3D scanning is used when technicians need a 3D model or representation of an object or an environment. Laser technology is used during this process.
What Is 3D Laser Scanning Equipment?
3D laser scanners are devices that provide an operator with a way to scan an object, collect visual and physical data, and view the results. After the 3D scanner is used technicians can review the digital model via the 3D scanner interface or with a printed model, created from the data. There are a variety of types of 3D laser scanner rentals on the market, such as handheld 3D scanners and AI-driven 3D scanners from industry-leading manufacturers.

How Do 3D Scanners Work?
3D laser scanners take in data using laser light and sensor cameras. As an object is scanned, the data is shown through a point cloud and resulting files from those points. After the object is analyzed, a 3D image is produced with the chosen software. The digital model of the object can then be viewed and further analyzed.
