Scan laser etched features? Tips if possible please.

[[Mi...]]

I have a vanadium formed part that has been laser etched with a pattern (before forming while in flat sheet metal state)(formed state looks like a mixing bowl)

Now that the part has been formed the customer would like a scan of the part and I am having a difficult time capturing the laser etched pattern. I have played with the exposure time with mixed results, sometimes it would capture some of the etched shape yet have no depth (similar to a through hole) , other setting would have captured a few samples of the pattern with a "V" depth however once I polygonized the scan it would smooth out the etch feature.

ATOS 5 is our unit.

I am wondering if settings for metal sheets would work - like you want to measure diameter of a hole in metal sheet.

What settings you have for polygonizing? In expert settings you can set more. In Inspect manual pdf is more about it - worth of a try to read it about polygonization.
