3D Scanning service from 3D Hub
3D Hub offers high accuracy 3D scanning services for reverse engineering and computer aided inspection applications.
3D scanning refers to the rapid capture of data in order to define complex shapes utilizing optical technology. The 3D scanner employs some type of optical projection, either laser or structured light, and one or more cameras. The cameras detect pixels along the projected stripes in order to triangulate data points along each stripe.
The output from this process is called a “cloud of points”. Some objects may be scanned from multiple positions and orientations to ensure complete coverage. Point clouds can then be triangulated into a polygon mesh, or STL file. A complete, or watertight STL is suitable for 3D printing. Further processing may be required to develop a 3D solid model for reverse engineering, or compared to the original design for computer aided inspection.
3D scanning services can offer a number of benefits for businesses and individuals alike. Here are 10 of the most notable advantages:
- Increased accuracy and precision: 3D scanning services can deliver extremely accurate and precise results. This is due to the fact that 3D scanners use laser technology to capture detailed information about an object’s surface.
- Increased efficiency: 3D scanning services can save businesses a lot of time and money. This is because they can be used to quickly and easily create accurate 3D models of objects, which can then be used for various purposes (e.g. product development, marketing, etc.).
- Improved quality control: 3D scanning services can help businesses to improve their quality control processes. This is because 3D scanners can be used to quickly and easily identify defects in products.
- Enhanced design capabilities: 3D scanning services can enhance a business’s design capabilities. This is because 3D scanners can be used to create accurate 3D models of objects.
- Greater flexibility: 3D scanning services offer businesses greater flexibility. This is because they can be used to scan a wide range of objects.
- Increased speed: 3D scanning services can save businesses a lot of time. This is because they can be used to quickly and easily create accurate 3D models of objects, which can then be used for a variety of purposes (e.g. product development, marketing, etc.).
- Lower costs: 3D scanning services can help businesses to reduce their costs.
- Better decision making: 3D scanning services can help businesses to make better decisions. This is because 3D scanners can be used to quickly and easily create accurate 3D models of objects.
