Why AESUBdots Retro Permanent
Are the Standard for Laser Scanning
The retro-reflective surface bounces laser light directly back at the scanner head, giving the algorithm a high-contrast reference point even on dark, shiny, or angled surfaces. Critical for FARO, Leica, Creaform, and other laser-based scanning workflows.
A single roll covers a large industrial part or several smaller scans. The continuous coiled format lets you peel one dot at a time by hand, or load the entire roll into the AESUBdots Applicator Gun for rapid deployment across hundreds of dots in minutes.
Permanent adhesive holds the dots in place through repeated scans, part movement, and rotation — without lifting, drifting, or losing position between captures. Use the Easy Remove variant if you need to lift them after the scan; use Permanent when the dots stay.
Permanent Adhesive —
Built for Production Scanning
Each roll holds 3,000 retro-reflective dots ready to peel and place. The permanent adhesive holds dots through repeated scans, part rotation, and movement between scan stations — without lifting or drifting between captures. For high-volume production scanning, pair with the AESUBdots Applicator Gun to deploy hundreds of dots per minute on flat or gently curved surfaces.

Frequently Asked —
AESUBdots Retro Reflective Permanent 6mm
What scanners do AESUBdots Retro Permanent work with?
Designed for laser scanners — FARO Focus, Leica RTC360, Creaform HandyScan, and most other laser-based 3D scanning systems. The retro-reflective surface bounces laser light back to the scanner head for high-contrast reference detection. For structured-light scanners, the AESUBdots Black & White variant is the better choice.
Permanent vs Easy Remove — which should I order?
Permanent adhesive holds dots in place through scans, part movement, and rotation without drift — use this when the dots stay on the part after the scan or when adhesion needs to survive a workflow. Easy Remove (also $99/roll, separate SKU) peels off cleanly post-scan without residue — use this when you need to remove every dot after the scan.
How fast can I apply 3,000 dots?
By hand: realistically 5–10 minutes per 100 dots once you have a rhythm. With the AESUBdots Applicator Gun: load the roll, click-click-click — hundreds of dots per minute on a flat or gently curved surface. For large industrial parts (yacht hulls, car bodies, machine frames), the gun is the only practical method.
Can I use these with AESUB scanning sprays?
Yes — all AESUBdots variants are compatible with every vanishing AESUB spray (Blue, Violet, Orange, Transparent, Diamond). Apply the spray first to matte the surface, then place the dots on top. The retro-reflective surface stays visible through the matte spray coating.
What other diameters are available?
6 mm is the most common size and the industry standard. AESUBdots Retro Permanent are also available in 3 mm (for smaller parts and tighter detail) and 12 mm (for very large parts where you need fewer, more visible dots). Same $99/roll pricing structure applies.
Volume pricing for production scanning?
Standard tier: $99 / roll (1+), $89.90 / roll (5+), $79.90 / roll (10+). For high-volume production scanning operations, contact Rev1 at (248) 707-2950 or (248) 707-2950 for custom pricing on cases of 50 or 100 rolls.
