U225X PUBLIC RECORD / CAD-019
TITLE: Creality Pika scanner purchase and workflow
STATUS: Starting Point
CATEGORY: CAD / Scanning / Automation
TYPE: how-to

The scanner workflow prioritizes a usable shape, portable setup, top/bottom alignment, and practical shop conditions. Accuracy claims remain tied to the scanner, surface, lighting, and validation method actually used.

GOAL: Capture enough trustworthy geometry to support a remodel or inspection decision.

EQUIPMENT
- Scanner / mesh workflow
- Representative test model
- Measurement or inspection method




STEPS
- Plan overlap and reference markers.
- Control lighting and reflective surfaces.
- Capture top and bottom with shared references.
- Clean the mesh and recover scale.
- Compare the remodel against the scan.


TROUBLESHOOTING
- A visually correct model can still have bad units, references, or manufacturing intent.
- Keep source files and exported files distinct.
- When automation is involved, test a copy before changing a production directory.



RESULT
Starting Point; hardware-specific validation remains open.

SOURCE NOTE
This is a public-safe summary assembled from the local content manifest and recovered notes. It is not a raw conversation transcript. Measurements, files, and outcomes remain marked as provisional where the source did not preserve enough evidence.
