Lannix Design has recently purchased a 3D scanner which we hope will become a useful tool to complement our existing CAD and 3D printing services. We’ve been working out how to best optimize lighting conditions when scanning to obtain accurate results. So far it seems that dark and featureless surfaces are not ideal! Using brightly
