Why choose Helling 3D Scan Spray from Laser Design?
- Provides more uniform coverage using less spray material due to proprietary reflective qualities
- Using less spray means this 3D scan spray is more cost effective than other commonly used reflective sprays!
- Because of the fine grained structure of our spray it is possible to apply evenly layers of spray with minimal thickness (average particle size of 2,8 µm).
- The Helling 3D Scan Spray is anti-glare and easily removable
- 3D Scan spray is imported from Germany, and specifically designed for 3D scanning. As the leading spray used in Europe we are excited to be the exclusive North American distributor.
Is 3D Scan Spray Removable?
Yes, this spray is not only the least harmful of all sprays to your parts, it also gives the best coating too.
Small white particles coat the surface, and if the surface is porous like wood then the particles can get embedded.
They don’t fuse or melt to the surface, so elbow grease and a brush can remove the particles.On non-porous surfaces like machined surface metals, the spray wipes cleanly off. Craggy surfaces like cast metal surfaces require more than just a rag to wipe over it, but a couple scrubs back and forth to make sure the cloth brushes through all the crags.
The Helling 3D Scan Spray is the optimal product for accurate laser technology and is available in a 400ml spray can. Order Your 3D Scan Spray today.
Is 3D Scan Spray Good for Use in the Dental Market?
This spray is ideal for dental applications especially for single tooth scanning/measuring for re-building (synthetics, synthetic coated models) and mold/wax figure models. Note: this spray is not safe for use inside a person’s mouth. It is intended to be used only on inanimate objects.
Does this 3D scan spray work with white light 3D scans?
Yes, the 3D spray is suitable for use with all types of 3D scanners including white light systems.
It dulls the surface of any shiny or reflective part.

How does the spray work with scan targets?
Best practice in using 3D Scan Spray with scan targets is to:
– Apply before or after a light coat of spray
– Wipe scan spray off the targets using a cotton swap, tissues, or your fingertip
– For parts that require a heavier coat of spray (like glass), apply the stickers first, then spray, and then wipe off the spray from the stickers.
Can 3DScanSpray be used on polished/coated optical surfaces? Whats is the cleaning process for such surfaces?
Yes, it can be used on polished/coated surfaces. You will need to be careful while cleaning due to low but existent abrasive properties of the product. We’d recommend washing the spray off under water and then using some kind of washing up liquid (if necessary).
Can all particles from the 3DScanSpray be removed from a part?
We are unable to guarantee a complete removal of all particles because it depends on the surface of the part.
However, we have found that the spray is very low in detrimental material and a recent customer performed this Chemical Analysis PDF on a fine surface finish.
How well does this spray work on clear glass?
Our engineers advise that the spray works very well for clear glass. You just need to spray on a thick enough coating.
How does Helling 3D Scan Spray compare to dulling spray?
Dulling spray is designed for photography not for 3D scanning. Our experience is that a large quantity of dulling spray needs to be applied to achieve the desired effect for 3D scanning of shiny objects. The result is a coating that is way too thick / uneven and a process that is way too messy. Key differences are the uniformity of application and the particle size of the spray. The Helling spray is designed for demanding, high-accuracy applications where you want the minimum possible spray thickness applied as uniformly as possible. See below for our boilerplate explanation and thank you for your interest.
What is the Export Classification?
This product was developed for commercial purposes.
What is the drying time of the spray?
Our experience is that the spray dries in about 10 seconds and then you can start scanning. Translucent parts may require 2-3 applications of spray with 10 seconds of drying time in between applications.
What types of parts and colors can be sprayed?
Virtually all color parts and surfaces, including black and clear parts can be sprayed.
Can we prep a part using alcohol wipe? or clean the part to remove the spray coating with alcohol wipe (or perhaps soap and water)?
Yes, you can use for prep and cleaning/removal
What is the thickness of the spray?
the average thickness of the spray is about 2 microns.
What kind of environment should the spray be used in?
We recommending applying the spray with venting of fumes to the outside or with a downdraft table like this one.
If the product is being applied in a large amount over a long period of time, we’d also recommend some respiratory protection.
What is the spray made of?
The exact ingredients used in the Helling spray are a trade secret which cannot be revealed due to competitive reasons. The Helling 3D scan spray contains a harmless form of alcohol that is commonly used for disinfection along with a mineral compound of silicates and carbonates which are used in the cosmetics industry and as food additives. Notwithstanding that the solids used in the spray are generally regarded as harmless, we recommend using some kind of exhaust venting (downdraft table) and/or additional measures for respiratory system protection.
Can the Helling spray be used on electronics such as tablets and smartphones?
The Helling spray has been used successfully on many electronic devices. A little compressed air with an additional wipe of a rag normally off cleans most of the spray without any damage.
Only a minimal amount of spray needs to be used so the risk of damage to the internal electronics is minimized.
How long does a can of spray last?
Assuming proper application of a very light coating, we estimate that a can of spray could last for spraying about 50 smartphones.
Can the Helling 3D spray be used on hot surfaces?
The spray seems to work well up until about 212°F. At increasingly hotter temperatures, the particles begin to coagulate and bounce off the substrate resulting in a speckled pattern of little white dots.
What are the hazardous ingredients (including the propellant) in the Helling 3D scan spray?
Hazardous components are the ones listed in section 3.2 of the MSDS.
Why don’t Sections 3 and 8 align on the English MSDS and why are they different from the Spanish and other MSDS?
The figures in section 8.1 may vary in different MSDS country versions.
These are occupational exposure limits that are subject to national regulations. Country limits may vary, and there may be limits in some countries and not in others. An example is the general dust limit. For example, in Germany this does exist. In other countries, such as Great Britain, it doesn’t. There are dust limits only for specific powders/substances. Section 8.1 of the MSDS therefore generally refers to the national regulation from which the limit listed there comes from. In Germany, for example, this would be a standard called TRGS 900. In the UK it’s called regulation Eh50. And in Spain Royal Decree 374/2001 transposing Directive 98/24 / EC.
Additional information on differences between the English and Spanish MSDS.
The English and Spanish versions of the MSDS may contain different information due to the different national regulations that apply. There are content differences that may not have anything to do with per se, but rather national regulations.
For USA:
Legal basis for the information in the safety data sheet = 29 CFR Part 1910.1200
This is a regulation that applies within the USA, which also regulates the contents and mandatory information in a safety data sheet.
The US regulation does not provide for a Spanish version. The safety data sheet has to be issued in English.
For Spain:
The Spanish safety data sheet, on the other hand, is based on a European regulation = Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006
This is the REACH regulation, which also regulates the contents of the safety data sheet within the EU.
The classification information is shown in Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 (CLP Regulation). This is also a European regulation.

