Can a 3D scanner scan anything?

Can a 3D scanner really capture anything? While these devices feel like magic, they do have limits. Glass, chrome, and featureless surfaces can confuse your scanner, leading to missing data or "holes" in your model. However, by using a few pro tricks—like scanning spray for shiny surfaces and adhesive markers for geometry—you can overcome almost any obstacle. Understanding these limitations is the first step toward getting perfect scans every time.
