New Mesh Optimization Function for EinScan HX

With the latest  EinScan HX v1.2.0.2 software update, a new mesh editing function has been added.

Unlike other post-process function which only do a single operation, the new “Mesh Optimization” feature in EinScan HX software allows you to do both smooth and sharpen concurrently which will eliminate surface noise while keeping sharp details. You can choose the optimization intensity from 0 to 100%. You  can do multiple iterations if not satisfied with current outcomes.

This function performs well when the original data has a small point distance. For example, here’s a part of the tires scanned with 0.2mm resolution.

From left to right are original data / 20% / 50%/ 100% optimization.

You can see that surface noise was well removed under 100% optimization, but the edges of the letters are still sharp.

However, on a large point distance model, the details are already blurred. Using high optimization intensity will cause detail loss. Here is an example.

---

Same intensity from left to right while the resolution is 1mm. You can tell that the details on feathers are hard to tell with 100% optimization.

All in all, we suggest using high intensity optimization (100%) for high resolution and low intensity optimization (20%) for low resolution. Play around with this feature to fine tune the generate the desired outcome. And if the resolution is beyond 1mm, we do not recommend applying mesh optimization.

Hope this function can help you get a good scan result easier!