Why Choose Aesub 3D Scanning Spray?
The AESUB brand is well-known for its vanishing type of 3D scanning sprays:
- AESUB Blue
- AESUB Orange
- AESUB Green
They have an advantage when compared with traditional 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. They don’t contaminate the measurement environment nor pigment deposits, for example in air filters. This means that the spray can be used directly on the scanner with no cross-contamination–which was previously not possible.
Traditional powder spays cover but do not really adhere to the object’s surface to be scanned very well. As a result, it’s extremely difficult to move or rearrange the object after it has been sprayed. The AESUB vanishing scanning spray adheres to the surface. This enables you to handle the object if needed without damaging the coating to produce high quality 3D scans.
Reference points (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. You would have to place them before spraying. Once placed directly on the object to be scanned, it can be tedious to remove them and they often leave adhesive residues.
In contrast to powder sprays, reference points can be placed after spraying when using the AESUB vanishing 3D scanning spray. This eliminates the need for cleaning the points before scanning and allows for easy removal after scanning without such adhesive residues.
Your health is very important. That’s why AESUB products are less toxic compared to similar sprays in the market. All our AESUB products are free of harmful titanium dioxide. AESUB Blue, Orange, and Green are free of pigments, while AESUB White is pigment-based but is FREE of titanium dioxide nano particles (TiO2). Titanium dioxide has received its carcinogenicity classification from the EU CLP.

How it Works:
3D Scanning a Reflective Part
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 the AESUB Blue, Orange, or Green vanishing spray, the coating will disappear within a few hours depending on temperature and environment.
If you use the AESUB White permanent spray, you will have to clean up the coating once your 3D scanning job is completed.
AESUB Blue Vanishing Spray
Video Demo and Analysis
Our team wanted to better understand how adding a 3D scanning spray can impact scanning results which is outlined in the following video. 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, without the distortion caused by the challenging surface that would cause bad scanning results.

Nabakem MegaCheck 3d Scan Matting Spray
- Description
- Reviews (0)
Nabakem Matting Spray is used as a 3D scanning consumable for glossy and transparent materials. The fine coating guarantees an optimal anti-reflection coating with precise observance of the geometry of the object to be scanned. Nabakem sprays give a guaranteed particle size of no more than 5 microns, which allows you to apply an anti-reflective coating that is optimal in thickness with precise observance of the geometry of the object to be scanned. To obtain reliable and reproducible results, careful preparation of the entire surface of the scanned object is necessary, without dividing into convenient and difficult areas.
The cost of our matting sprays will allow you not to think about the choice of "hot" zones, but simply treat all 100% of the object, regardless of its size. Optimum 450 ml can can treat up to 5 square meters of surface.
The quality of Nabakem spray allows it to be used in various industries:
- 3D model making in museums and restoration workshops;
- Reengineering;
- Car tuning;
- In dental CAD/CAM systems;
- In industrial x-ray control - to suppress glare on x-rays;
- In thermal control - as an alternative to self-adhesive film used to measure the temperature of a polished surface with pyrometers and thermal imagers.
How to use Nabakem matting spray
- The recommended surface temperature to be controlled is 10℃~40℃.
- Shake the can before use for 2-3 minutes to re-suspend the white particles. With sufficient agitation, the sound of the agitating balls will be clearly audible.
- Apply the developer evenly on the surface to be inspected from a distance of 20 ~ 30 cm from it.
- After drying, a white matte film forms on the surface.
- The object must be cleaned after scanning. The Mega Check Cleaner is recommended for this.
Tips for using spray cans
- To make the sprayed layer even and smooth, start spraying on the area adjacent to the test.
- Spray across the surface to be examined at a constant slow speed, remembering that 2 or 3 thin coats are better than one thick coat.
- Use between 5°C and 50°C.
Cold weather complicates the application process, slows down the drying rate and reduces pressure in the spray bottle. To eliminate these difficulties, we advise you to take the following steps:
-
If there is condensation, wipe the surface to be treated dry and, if possible, heat the surface with some kind of heating device.
Heating by hot air with a temperature not higher than 50 °C is allowed. -
Spray the spray from a greater distance than usual so that it hits the surface dry rather than wet.
- Keep aerosol cans warm if possible.
- Extend the holding time of the processed object before further work by 2-5 minutes.
