3D scanning is the process of determining the shape, dimensions, and important features of an object using a 3D scanner. The result of the scan is a 3D file of the object that you can save, edit, or 3D print.
3D scanning makes it easier to capture and determine the actual shape, size and finest details of an object. It is an easier way to obtain a digital version of an item to create a 3D representation.
For Businesses
It helps in engineering, design and manufacturing processes for businesses. It helps in creating products faster with high quality and cost effective processes.
For end users/consumers
Some people want to scan and print their favorite things. Through this innovative way, consumers can save time on design work.
Scanning the object first is a shortcut to obtaining a 3D file. While the files still need to be modeled, it is easier for designers because they do not have to model from scratch. Their tasks will be more focused on refining the design to improve the quality of the output.
