What is 3D Scanning and How to Use 3D Scanning?

3D Scanning is a phenomenon in which scanning of 3D real objects results in getting dimensions, design, and structure to recreate their similar appearance and look digitally. It can be useful to construct, analyze, or simulate ideas by scanning 3D objects. This is widely prevalent as "reverse engineering."

Following that, the scanned design is loaded into CAD software to gain a thorough understanding of it. And then this may be utilized in rendering commands to 3D printing machines in order to produce a new prototype. Make use of 3D scanning services if you do not have the time to create an innovative design. 

What are the reasons for using 3D scanning services?

These are the reasons for using these services in transportation, automobiles, jewelry, medical, oil and gas, footwear, and quality control. 

• Time and cost-saving
• Quality Assurance and Industrial Metrology
• Design and Dimensions Testing
• Boost productivity.
• Creates new and exciting products and services.
• High resolution: With a tolerance down to 0.05mm

How long it takes to scan a part?

IN3DTEC has the most sharped edge 3D scanners such as Creaform, Scantech, and Artec. With this wide range of scanners, we can scan a human size part as fast as 20 minutes. And scan a factory with tools within 2 days.

What CAD format can scanning create?

3D scanning can create formats compatible with 3D printing easily, such as STL, OBJ, etc. With reverse engineering, it can create some other formats such as STP, DXF, IGES, SOLIDT and more.
