Step-by-step
Step 1
YOUR FABRIC
Find a physical fabric that you want to digitise. Position the fabric on a flat surface at a suitable height for you to comfortably take photos of it.
Step 2
CAMERA & FLASH
Get your camera and flash ready. No expensive dedicated machinery or equipment needed. Use a camera you already have, buy one in an electronics store near you, borrow/rent from someone you know, or order one as part of the Bandicoot onboarding kit
Step 3
SCAN FROM A5 - B0 SIZE
Position the PRO Chart over the fabric area that you want to digitise. Use an appropriately sized chart that fits your fabric/pattern repeat. Charts are available in sizes up to 1m.

Step 4
MOVE AROUND THE FABRIC
Scan your fabric by taking a series of flash photos of the fabric and chart from different angles. Bandicoot will automatically detect the precise angle of each photo when we process the scan.
