Setup your SNAP by Fit3D Scanning Room

Create a private, well-lit space that allows participants to complete a clear 360-degree scan.

A properly prepared scan room helps SNAP capture the participant’s visible body shape consistently.

1. Mount the Tablet Vertically

Mount the tablet in portrait orientation with the center of the screen 39 to 41 inches from the floor.

Use a stable wall mount or floor stand that will not move during scanning.

2. Provide Enough Scanning Distance

Leave 4 to 7 feet of clear space between the tablet and the participant.

Taller participants may need to stand farther from the tablet so their full body remains visible on the screen.

3. Create a Clear Rotation Area

Provide enough open space for the participant to complete a comfortable 360-degree rotation without stepping around furniture or other obstacles.

A floor marker can help participants return to the same scanning position.

4. Use Bright, Consistent Lighting

Use bright overhead lighting that illuminates the participant evenly.

Normal office lighting is usually acceptable.

Avoid:

• Strong light directly behind the participant
• Dark shadows across the body
• Lighting that changes during the scan

5. Keep the Background Clear

Remove anything that may interfere with the participant’s visible body outline, including:

• Mirrors
• Reflective objects
• Furniture near the scanning area
• Hanging clothing
• Exercise equipment
• Visual clutter

The area behind the participant should remain as simple and consistent as possible.

6. Protect Participant Privacy

Provide a private area where participants can change into form-fitting clothing and complete the scan comfortably.

Staff may assist with the participant’s first scan, but the room should allow participants to scan privately once they understand the process.
