What is 3D Scanning?

3D scanning is an innovative technology that captures the shape of a physical object using a 3D scanner. The scanner creates ‘point clouds’ of data from the surface of an object, which can be processed to produce a digital 3D representation. This digital model can then be used for a variety of applications, such as inspection, replication, or further modification in a CAD (Computer-Aided Design) environment.

Our 3D Scanning Process

At Digital Realities, we’ve streamlined the 3D scanning process to make it as efficient and precise as possible. Here’s how it works:

  1. Preparation: We start by preparing the object for scanning. This may involve cleaning the object or applying a special coating to ensure the best possible scan.
  2. Scanning: We then use our state-of-the-art 3D scanners to capture the object from multiple angles, creating a detailed point cloud of data.
  3. Processing: The collected data is processed using advanced software to generate a 3D digital model that accurately represents the scanned object.
  4. Final Delivery: We deliver the digital model to you in your desired format, ready for your downstream applications such as CAD modelling, inspection, or 3D printing.
