The Head & Face Scanner motion system has only one manual adjustment (the scanhead height) and is otherwise completely controlled by the bundlded CyScan software. Cyberware software provides specific features for controlling the scanner. The Head & Face Color 3D Scanner Bundle also includes CySurf / CyEdit+ software that provides a means for editing scanned data and converting that data into a simple NURBS surface.

Software gives one total control of the Head & Face scanner operating on a graphics workstation. Software tools available from Cyberware allow the user to manipulate and analyze the 3D models in a variety of ways. The user can automatically measure attributes such as area and volume. The user can edit models with operations such as clipping, scaling, recentering, removal of spikes and embossing.

One can also use popular third-party programs to work with the 3D models. Cyberware supplies translation tools that convert the scanner's data array to a form readable by most third-party programs. (The Cyberware data format is in the public domain, so it is easy to create your own special-purpose translation routines.)

Users might also consider the CySlice software in order to create complex NURBS, Subdivision Surface, or ordered polygon datasets.
