Do you want to scan an object that is difficult to capture due to its reflective or mirroring surface? Do you need color information in addition to geometric properties? Then the AESUB transparent scanning spray is an excellent solution. Thanks to AESUB transparent, you can use an optical scanner to capture the color values of the scan object in addition to the surface contours.
When using the AESUB scanning spray, you apply a thin, homogenous coating to the object to be scanned to create excellent contrasts for 3D scanning. Thus, a 3D scanner can completely and highly accurately capture the scan object.
The transparent, dry to the touch coating of the AESUB transparent scanning spray evaporates automatically after scanning, making time-consuming cleaning of the scanned object unnecessary. Laboratories, sensors, environments, scanners and users are not contaminated by pigments. By using this sublimating spray, you will maximize efficiency and productivity in the scanning process.
AESUB transparent contains active substances, propellant, solvent and has been optimized with regards to material compatibility. The spray sublimates completely without leaving any residues on the surface of the scanned object.
Designated use
- Enables/facilitates optical digitalization of objects that are difficult to capture (e. g. transparent, shiny or reflective parts)
- For scanning jobs where you need a dry to the touch coating that evaporates automatically after the scanning process. The normally time-consuming cleaning after application is no longer necessary. Components can be reused with no residues.
- Smooth spraying of the scan object with even back and forth movements from a distance of 15 - 20cm

Notes
- AESUB transparent is applied "wet". The solvent vanishes within a few seconds while the active substance remains as coating on the surface. After complete drying of AESUB transparent, the object can be scanned as usual.
- The ideal ambient temperature is 21°C/66.2°F.
- AESUB scanning sprays are optimized for material compatibility; however material compatibility for specific applications cannot be guaranteed. Users should check specific material compatibility before use. AESUB transparent contains solvents.
- The sublimation time of AESUB transparent is indicated as less than 4 h and depends on the following five factors:
- Temperature (high ambient temperatures -> shorter sublimation time, low ambient temperature -> longer sublimation time)
- Airflow (ventilation shortens sublimation time)
- Surface structure (even surface structures -> shorter sublimation time, uneven surfaces -> longer sublimation time)
- Material (plastics -> shorter sublimation time, metals -> longer sublimation time)
- Layer thickness (the higher the layer thickness, the longer the sublimation time)
- Empirical tests show that objects treated with AESUB transparent remain scannable for approximately 1 hour. Scan-time can be easily extended by re-applying AESUB transparent at individual contours when sublimation commences and by spraying several layers. Increase temperature and / or air ventilation in case you want to accelerate the sublimation process.
- AESUB transparent is residue-free. The manufacturer points out that the complete sublimation of AESUB transparent cannot be guaranteed on every surface/material.
- Do not spray on an open flame or other ignition. Use ventilated areas. Do not use AESUB transparent on products intended for contact with food.
