3D scanning is the process of using a 3D scanner to capture the three-dimensional data of an existing object, 3D scanning has many applications, including:
1. Reverse engineering. 3D scanning can be used for reverse engineering, which is the process of reconstructing the CAD model of an object from its three-dimensional data. Normally it is suitable for the following conditions:
1. The object does not have a CAD model, or the CAD model is lost or damaged.
2. The object needs to be improved or optimized.
3. The object needs to be copied or reproduced.
2. Product design. 3D scanning can be used for product design, which is the process of quickly generating a CAD model of a new product from the three-dimensional data of an existing object. This can save time and cost in product design.
3. Product inspection. 3D scanning can be used for product inspection, which is the process of comparing the actual three-dimensional data of an object to a standard model to determine if the object meets specifications.
