Combining Foot and Imprint Scans

There are two methods to import foot and imprint scans into the software:

Method 1: iPhone and iPad App

1. Open the app and select the "Foot + Imprint" scanning mode.
2. Scan the foot inside the foambox.
3. Perform a second scan to capture the imprint in the foambox.
4. Upload the scans to the Cloud
5. In the CAD system, use the Cloud Import button to download all scans.

Method 2: Software Import

1. Open the software and click "Import 3D" in a project.
2. Use the Foot + Imprint mode to select two files per side.

File Selection

Ensure you select the correct files for each foot and its corresponding imprint.

Merging Scans

1. In the project view, locate the "Merge 2 scans" row.
2. Click on the "Merge 2 scans" row.
3. Click "Merge" on the side you want to start with.

Scan Preparation

The "Merge 2 scans" row appears because the files are not yet combined into a single 3D scan. This step is crucial for creating an accurate model.

Foot Scan Alignment

1. In the CAD system, you'll see the foot scan first.
2. Click multiple times on the foambox to align the scan.
3. Use at least 3 markers for accurate alignment.
4. Use the Enter key on the keyboard to continue.

Imprint Scan Alignment

1. For the second scan (imprint), select the foambox area.
2. Add at least 3 markers to the foambox.
3. Press the "Enter" key to continue.
4. Use the Enter key on the keyboard to continue.

Fine-tuning Alignment

1. The software will automatically align the two parts.
2. You can manually move or rotate parts for better alignment.
3. Click on a part and use the action buttons to remove unnecessary sections using the Clip button (e.g., excess leg area).

Settings

There are two options on the right in the settings:

1. Adjust how much to remove from the scan part.
2. Less removal: More foambox visible.
3. More removal: More of the original scan removed.

Finding the Right Balance

Experiment with these settings to achieve the optimal balance between foambox visibility and scan detail.

Exporting the Combined Scan

1. Navigate to the Export tab.
2. Review the combined scan.
3. If satisfied with the result, click "Save". If not satisfied move back to the previous tab.

Project Update

After processing both sides, a new "3D scan" item will be added to the project.

Post-Processing

If needed, you can further refine the scan using the Repair function, which is explained in a separate section of the documentation.
