Accurate 3D Scanning Without Distracting Reflections

AESUB Transparent 400 ml is a special matting spray designed for the optical digitization of glossy, reflective, and transparent objects. It creates a thin and even transparent to semi-transparent mattifying layer on the surface, which suppresses unwanted light reflections and improves the surface's scanability.

Unlike standard opaque scanning sprays, it helps preserve the object's visible color information. It is therefore suitable for color 3D scanning, photogrammetry, LiDAR, photography, and other optical methods where not only geometry but also the surface texture or color is important.

Self-Evaporating Layer Without Subsequent Cleaning

The applied coating provides approximately 1–2 hours of effective scanning time. It then gradually sublimates and evaporates under normal conditions in approximately 4 hours. This eliminates the need to extensively wash or mechanically clean the object after completing the work.

The spray is free of pigments and titanium dioxide, reducing the risk of contaminating scanners, sensors, laboratories, and the working environment with pigment dust. The coating is homogeneous after drying, and reference points can be placed on it for 3D scanning.

Main Benefits

• suppresses reflections on glossy and reflective surfaces,
• facilitates the scanning of transparent objects,
• preserves the recognizability of colors and textures,
• creates a thin layer approximately 15–20 µm thick,
• evaporates on its own without the need for subsequent cleaning,
• contains no pigments or titanium dioxide,
• suitable for 3D scanning, photogrammetry, LiDAR, and photography,
• allows reference points to be attached to the applied layer.

Recommended Application Method

1. Before application, verify the spray's compatibility on a small and less visible part of the material.
2. Apply the spray in even strokes from a distance of approximately 15–20 cm.
3. Cover the entire area you want to scan with a thin and continuous layer.
4. Once a stable matt coating has formed, you can begin scanning.
5. After completion, allow the layer to sublimate on its own.

The optimal application temperature is approximately 21 °C. The actual evaporation time depends on the temperature, air circulation, material, surface structure, and thickness of the applied layer.

Applications

AESUB Transparent is ideal for reverse engineering, dimensional inspection, digital archiving, product development, surface inspection, and the creation of color 3D models. It can be used in the automotive, mechanical engineering, aerospace, energy, and creative industries.

Warning: The aerosol contains solvents and is flammable. Compatibility with a specific material cannot be generally guaranteed, so always perform a test on an inconspicuous area first. Use only in a well-ventilated area and follow the safety instructions on the packaging.
