When scanning an object in 3D, it is important to determine if the hardware you are using is best suited for the size of the object you are scanning. Lenses in particular will influence the 3D scanner's field of view. This short article discusses how lenses with different focal lengths (mm) and other factors can affect the 3D scanner's field of view.
