3D Scanners
Digitise 3D Objects
3D Scanning is the process implemented to collect data of a three-dimensional object or environment. This data is then analysed and reconstructed and results is a 3D digital file which can then be edited and reproduced via manufacturing mediums.
A 3D scanner can be based on many different technologies, each with its own limitations, advantages, and costs. Many limitations in the kind of objects that can be digitised are still present. for example, optical technology (such as the EinScan) may encounter many difficulties with shiny, reflective, or transparent objects.
