The present disclosure provides a scanning apparatus placement method, an apparatus and a storage medium. The method includes: establishing a calculation model of a receiving cross section of a second scanning surface; based on the calculation model of a receiving cross section, within a preset rotation range of a first scanning apparatus and an allowable range of a first distance, obtaining a distribution set of sizes of cross sections corresponding to a size of the receiving cross section, an angle of the first scanning apparatus, and a first distance; and selecting a corresponding first distance from the distribution set of sizes of cross sections, when the sizes of the receiving cross sections are symmetrically distributed relative to an angle of the first scanning apparatus.
