## What is Sakura3D SCAN?

Scanning and exporting data utilizing Sakura3D SCAN can come in handy for various fields.
For example, plants can acquire the current status of pipes and other factory equipment, while construction and civil engineering firms can utilize Sakura3D SCAN in topographical surveys and construction progress management. 
  
Import your scanned data into our point cloud modeling software "ClassNK-PEERLESS" and create 3D models that can be imported into various CAD systems.

■ Difference between a free plan and subscriptions
All features are available for free, except for file output and certain premium features (e.g., Center of Gravity Visualization).
By subscribing, you can enjoy unlimited file exports and gain full access to all premium features.

File export is also free under following conditions.
・Point cloud: less than 500K points
・Mesh: less than 50K vertices
・Unlimited export: Once every 24h

With a subscription, there is no limit to the number of scans you can export.
  
■ FAQ
・ How can I increase the quality of my scans?
When measuring please try to move slowly and avoid shaking the device.
Please try to avoid measuring the same location twice. The trick is not to scan the same point over and over again.
The following are some of the factors that can hinder a good scan:
- When the object is a transparent object made of glass, a shiny metal object, a mirror, etc.
- When the distance to the object to be scanned is too short (within 10 to 20 cm)
  
・I don't know which scan accuracy to use.
Scan accuracy depends on the scan target, scan environment, and setting method. 
For a personalized inquiry please send an email to sakura3d@armonicos.co.jp  with your target, environment and setting method.
  
・What distance allows for an accurate measurement?
The recommended distance is within 5m.
  
・How many points can be obtained in each scan?
You can get up to 25 million points.
  
・Is it possible to check the number of points during a scan?
The number of acquired points is displayed on the screen, during a scan, with the following color encoding as a guideline for memory usage:  "green (low)-> yellow (medium)-> red (high)" .
  
・I don't know how to export data.
There are two methods, one is via the Internet using Dropbox, AirDrop, email, various SNS, or Google Drive, and the other is to connect the 
device (iPhone, iPad) directly to the PC with a cable and copy the data using iTunes.
  
・Can the output data be imported into other software?
Data created with Sakura3D SCAN can be imported into  any software that supports point cloud formats (ASC, TXT,PTS) or mesh formats (STL, OBJ).
It can also be  imported into our software packages:  spGate, spGauge, spScan, and ClassNK-PEERLESS.

### 4/5 — 使いやすいです

*2022-10-30, version 2.13.0*

無料でここまで使いやすいのは貴重だと思います。
iPadが大きく、支えるのが精一杯でスキャン開始時の赤いボタンが押しづらく、カメラ同様ボリュームボタンで撮影開始できたら更に良いです。

### 4/5 — とても使いやすく、点群が取れる

*2021-02-27, version 2.7.4*

操作がわかりやすく、ちゃんと点としてとってくれます。
ファイルも送れるため、点群の処理もしやすいです。
ただ、ファイルが日時で決められてしまい、どれがどのファイルかわからなくなるので、名前を変更する機能が欲しいです。

### 2/5 — 落ちる

*2021-01-22, version 2.5.0*

データ量が多いと落ちて保存ができない。
折角スキャンしたのに台無しである。
週間課金をしたがやめ方がわからない。アンインストールしなければならないのか？

### 3/5 — 日本語ソフトなので今後に期待してます

*2021-01-20, version 2.5.0*

点群について
・反射強度が出力されない
・出力時にPTSやLAS、E57やZIP圧縮有無が選べると良い
・スキャン開始時点で対象物から奥の方にエッジノイズが出る
（生データも欲しいが、ノイズのない点群も欲しい）

メッシュについて
・平たいところが自動で大きなメッシュになるのは便利
・メッシュのピッチの影響で対象物のカドがズレる
・出力時にGLBも欲しい

### 1/5 — 出力できない

*2020-11-19, version 2.0.2*

せっかくスキャンしたデータが書き込めない。スキャンの出来は良いので残念。
