Three-dimensional scanning technology and 3D printing technology have been around since the 1980s, and today's technology is becoming more mature. 3D scanning technology is a revolutionary measurement technology that subverts the traditional measurement mode and has been widely used and developed in various fields. It scans the surface shape of an object to obtain the three-dimensional coordinates of the object. It is also possible to scan the color information and finally generate a virtual three-dimensional digital model of the object.

3D printing, used to be called 'rapid prototyping technology' in the field of scientific research, teaching or manufacturing. The more vivid image of 3D printing is called “rapid prototyping technology”, which is accepted and popularized by the public. With the rapid development of materials science, rapid prototyping technology is expanding in various fields, such as printing buildings, printing cars, printing human organs, printing bones, and we can also print our own creative works with 3D printers.

The emergence of 3D scanners has taken traditional industrial manufacturing to a whole new level, and the 3D printing industry has also emerged. Today, there are many areas where these two technologies are used, such as quality inspection, reverse engineering, geomorphological surveys, Biomedicine, industrial design, cultural relics protection, teaching applications, film special effects, game material production, etc.

3D scanner application in 3D printing industry

The scanned object is scanned by a 3D scanner to obtain high-precision 3D data, combined with a 3D printer, and the entity is printed. The perfect combination of 3D scanning technology and 3D printer technology can better develop personalized products and make 3D scanning. Technology to service product personalization is an important step in popularization.
