Revo:
I am also unsure what the light grey area actually is. When the scan file is rotated you can see there is a substantial amount of the grey area, even behind the main weld plates, which theoretically the scanner should not be able to see. i.e.
Why did the scanner not see the left-hand portion of the weld?
What is the extraneous white/grey area?
Any thoughts and suggestions welcome.
