Sprays

Frequently Asked Questions

Optical 3D scanners read light bouncing back off a surface. Shiny, dark and transparent surfaces either scatter that light or swallow it, so the scanner returns holes, noise, or nothing usable at all.

A thin matting coat gives the scanner a consistent surface to read. It usually turns a frustrating, repeated scan into a clean one on the first pass.

Vanishing sprays sublimate on their own after a set period and leave no residue, so there is nothing to wash off and nothing to disassemble afterwards. That matters on customer parts, finished goods, and anything you are not permitted to alter.

AESUB White is AESUB’s permanent option and stays put, which is what you want when a session runs long or the coating has to survive handling. Most customers use a vanishing spray by default and keep White for the exceptions.

AESUB Blue is our most popular and most affordable, and it is the sensible default.

AESUB Orange gives a longer working window, roughly 4 to 8 hours of effective scanning time, for sessions that will not finish quickly. AESUB Violet is pigment-free with a longer-lasting coating, designed for precision in sensitive environments. AESUB Transparent mattes glossy surfaces with a transparent film. AESUB Diamond is formulated specifically for the jewelry industry. AESUB Green and AESUB Yellow are liquid formats for spray gun and airbrush application rather than aerosol cans.

When volume or part size makes cans impractical.

AESUB Green is a liquid supplied only in bulk containers (1L, 5L and 200L) and delivered through a spray gun. AESUB Yellow is designed for a bulk airbrush system and suits smaller-scale operations. AESUB Violet is also available as a bulk liquid, optimized for high-volume, large-scale digitizing.

If you coat large assemblies regularly, bulk plus the right applicator gives a more even coat than working through a stack of aerosols.

AESUB’s vanishing sprays are designed to leave no residue on the part, which is the main reason people choose them over talc or traditional developer sprays.

Handling and ventilation requirements vary by product and by your own facility’s rules, so review the safety data sheet for the specific spray before you introduce it. We can send it to you. If you work in a restricted environment, tell us the constraints and we will point you at the right product rather than guessing.

Aerosols are self-contained and fine for most parts. Once you move to bulk liquid, or you are coating large or awkward components, an applicator is the difference between an even coat and a patchy one.

We stock the AESUB Green Spray Gun and the AESUB Yellow Airbrush, each matched to its respective spray, along with the AESUB Frame for holding parts and the AESUB Target Net for applying reference points.
