Exploring the Advancements and Applications of 3D Scanners
Exploring the Advancements and Applications of 3D Scanners Three-dimensional (3D) scanning technology has revolutionised various industries and has become an essential tool for designers, engineers, architects, and manufacturers. 3D scanners enable the creation of digital models that can be used for a range of applications, from prototyping to quality control, and even entertainment. A 3D scanner is a device that captures the geometry of a physical object and creates a digital representation of it. The scanner works by projecting a light source onto the object and capturing the reflected light to create a point cloud. The point cloud is then used to create a digital model of the object, which can be edited, analyzed, and used for various applications. There are two main types of 3D scanners: contact and non-contact. Contact 3D scanners use a physical probe to touch the surface of the object and capture its shape, while non-contact 3D scanners use laser, structured light, or photogram...
