AESUB Violet – Self-Evaporating 3D Scanning Spray – 400 ml

AESUB Violet is a self-volatilising scanning spray engineered for professional 3D metrology, structured-light scanning, and photogrammetry workflows. The 400 ml pressurised aerosol deposits a thin, colourless, homogeneous matt coating that is completely pigment-free and TiO₂-free, eliminating both post-scan cleanup and the risk of instrument contamination — the coating disappears on its own after scanning.

Volume 400 ml
Pigment Content Pigment-free (TiO₂-free)
Self-Volatilisation Yes — no post-scan cleaning required
Application Distance 15–20 cm

The image below shows the AESUB Violet 400 ml aerosol can — the distinctive violet cap and the "FREE OF TiO₂" badge confirm the pigment-free formulation that sets it apart from conventional matt sprays used in 3D scanning workflows.

Zero-Residue Formula: Why TiO₂-Free Matters in Precision Metrology

Conventional scanning sprays rely on titanium dioxide (TiO₂) as the active whitening agent. TiO₂ is a stable inorganic pigment — it does not evaporate, which means every surface treated must be cleaned before returning to service. In laboratory and production environments, that cleanup step is a measurable bottleneck: it consumes technician time, introduces touch-up handling risk, and can leave microscopic pigment deposits on sensitive optical or precision-machined surfaces.

AESUB Violet eliminates TiO₂ entirely. Its volatile organic formulation — propane, isopropanol, and pentane — deposits a matt layer that is optically effective during the scan and then self-evaporates completely at ambient temperature. The scanned object leaves the measurement station in exactly the condition it arrived. For cleanroom-adjacent environments, quality labs, and high-value components, this is not a convenience feature — it is a process requirement.

Thin, Homogeneous Coat — Measurement Accuracy Preserved

Coating uniformity directly affects surface reconstruction quality. An uneven spray application introduces false height variation into the point cloud, degrading dimensional accuracy at the sub-millimetre level. AESUB Violet's formulation is engineered to produce a consistently thin layer across complex geometries, preserving the true surface geometry that the scanner captures. The result: cleaner mesh data, fewer post-processing correction passes, and higher-confidence dimensional reports.

Expert Verdict: AESUB Violet addresses the single most disruptive aspect of scanning spray workflows: cleanup. Technicians who switch from TiO₂-based sprays consistently report a 15–20 % reduction in part cycle time, simply because post-scan decontamination is removed from the process. The TiO₂-free formulation is also the right choice wherever the scanned object is a sensitive assembly — medical devices, watch components, aerospace brackets — where pigment residue in blind holes or threaded features is unacceptable. One practical note: store the can upright, below 50 °C, and away from direct sunlight. Propane propellant is pressure-sensitive; a warm storage environment degrades spray consistency before the coating material is exhausted.

The diagram below illustrates the correct application geometry: hold the can at 15–20 cm from the target surface and move it in smooth, even sweeping passes. Maintaining this distance produces a homogeneous matte layer without pooling or dry-spray patchiness.

How to Apply AESUB Violet

Three-step application procedure for AESUB Violet vanishing scanning spray — from surface preparation to post-scan.

Step 1: Spray the Surface

Hold the can at 15–20 cm from the object surface. Activate the spray head and move the can in slow, even passes, keeping the nozzle aimed directly at the target. Avoid rocking or "wagging" the can — consistent distance and travel speed are the keys to a uniform, thin coat. Ensure full coverage of all surfaces that will be captured in the scan.

Step 2: Allow to Dry and Scan

Wait for the AESUB Violet coating to dry completely before beginning the scan. Once dry, proceed with the 3D scan as normal — the coating is fully scannable with structured-light, laser-line, and photogrammetry systems. No special scanner settings are required.

Step 3: Done — No Cleaning Required

After scanning, the AESUB Violet layer evaporates independently. No manual removal, solvent wipe-down, or rinsing is needed. The object surface and the measurement environment remain free from pigment residue.

What's in the Box

  • AESUB Violet vanishing scanning spray — 1 × 400 ml pressurised aerosol can

Does AESUB Violet really disappear completely after scanning?

Yes. AESUB Violet is a self-volatilising spray: the coating evaporates independently at ambient temperature after scanning is complete. Unlike TiO₂-based products, no manual wiping, solvent cleaning, or rinsing is required. The surface is left residue-free.

Is AESUB Violet compatible with all types of 3D scanners?

AESUB Violet is designed to work with structured-light scanners, laser-line scanners, and photogrammetry setups. The thin, homogeneous coating provides the matt, non-reflective surface these systems require for accurate data capture. No special scanner configuration is needed.

Why is a TiO₂-free formula important for laboratory use?

Titanium dioxide is a stable inorganic pigment that does not evaporate. Sprays containing TiO₂ leave permanent residue on scanned objects and can deposit fine particles on scanner optics, requiring careful cleaning after every session. AESUB Violet's TiO₂-free formulation eliminates these contamination risks, making it the correct choice for sensitive laboratory and production environments.

What is the correct spray distance for AESUB Violet?

Apply AESUB Violet from a distance of 15–20 cm, using smooth, even sweeping passes with the nozzle aimed at the object. Spraying closer than 15 cm risks pooling and an uneven coat; spraying further than 20 cm produces a dry, patchy layer. Consistent distance is the primary factor in coating quality.
