peel 3D Reflective Reference Target Dots
Compare positioning markers for target-based peel 1, peel 2 and peel 3 scanning workflows.
Quick answer: peel 3D scanners differ by generation and tracking mode. Certain peel workflows use reflective positioning targets, often 6 mm, while others can align using the surface geometry. Verify your scanner's target requirement before buying a replacement size.
Use the model-specific reference table below for details. A matching marker diameter does not by itself certify scanner compatibility.
Shop recommended reference targets
Choose a size and format, then follow the product link for current prices and availability. These are genuine Messpunkte product photographs; the selected product variant determines the final size and adhesive.
6 mm reflective sheets
For peel 3D workflows specifically configured for 6 mm references.
6 mm standard roll
4,000 dots, economical when applying many positioning markers.
6 mm magnetic dots
Reusable reference options if recognized in a compatible setup.
3 mm reflective dots
Only for peel scanner modes explicitly supporting 3 mm target recognition.
Which format is right for my application?
Check peel 1, peel 2, peel 2-S, peel 3 or peel 3.CAD and the active scanning mode.
Some scans track object geometry without the same marker placement.
For 6 mm workflows compare standard sheets and economical rolls.
Spray addresses difficult surface reflectivity; target dots address tracking.
Scanner models and target compatibility
| Scanner family | Reference guidance | Action |
|---|---|---|
| peel 1 / peel 2 / peel 2-S | Retro-reflective markers may support alignment | Check exact target recognition |
| peel 3 / peel 3.CAD | Varies by software and mode | Match supplied consumables |
| Geometry-based alignment | May not require adhesive dots | Use scanner workflow instructions |
Follow the exact scanner and measurement-mode specification; where manufacturer-supported compatibility has not been established, suggestions are presented as starting points.
Reusable and specialty reference targets
Alternatives to reapplying adhesive markers on every scan, subject to your scanner's recognition and mounting requirements.
6 mm magnetic reflective dots
Reusable magnetic markers for compatible steel surfaces. Keep each marker rigidly positioned throughout the scan.
6 mm glueless markers
210 marker pack for temporary placement, using the exact glueless Messpunkte variant photograph.
Reusable target strips
40 strips for convenient positioning. Reference markers are purchased separately.
Magnetic hex reference bases
Multi-face magnetic bases; size L supports up to 8 mm dots. Request the required configuration and lead time.
Do you need scanning spray, too?
Reference markers support positioning and scan alignment. ATTBLIME matting spray helps capture optically challenging surfaces. Keep markers clear of overspray so the scanner can recognize them.
Frequently asked questions
Do all peel 3D scanners need target markers?
No. Some workflows rely on geometry or features; others benefit from positioning markers.
Is 6 mm always correct?
Not universally. Match the target size for the specific peel model and software mode.
Should I buy a 6 mm roll?
If the scanner accepts 6 mm and you scan frequently, the 4,000-dot roll offers lower unit cost.
Can I reuse magnetic markers?
For ferrous workpieces where marker recognition and positional stability are adequate.
Are Messpunkte markers peel-branded products?
No. These are independent aftermarket consumables.

Technical review: November 2026. Scanner names identify potential applications only. Messpunkte reference markers are independent aftermarket consumables; a matching nominal size alone does not guarantee optical compatibility.
