Choose a 3D scanning method: structured light, laser scanning, photogrammetry, or a 3D scanner app
Clean the product and remove dust, fingerprints, and reflections
Use a matte spray or powder on shiny, transparent, or reflective surfaces
Place the product on a stable surface or turntable
Set up even lighting with minimal shadows and glare
Capture the product from all angles with sufficient overlap between images or scan passes
Keep the camera or scanner at a consistent distance
Include top, bottom, side, and angled views
Avoid motion blur by using a tripod or stable support
Use the scanner software or photogrammetry software to process the captures
Align the images or scan data
Generate the 3D mesh or point cloud
Fill holes and remove noise
Smooth and refine the model if needed
Apply textures or color maps if required
Export the final model in the needed format
Check scale, dimensions, and accuracy against the real product
Repeat the scan if details are missing or distorted
