Every other AESUB spray creates a white opaque coating that hides the object's color. AESUB Transparent applies a clear film — matting reflective surfaces while leaving the underlying color completely visible.
Behaves exactly like Blue in terms of sublimation — evaporating completely within approximately 4 hours. No cleanup, no residue, no contamination.
Delivers diffusion without white masking — enabling simultaneous 3D geometry and color capture in a single scan pass.
Hold the can 15–20 cm from the surface. Apply an even coat with smooth back-and-forth strokes. One pass is sufficient — avoid wagging the can.
Begin scanning once the coating is stable and dry to the touch. Reference targets adhere cleanly to the coated surface. Re-spray areas as needed.
The coating sublimates completely — no cleaning required. Parts are reusable with zero residue. Higher temperatures accelerate sublimation.

Traditional sprays force a choice: scan geometry accurately with a white coating, or scan color without coating and struggle with reflective surfaces. AESUB Transparent eliminates this tradeoff. The clear film diffuses reflective surfaces so the scanner can lock on, while the object's actual color remains fully visible to the color cameras.

AESUB Transparent applies a clear film instead of a white opaque coating. All other AESUB sprays produce a white matte surface that hides the object's color. Transparent diffuses without hiding color.
Yes — sublimates completely within ~4 hours at room temperature. Zero residue, same workflow as AESUB Blue.
