Topic: Scanning for metal but the part laser hits on becomes blurred

Hello everybody, I tried to use FreeLSS 3D scanners to scan a metal rim but found no red lines exist on the image I got by pressing "Test" button locate in "Camera" page. I'm pretty sure the calibration result and Threshold value in "Setting" page are fine so I assume the reason is FreeLSS software can't determine the red line from red blurred lines. Can any body tell me am I right or is there any other reason causes the problem? Thank you.

Reflective surfaces have to be matted for scanning. You could try powder or they make a spray for this exact purpose as well. Surfaces that are reflective or transparent can't be scanned without making them none reflective/transparent.

unless this is like a real valuable piece  you can spray with gray primer then clean off later.
