How do 3D scanners work?

3D laser scanners send trillions of light photons toward an object and only receive a small percentage of those photons back via the optics that they use. With that technique, 3D scanners can build a 3D modeling object very quickly. 3D scanners produce a picture describing the distance information of each point to an object. Moreover, the 3D scanner photon’s probes the object surface at the speed of light.

Why use 3D scanners?

3D scanners are usually used to acquire the x, y and z coordinates of millions of points of an object and directly generate a polygonal mesh of the part to recreate it in 3D. 3D scanners help understanding complex forms or presenting a visual conception of your work. With the 3D models produced by the 3D scanners, you can reproduce or trace shapes fast. 3D scanners are widely used in the automotive and aerospace industries, and also in the entertainment industry to digitalize 3D models for movies and video games, for example. Plus, 3D scanners are more and more used in orthotics to capture a 3D shape of the patients.
