How to use a 3d scanner?

How to use the 3d scanner: First, place the object to be measured in the measurement space of the 3d scanner.

Then through the computer operation program, the laser scanner scans the object, collects the points on the surface of the object, and converts these points into a three-dimensional model. Finally, using computer software to process the three-dimensional model, we can get the complete data of the object, including size, shape, material and so on.

Using 3d scanner can save a lot of time, and the shape of an object can be measured accurately and quickly without long-term manual measurement. In addition, 3d scanner can also be used to scan and analyze the surface details of objects, and can measure the exact size of objects without damaging them, which is impossible for traditional measurement methods.

Functions of 3d scanner

The purpose of 3d scanner is to create a point cloud on the geometric surface of an object, which can be interpolated into the surface shape of the object. The denser the point clouds, the more accurate the model can be created (this process is called 3D reconstruction). If the scanner can get the color of the surface, it can further paste the material map on the reconstructed surface, which is called material printing.

A 3d scanner can be likened to a camera. Its line of sight is conical, and its information collection is limited to a certain range. The difference between the two is that the camera captures color information, while the 3d scanner measures distance. Because the measurement result contains depth information, it is usually called depth video or distance video.
