High-precision industrial 3D scanner technology analysis
2019-06-01
Why is 3D printing so hot? Because 3D technology has long existed, fire is a market trend, the industry is looking for technical power points, 3D printing just meets the requirements, desktop personal 3D printing has broad prospects, and the open source technology foundation has greatly reduced the entry barrier. The combination also caused the current scene of fire.
However, relative 3D scanning is a strange word for most people. Recently, Holon3D will release 3D scanning products. This product is a derivative of 3D printing technology. As the eyes of 3D printers, 3D scanning is expected to win people's favor. So what is 3D scanning technology? What are the application areas, advantages and disadvantages of 3D scanning technology? Can it be combined with 3D printing? This article will provide a comprehensive and systematic introduction to give you a better understanding of 3D scanning technology.
What is a 3D scanner?
The 3D scanner is a scientific instrument used to detect and analyze the shape (geometry) and appearance data (such as color, surface albedo, etc.) of objects or environments in the real world. The collected data is often used to perform 3D reconstruction calculations to create a digital model of the actual object in the virtual world. These models have a wide range of applications, including industrial design, flaw detection, reverse engineering, robot guidance, geomorphology, medical information, bioinformatics, criminal identification, digital artifact collection, film production, game creation materials, etc. application. The production of 3D scanners does not rely on a single technology. Different reconstruction technologies have their advantages and disadvantages, and the cost and price are also high and low. There is currently no universal reconstruction technique, and instruments and methods are often limited by the surface characteristics of the object.
