3D Scan
3D scanning technology can be applied at any point in a typical manufacturing cycle or design process, saving you time, money and material. 3D scanning can help you create high quality parts or replicas , better fitting parts through dimensionally accurate referencing, that are less costly to manufacture. The cost of a typical manufacturing design cycle is greatly reduced by utilizing 3D scanning.
3D Scanning Benefits and Applications
Prototype
3D scanning can greatly reduce the number of prototype design cycles necessary. A part designed using 3D scan data may not require prototyping at all since it is designed utilizing precise measurements provided by the technology. 3D scanning can also be used in combination with prototyping to scale physical objects.
Engineering
3D scan data directly translates a physical object to the engineering and design phase of a project in a way that the created point cloud is understood by the engineers CAD software.
Concept & Design
Using physical objects as a digital reverence to conceptualize an idea;
Scanning real world objects can greatly benefit the digital design process and save time and cost. 3D scanning can also be applied in augmented reality applications, digital avatars and renderings in concept illustrations.
Full Body Scanning
Since 3D technology creates endless possibilities of customization, it opens doors to different industries.
Prosthetic or aesthetic body analysis, dental scans, avatar creation and custom fitted clothing are just a few applications of 3D body scans in the field.
