The small 100mm diameter reference spheres help you register and align scans of small areas or combine different scanner types. By using the spheres, merging scans from terrestrial and handheld 3D scanners is achieved smoothly.
Thanks to the small case, the spheres take up little space and are easy to transport.

Please note
- The reference sphere is the perfect measurement sphere for scanning under normal conditions. Only at very low or very high temperatures, there is a slight deviation in the diameter of the sphere. We recommend using and storing these spheres only in the range from 0 to +50 degree. If the spheres are used at extremely cold ambient temperatures (< -5 degree), a damage of the painted surface might arise.
- Due to the low magnetic field strength of the magnets, they are not classified as dangerous goods in air freight if properly packaged.
Safety instructions
- Wearers of pacemakers should be particularly careful when handling magnets or magnetic systems. A minimum distance of 20cm from the magnet must be maintained, otherwise temporary malfunctions of the pacemaker may occur.
- The use of magnets or magnet systems in explosion-proof rooms is critical. If the magnets are dropped, they may shatter and cause sparks.
- Do not store or bring into the proximity of magnetic storage media.
- Magnets can attract iron parts. Improper handling can result in crushing.
- Properly dispose of in accordance with Directives 91/689/EEC and 94/62EU, as well as local, regional and national regulations.
- If the nickel layer comes into contact with the skin, hypersensitivity may result in allergic reactions. (Depending on type)
