The AESUB brand of 3D scanning spray provides an optimal coating for challenging surfaces including dark, transparent, and shiny objects, as well as objects with deep pockets. Best known for its revolutionary vanishing 3D scanning sprays, AESUB also has a semi-permanent option that can be wiped off when cleaned.
AESUB 3D scanning sprays are developed for scanning challenging surfaces that would normally be difficult to do with an optical 3D scanner.
Whether your project is big or small, AESUB brand of 3D scanning sprays provides an optimal thin and homogenous coating for 3D scanning objects—with no clumps left behind. What’s great about their sublimation spray is that it disappears into the air with no messy cleanup!
Light goes through the surface. The 3D scanner will not be able to capture the necessary information to generate a 3D image.
For reflective parts (such as a mirror), the surface will create an effect that shatters the light, causing a less-than-ideal scanning situation.
The 3D scanner receives a reflection from the walls of the pocket. It causes a disturbance in the light pattern and can result in artifacts or poor scan data.
Dark or black surfaces absorb light. If you coat a part, the 3D scanning spray creates ideal scanning conditions for a structured-light 3D scanner.

3D scanning spray
The AESUB brand is well-known for its vanishing type of 3D scanning sprays:
The coating evaporates after time lapses without leaving any residue. This eliminates the otherwise time-consuming and tedious task of cleaning after scanning.
In addition, the AESUB vanishing sprays are free of any pigments. There is neither contamination of the measurement environment nor pigment deposits, for example in air filters. The spray can be used directly on the scanner with no cross-contamination–which was previously not possible.
* All AESUB vanishing sprays are pigment free. AESUB White Permanent spray (not a vanishing spray) contains pigments but is FREE of titanium dioxide nano particles (TiO2).
Traditional powder sprays cover but do not really adhere to the object’s surface. As a result, it’s extremely difficult to move or rearrange the object after it has been sprayed. The AESUB vanishing scanning spray sticks to the surface. It enables you to handle the object if needed without damaging the coating to produce high-quality 3D scans.
Reference dots (i.e. photogrammetry dots) ensure you get high accuracy 3D scanning results when aligning scans together. Typically, these points do not adhere well to the surface with traditional powder sprays.
In contrast to powder sprays, reference points can be placed after spraying when using the AESUB vanishing 3D scanning spray.
Please check out AESUB dots and target net that works very well with AESUB 3D scanning spray.
* Only applies to AESUB vanishing spray (not AESUB White)
Your health is very important. That’s why AESUB products are less toxic compared to similar sprays in the market. All AESUB products are FREE of harmful titanium dioxide (TiO2).
“AESUB’s response is a spray that gives your target a consistent, non-reflective white coating, enabling the scanner to grab all the details you need. Coating disappears overnight, leaving no sticky mess to clean up – it’s like magic in a can.”

AESUB has expanded its 3D scanning spray lineup.
3D Scanning Small Objects
AESUB Diamond provides the thinnest layer of white coating for AESUB in an aerosol can. It’s used for scanning small objects. It is a perfect solution for capturing 3D geometry of shiny, clear, or translucent jewelry (ie. rings, necklaces, bracelets). This spray eliminates the need for cleaning after scanning, as it naturally evaporates for a no-mess cleanup.
Inspection-Grade for Small Objects
AESUB Yellow is useful for 3D metrology applications for 3D scanning challenging surfaces of small parts. It only adds a film thickness of approximately 0.5 to 1 microns. Because it’s a vanishing solution, it doesn’t require any cleanup after your 3D scanning project is complete. Simply wait for the white coating to evaporate. No messy cleanup!
Capture Color, Dulling Spray
AESUB transparent is designed for photogrammetry, photography, film, Lidar, and other color-capturing 3D scanning methods. It eliminates reflections without the loss of color information while 3D scanning or photographing an object. There’s no need to clean or wipe off the spray after your scanning is completed.
Long-Lasting, Vanishing Spray
Backed by customer demands, AESUB Orange is a long-lasting, vanishing scanning spray. It’s similar to AESUB Blue except it evaporating within 24 hours instead of a few hours. This spray is our staff’s top picks for 3D scanning accessories! We find the AESUB Orange is one of the best 3D scanning sprays out there for all-purpose use.
With the success of its 3D scanning sprays, AESUB launched 3D scanning markers to get you the best 3D results.
AESUB dots, are circular markers you place on objects to make 3D scanning easier and faster. Placing dots on the scanned object enhances the effectiveness of the 3D scanner in tracking and aligning 3D scans. Additionally, markers improve the accuracy and repeatability of the scan results. AESUB Dots are self-adhesive and adhere to and work well with AESUB 3D scanning sprays.
AESUB Target Net has approximately 300 measurement magnetic targets for scanning medium to large-sized objects. The net unfolds and position the AESUB target net in less than 20 seconds. Scan in the usual manner and use standard post-processing routines to easily remove single elements and points of the AESUB target net in the post-processing. Remove the net in just seconds!
Our team wanted to understand how adding a 3D scanning spray can impact scanning results. While AESUB Blue vanishing spray adds ~8-15 microns of thickness to the part’s surface, it provides a consistent layer that aids the 3D scanner in capturing the true nature of the part. If scanned without spraying the part, the challenging surface would lead to poor scanning results.
Step 1: Use the AESUB 3D scanning spray to apply an even coating onto the scanning part’s surface.
Step 2: Once sprayed, continue as you normally would with your 3D scanning process.
Final 3D scanning results: AESUB spray allows you to capture areas that you normally can’t capture with a 3D scanner without preparation.
When using AESUB Blue, Orange, Green, or Yellow vanishing spray, the coating will disappear depending on temperature and environment. AESUB Transparent produces a clear coating (instead of white) in order to capture the color of the object. If you use the AESUB White permanent spray, you will have to clean up the coating once your 3D scanning job is completed.
In this episode of In The Lab, Art conducts four tests to see which 3D scanning accessory yield the best result. See how improving surface consistency by applying a 3D scanning spray like AESUB Orange produces the best 3D scans.
