3D scanning offers a variety of benefits for a wide array of industries. But, to recognize those benefits, it is important to first understand what 3D scanning technology actually is. A 3D scanner is built to pull data, including measurements, from an object or environment, often with the intention of replication. As you might imagine, this kind of technology offers a plethora of data that contains detailed insights about the object or environment in question.
One of the primary reasons to add 3D scanners to a business, particularly one involving production, is efficiency. A 3D scanner can make the development, design, and production of a product faster and more efficient, in part due to increased precision and accuracy. Additionally, the addition of 3D scanners enables the personalization of a variety of crucial products, such as medical devices and prosthetics. These personalizations can lead to increased customer satisfaction and comfort of use.
Read on to discover what industries commonly use 3D scanning, how 3D scanning might benefit your business, and the role Exact Metrology can play.
What Industries Use 3D Scanning
Many industries currently employ 3D scanning for their essential processes. One of the most common industries using 3D scanning technology is quality control and inspection. Because 3D scanning technology allows for significantly increased precision and replicability, it is no wonder the quality control and inspection industry has seen the value in its adoption. In addition to increased consistency across manufacturing, using 3D scanning as part of production also increases the quality and speed of output. In turn, these increases contribute to streamlined inspection processes. One way you might see a 3D scanner for inspection in action is through the creation of precise 3D models for the manufactured parts. These models can serve as examples for better understanding and as quality comparison objects. The presence of these models also allows for optimization of workflows as manufacturers can use them to more efficiently plan and break up the manufacturing process of a product or product element.
Other industries that frequently use 3D scanning include the aerospace, automotive, dental, and medical industries. In aerospace and automotive, we see 3D data being used to create CAD models of aircraft and automobiles, allowing for additional precise development and design. In the dental industry, 3D dental scans provide increased accuracy, precision, and comfort when scanning a patient’s mouth and teeth. A 3D scan is much less invasive than the old-school x-ray options! And in the larger medical industry, 3D scanning has led to outstanding innovations in prosthetics, braces, and implants. Patients in need of such devices are able to live much more comfortable lives with more precise and tailored equipment to rely on.
In summary, two of the main ways we are seeing 3D scanning technology being employed across industries are prototyping and reverse engineering. Prototyping through 3D printing involves the scanning of an object, translation of the object’s data into a digital map of the object, and printing a highly precise 3D prototype of the object. Reverse engineering refers to the production of an object without access to a CAD file or other form of blueprint. Reverse engineering 3D scanners seek to determine the geometric measurements of an object or environment, thereby creating a fresh CAD file for future production or archival purposes.

3D scanning ni njia ya kuvutia ya kuvutia ya kuvutia kwa ajili ya sekta mbalimbali. Ili kuelewa faida za teknolojia hii, ni muhimu kwanza kuelewa ni nini teknolojia ya 3D. Scanner 3D ni vifaa vya kuunganisha data kutoka kwa kitu au mazingira, mara nyingi kwa nia ya kuiga. Kama unavyoweza kufikiria, teknolojia hii inatoa data nyingi ambazo zina ufahamu wa kina kuhusu kitu au mazingira yanayohusika. Moja ya sababu za msingi za kuongeza scanner ya 3D kwa biashara, hasa moja inayohusisha uzalishaji, ni ufanisi. 3D scanner inaweza kufanya maendeleo, kubuni, na uzalishaji wa bidhaa kwa kasi zaidi na ufanisi zaidi, kwa sehemu kutokana na kuongezeka kwa usahihi na usahihi. Kwa kuongezea, kuongeza skana za 3D huwezesha ubinafsishaji wa bidhaa mbalimbali muhimu, kama vile vifaa vya matibabu na proteti. Hizi customizations inaweza kusababisha kuongezeka kwa kuridhika kwa wateja na faraja ya matumizi. Soma hapa ili kujua ni viwanda gani vinavyotumia upasuaji wa 3D, jinsi upasuaji wa 3D unavyoweza kufaidika na biashara yako, na jukumu la ExactMetrology. 3D Scanning ni teknolojia ya kuvutia ya 3D ambayo inatumika katika viwanda vingi vya 3D, na kwa sasa inatumika katika viwanda vingi vya 3D. Moja ya viwanda vya kawaida kutumia 3D scanning teknolojia ni ubora wa kudhibiti na ukaguzi. Kwa sababu teknolojia ya kuchanganua 3D inaruhusu usahihi na replicability iliyoongezeka sana, haishangazi kwamba sekta ya udhibiti wa ubora na ukaguzi imeona thamani katika kupitishwa kwake. Kwa kuongezea kuongezeka kwa uthabiti katika utengenezaji, kutumia skanning ya 3D kama sehemu ya uzalishaji pia huongeza ubora na kasi ya pato. Kwa upande mwingine, ongezeko hilo huchangia utaratibu wa ukaguzi. Kwa mfano, unaweza kutumia scanner ya 3D ya 3D ili kugundua bidhaa yako na kuunda mfano wa 3D wa bidhaa yako. Mifano hii inaweza kutumika kama mifano kwa ajili ya uelewa bora na kama ubora kulinganisha vitu. Uwepo wa mifano hii pia inaruhusu optimization ya workflows kama wazalishaji wanaweza kutumia yao kwa ufanisi zaidi mpango na kuvunja mchakato wa utengenezaji wa bidhaa au bidhaa kipengele. Viwanda vingine vinavyotumia upasuaji wa 3D ni pamoja na anga, magari, meno, na viwanda vya matibabu. Katika anga na magari, tunaona data ya 3D ikitumiwa kuunda mifano ya CAD ya ndege na magari, ikiruhusu maendeleo ya ziada ya usahihi na kubuni. Katika sekta ya meno, scan 3D ya meno hutoa usahihi ulioongezeka, usahihi, na faraja wakati wa kuchunguza mdomo na meno ya mgonjwa. Uchunguzi wa 3D ni rahisi zaidi kuliko chaguzi za zamani za X-ray!
