3D scanning is used when technicians need a 3D model or representation of an object or an environment. Laser and optical technology are used in unison to scan the object and collect visual, dimensional, and physical data.
What Is 3D Laser Scanning?
3D scanners use laser light to scan hundreds of thousands of points on the surface of an object. They capture its geometry and texture to construct a highly detailed 3D model. Best used for visual representations of complex objects, the scan is completed in real time and provides insight on dimensions for purposes of remodeling or reverse-engineering equipment or areas.
After the scan is completed, technicians can review the digital model via the scanner's interface or with a printed model created from the data. There are a variety of types of 3D laser scanner rental options on the market, such as handheld 3D scanners and AI-driven 3D scanners from industry-leading manufacturers.
This power in a portable, handheld device is truly innovative, as it removes the inconvenience of cables from its predecessor and instead simplifies the process by only requiring the operator to point and scan.
Applications
- Scanning mechanical objects
