Segment Overview
3D scanners are developed by using different technologies. Some of them are based on optical image sensing, where as some of them scan the objects by using laser technology. Structured light scanning is another emerging type of 3D scanning in which light strips are projected onto object and its details are captured. Optical scanners are highly sophisticated in terms of quality of scans; laser scanners are portable solutions and hence commonly found in various applications. Structured light scanners are less portable; however, capture the details of an object from multiple viewpoints simultaneously.
The scanners are basically categorized into short range, medium range and long range. Short range scanners scan the objects within the range of one meter. Medium range scanners scan the details of objects located within the range of few meters, typically up to ten meters. Long range scanners can scan the objects located within a range of 75 meters.
3D scanners in the market are commonly used to provide services such as reverse engineering, rapid prototyping, quality inspection, and body/face scanning. Reverse engineering includes the study of original model or machine to understand or enhance its components. Rapid prototyping means building of test models with the help of scanned data of original component. This prototyping is achieved by feeding the captured data to 3D printers.
The 3D scanners are used in numerous industries for several applications such as body scanning, prototyping and security surveillance among others. The services offered by 3D scanners are useful in industry applications such as entertainment & media, aerospace & defense, medical & healthcare, civil infrastructure, industrial manufacturing, and others. The other applications include educational research, pipe check solutions, and historical site protection.
