3D Scanner
- A 3D scanner is a device that analyzes a real-world object or environment to collect data on its shape and possibly its appearance (i.e. color). The collected data can then be used to construct digital three-dimensional models.
- Many different technologies can be used to build these 3D-scanning devices; each technology comes with its own limitations, advantages and costs. Many limitations in the kind of objects that can be digitized are still present, for example, optical technologies encounter many difficulties with shiny, mirroring or transparent objects. For example, industrial computed tomography scanning can be used to construct digital 3D models, applying non-destructive testing.
- Collected 3D data is useful for a wide variety of applications. These devices are used extensively by the entertainment industry in the production of movies and video games. Other common applications of this technology include industrial design, orthotics and prosthetics, reverse engineering and prototyping, quality control/inspection and documentation of cultural artifacts.
3D Scanning Advantages:
- Quickly capture all of the physical measurements of any physical object.
- Save time in design work.
- Ensure parts will fit together on the first try.
- Capture engineering optimizations inherent in manufactured parts.
- Utilize modern manufacturing on parts that were originally manufactured before CAD.
- Compare "as-designed" model to "as-built" condition of manufactured parts.
Features:
Full integration between the Sense and Cubify Sculpt enables creative freedom like never before. Sense has the most versatile scan range in its class with auto-optimized settings for objects large and small. Automatic object recognition extracts precise targets from the busiest of backgrounds. With quick cropping, enhancement and solidifying tools, Sense can prepare 3D printable files within minutes.
