Product Overview

3D scanning is a process that is used to capture the three-dimensional attributes of objects, as well as information such as texture and color. Companies and industries use this technology in a range of manufacturing processes in order to save time, effort, and cost. In order to accurately capture the dimensions of objects, laser, light, and/or x-rays in the design of 3D scanners are used to create point clouds. These point clouds are then used to produce a 3D representation of the scanned object with the help of software. Currently, 3D scanners are widely used as powerful tools in industries such as aerospace and defense, entertainment & media, automotive, healthcare, construction, and numerous other sectors. 3D scanners have made it possible to shorten product development and manufacturing time, and this provides a competitive edge to players in various markets and industries. Technological advancements happening in terms of portability, image quality, and scanning range are opening up new application areas for 3D scanning equipment. Some factors that are currently driving the growth of the global 3D scanning market are the use of high definition content recording for movies and films, growth of the global 3D printing market. These are among some of the key factors expected to continue to drive growth of the market, as well as open up new potential for applications during the forecast period. However, most 3D scanners currently available in the market are relatively expensive, and this is among some of the primary restraints to adopting these products.

Market Dynamics

Industries such as manufacturing, healthcare, construction, entertainment, and automobile are using 3D scanning technology for applications such as rapid prototyping, quality inspection, reverse engineering, and body scans.  The number of potential applications of 3D scanners is expected to further increase over the forecast period. Advancements in medical facilities and infrastructure increased income levels, and rising awareness regarding safety and hygiene has been resulting in increasing adoption of modern and more efficient scanning technologies in healthcare applications. Among some of the major restraints in the global 3D scanning, market are the major price differences between conventional 2D alternatives and 3D technology solutions. Customers are price-sensitive as 3D scanning solutions are more expensive than 2D alternatives. Hence, only companies with the budget and the need for sophisticated end deliverables prefer and opt for high-cost 3D scanners products. Most of the players in the market are medium-sized, and they require efficient 3D scanners. Owing to high prices, medium-sized companies opt for 2D alternatives owing to budget constraints related to 3D scanners. The market for 3D printing has been registering major growth in the recent past, and 3D scanners are being increasingly being adopted for prototype building models, printing of a variety of products in various industries, and modeling of objects, parts, and components, etc.  In order to get exact details of real objects, these need to be scanned and all references captured and fed into a computer. The reconstruction is then completed using a 3D printing machine. As the application areas continue to expand, demand for and usage of 3D scanning and printing is expected to increase substantially, thus driving the growth of the global 3D scanning market to a significant extent over the forecast period.

Patent Number: US20060269896A1

High speed 3D scanner and uses thereof

Abstract

A scanning system is disclosed including a hand-held scanning device for capturing three-dimensional information of an object. The scanner system includes a high-speed transceiver having a high-speed laser light source, a high frequency MEMS oscillating scanning mirror and software for frame registration. Laser based range finding technique is used to map the scanned object. MEMS oscillating at high speed enables rapid and accurate scanning of an object. The scanning can be performed without knowledge or even precise control of the position of the object relative to the scanner. Random movement of the object during scanning is also possible. The scanner can be used for a variety of purposes, including medical and industrial purposes. The illustrated embodiment is in-vivo scanning of human teeth for purposes of orthodontic treatment planning and diagnosis. Several benefits from the scanner are possible: much higher resolution of the scanned object, improved acquisition speed of the three-dimensional information of the surface of the object to be mapped, and the improvement in virtual image clarity.

Patent Number: US7933055B2

Laser scanner

Abstract

A laser scanner for detecting spatial surroundings comprises a stator (21), a rotor (1), mounted on the stator (21) to be rotatable about a first rotational axis, and a rotary body (2), mounted on the rotor (1) to be rotatable about a second rotational axis. A laser source (6) and a detector (7) are arranged in the rotor (1). One optical link (9) each is configured on the second rotational axis on every side of the rotary body (2) between the rotor (1) and the rotary body (2) so that emission light can be introduced by the laser source into the rotary body (2) via the first optical link (8) and reception light can be discharge from the rotary body (2) via the second optical link (9). A first rotary drive (25) drives the rotor (21) and a second rotary drive (26) drives the rotary body (2). Two goniometers (4) and evaluation electronics (5) which are connected to the laser source (6) and the detector (7) allow association of a detected distance with a corresponding direction. The rotary body (2) can have a very compact design, is completely passive and therefore does not require any power supply or transmission of signals.
