I have a dental splint made of transparent plastic. The inside is shaped precisely so it matches the morphology of teeth. To make a scan I need to turn it upside down so both the top and bottom contours are captured. So far, all my efforts failed. Not only the scans are poor (even after spraying it white) but merging 2 views does not merge well.
Mastering this scan could save people lot of money as dentists charge exorbitant fees to make these splints. Could anyone help, please?
can you attach the picture of the item
Is it possible to scan both side with this position, or hv to scan each side individual and merge?
I did make 2 scans in this position and merged. Not very precise merge. Prior to that I used a white spray (AESUB). It scanned but the paint did not stick well and it left uneven residue. Seems paint does not stick to the plastic well and changes the morphology.
You need to scan only the inside and add the proper thickness of it later with your 3D editor software , the thickness of that volume is too small , it gonna be difficult to scan on both sides , you should scan the teeth cast and build the splint on it using computer

Another thing you can do is cast the inside of it scan after and build on top your splint thickness, so many ways and so much easier

can marker mode help with that?
If the surface is proper prepared then yes … but for that the best would be 3D transparent scanning spray or 3 microns 3D scanning liquid at 3 microns to avoid adding extra dimension.
