The scan interface is the part of the wizard that regulates the acquisition of 3D images. The main toolbar offers specific tools for scanning and the live view of the cameras on the upper right corner allows to check checking the position of the object in the scanning chamber and the amount of light that hits it.

The actions in the scan toolbar may vary depending on the ongoing step. Here below a list of all the possible icons, their application , and reference step:

;{{List button|scanAction.png}} Scan: Starts the acquisition procedure specific for to the ongoing step. This icon is always available.;{{List button|integrateAction.png}} Integrate: Allows to add images to the ones already acquired for the ongoing step. This icon is not available in the articulator scan step and before the scan is actually perfomedperformed. This action will be better explained later in on this page.;{{List button|importAction.png}} Import: Allows to import importing a file for the required image instead of scanning. This icon is always available. ;{{List button|advAction.png}} Advanced parameters: Allows to set a different scanning procedure for the ongoing step. This action will be better explained later in on this page.;{{List button|copyRefAction.png}} Copy from Reference: Allows to copy copying an image previously acquired for the ongoing step. This action is available in the healthy and pontics, and in the Waxup scanning steps. This action is fully automatic, which means the copied image is already shown in the step without having to click on the relevant icon. The user can still decide to scan the object again and then to copy the first reference if the last scan is not satisfactory.

The integration action allows to add adding information to the scan without having to rescan the object with the full procedure. By clicking on the {{Inline button|integrateAction.png}} button, the '''integration panel''' opens.

There are two way ways to carry out an integration. To choose one of the two methods click on the relevant button, to then start the integration click on the Integrate button:

Every object is scanned with a different procedure, to get all the details of the different shapes that can be scanned and avoid to use an unnecessarily elevated number of images for a reference object. For instance, the articulation scan will be performed with only four images on an a horizontal plan plane and reduced speed to avoid loosing losing the balance of the occlusion; on the other hand, the models will be scanned with 6 images on a low tilt, the dies with 12 images on a higher tilt and so on.

These '''profiles''' are Open Technologies' suggestion on how to scan a determined object, but it is not said that they should be always the best procedures, seen that dental objects are seldom similar. Starting from this assumption, the user is always free to decide whether to change the scan profile or not by selecting any other voice in the profile list to increase or reduce the number of images and detail. Of course, the higher the level of detail, the higher the number of images, the heavier the resulting file.

The multi -die definiton definition {{Inline button|mdSetupAction.png}} appears automatically at the beginning of the dies scanning step. The 9 positions of the multi -die will be filled starting from the elements of the first quadrant, if there are any, and follows the standard numbering order. The wizard will show in which position to insert each die. If the dies exceed the number of positions, a further step will be added to the wizard to scan all the elements defined in the project. <br />If the multi -die plate is used, the software will already know which die is in which position, and there will be no need to further identify the items that will be automatically aligned to their reference.

As an alternative to the use of the multi -die plate, the user can set a custom die scan order by clicking on the '''custom setup''' {{Inline button|customSetupAction.png}} button.

The live view of the software, on the upper right corner, allows to check checking the position of the object and the amount of light with which it will be scanned. <br /> For different objects in the same project the light might need to be changed to avoid reflections and improve the scan quality.
