What is 3D Scanning – 3D Scanning Defined

By : Bill Decker/ Tags : 3d scanning, 3d scanning explanation/Category : What is 3D Printing/0 Comment

Picture an xRay or an MRI of an object. Instead of a flat scan (the kind that makes a fax machine work or a photocopy) you can put an object into a box and scan it on all dimensions. If it’s a baseball, you can scan the size, shape, color, trademarks and stitching. Then you would have a digital image on a disk that you can put into a 3D Printer to recreate the baseball. 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.
