Reference targets for 3D scans
Print Profile(1)

Description
If you are looking for precision targets to improve the quality of your 3D scans, you are in the right place. I offer a complete range of 3D printable targets, designed to provide maximum stability and adaptability in various contexts: from 3D scanner calibration to precision 3D modeling.
The models include dodecagons of various sizes, target bars, and triangular pyramids, all compatible with standard black and white adhesive markers. If you don't have the markers, you can print them directly using my files (white, black, or bordered versions), and easily apply them with hot glue.
My suggestion, of course, is to print the main structure in black and then print the markers separately in white later.
ATTENTION: before printing many targets, perform a quick test with a single printed target and your 3D scanner. This way, you can verify the correct compatibility and the best configuration between the target's geometry / size and any related adhesive or printed markers.
The targets can be:
- Placed directly on the work surface
- Fixed with glue / hot glue
- Interference fit onto Ø19.2 mm or Ø8 mm pins (depending on the model)
Details of available models
All dimensions are expressed in millimeters (mm).
