# Post-processing Post-processing is required after data capture to transform the raw datasets into 3D models. The work involves a sequence of processing steps that can include: * Scaling data to reference points * Aligning datasets to bring them together in the same 3D coordinate system * Meshing (to transform data into a 3D mesh model) * Editing holes or topological errors in the mesh * Texturing (for example by projecting images on the 3D geometry) Post-processing also allows the creation of multiple 3D models from the same data for different applications with different levels of detail or other criteria. The results include: * Formats suitable for publishing on the web * Formats for 3D printing * Formats suitable for import into Virtual or Augmented reality applications * Preservation formats --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter: ``` GET https://carare.gitbook.io/share-3d-guidelines/3d-process/modelling.md?ask= ``` The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
