Frequently Asked Questions

General

✓ What 3D laser scanner brands are compatible with these spheres? ▾

These carbon-fiber spheres are designed for universal compatibility with major 3D laser scanner brands including Leica, Faro, Trimble, Riegl, and other industry-standard scanning systems. The chrome-plated adapters ensure secure mounting across different tripod and mounting configurations.

✓ How does the anti-reflective coating improve scanning accuracy? ▾

The specialized anti-reflective coating minimizes laser beam scatter and eliminates unwanted reflections that can cause measurement errors. This coating ensures consistent, high-quality point cloud data capture and improves the precision of reference point detection during multi-station scanning workflows.

✓ What are the advantages of carbon-fiber construction over traditional materials? ▾

Carbon-fiber construction provides superior dimensional stability across temperature variations, exceptional durability, and significantly reduced weight compared to metal alternatives. The material's thermal coefficient ensures reference points maintain precise positioning during extended scanning sessions in varying environmental conditions.

✓ How many scanning stations can be effectively referenced with a 6-piece kit? ▾

A 6-piece sphere kit typically supports 3-4 scanning stations in medium to large-scale projects, with each station requiring 2-3 reference spheres for optimal registration accuracy. The quantity allows for redundant reference points and enables complex multi-station scanning workflows with overlapping coverage areas.

✓ What is the recommended storage and maintenance procedure for these spheres? ▾

Store spheres in a protective case away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Clean the anti-reflective surface using lint-free cloths and isopropyl alcohol. Inspect chrome-plated adapters regularly for wear and ensure threading remains clean. Avoid dropping or impact damage as this may compromise spherical geometry and scanning accuracy.
