3D Scanning Technology
What is 3D scanning technology?
3D laser scanning uses a laser to capture the shape of physical objects. This technology is a non-contact and non-destructive way to capture the object’s exact size and shape while creating a 3D digital copy of the object on a computer. The process is very fast, gathering up to 1,300,000 measurements/s and equally precise, measuring to .0009″. Once the 3D digital copy is made, the object can be reverse-engineered and modified in CAD.
What are some of the applications in which to use 3D scanning?
- Quality Control
- CAD Design
- Replacement Parts
- Tooling Design
- Assembly and Production
- Prototyping
