Now Available In Our Shop: AESUB Yellow and AESUB Transparent 3D Scanning Spray
Mar 03, 2023
The effectiveness of a 3D scanner can be impacted by the type of surface being scanned, particularly in cases where surfaces are reflective, translucent, dark, or high contrasting colors (dark and light).
Regardless of whether you are using a professional 3D scanner or a low-cost one, optical systems that use light projection and cameras have an inherent problem. They have difficulties “seeing” and digitizing these types of surfaces.
If you have read our latest In the Lab article, you can see our test results reveal that using a 3D scanning spray like AESUB is a reliable and affordable solution in getting past this problem. You can get amazing scan data even when you are scanning challenging materials.
Our test shows that:
- Spraying a part with 3D scanning spray delivers exceptional results compared to not spraying the part.
- It reduces the headache and time of scanning challenging objects.
AESUB is always at the forefront of developing innovative 3D scanning accessories like its line of vanishing 3D scanning sprays. We’re happy to announce there are two new sprays available for sale in our Shop: AESUB Yellow and AESUB Transparent.
AESUB Yellow + AESUB Transparent are vanishing 3D scanning sprays.
- The coating disappears into the air without leaving any residue on the object after a certain period of time.
- They are pigment-free which means they don’t contaminate the measurement environment nor pigment deposits (for example, in air filters).
AESUB Yellow Inspection-Grade 3D Scanning Spray for Small Objects
How does AESUB Yellow differ from the other vanishing 3D scanning sprays?
Spraying a part using a 3D scanning spray adds a certain thickness to the part. If you want your 3D scan results to be highly accurate to the physical part, you want to coat it with the thinnest coating possible. What’s excellent about AESUB Yellow is that it is the ideal solution for metrology applications where you don’t want to add too much thickness. The film thickness is less than 1 micron (0.001 mm) so it’s perfect for 3D scanning small parts.
AESUB Yellow Sublimation Time: Up to 6 hours
Best of all—AESUB Yellow is a disappearing solution so you don’t have to worry about cleaning up the part. No messy cleanup to deal with. Simply wait for the white coating to evaporate.

AESUB Transparent Eliminates Reflection or Glare While Capturing Color
AESUB Transparent is a versatile spray that works well for 3D scanning and photography projects. Most sprays produce a white matte coating. What's special about AESUB Transparent is that it produces clear coating to prevent the 3D scanner or camera from capturing reflections or glare of an object while still capturing its color.
You can see the difference between coating objects with and without AESUB Transparent on different surfaces. The scan quality is much better when the dulling spray is used.
