The rise of 3D scanners has not been short-lived in the 1970s and 1980s, and it has been developing for decades. With the development of the 3D industry, there are more and more scanning equipments and solutions. The classification of 3D scanners is also increasing. It is used for 3D inspection and reverse design of various workpieces in various industries. The following mainly introduces a camera-type 3D scanner and a handheld 3D scanner.

1. Photographic 3D scanner

The camera-type 3D scanner is a non-contact white light scanner that has been first developed at home and abroad, and its scanning characteristics are high and the stability is strong. Solved many industrial problems, such as product quality inspection, rapid modeling, etc., but the lack of white light anti-environment interference ability, high requirements for ambient light, scanning operation calibration is more troublesome, scanning speed is better slow. With the continuous development of camera technology has also matured, the above problems have been made up, Blu-ray scanners are gradually coming out, its scanning speed, stability, anti-interference ability have been strengthened.

2. Handheld 3D scanner

The handheld 3D scanner is a line laser 3D scanner after sending a camera scanner. As its name suggests, its light source is a line laser. Most of the hand-held scanners that have just come out are single-line lasers, which have fast scanning speed, convenient operation, and light weight for carrying. They are used in various complicated scenes without interference from external factors. However, its accuracy is not as good as that of a camera-type 3D scanner, which requires too high precision or the workpiece to be scanned is too small.

However, with the development of the industry, the handheld 3D scanner technology has matured, and the market is no longer a single-line laser scanning, 7-line, 14-line, or more laser lines, and its accuracy is almost comparable to that of a camera-type 3D scanner. Hiring the United States, it goes without saying that its scanning speed has doubled, which not only saves time and cost, but also greatly increases the experience of giving.

Nowadays, the rapid rise of handheld 3D scanners has gradually gradually replaced the camera-type 3D scanners. The convenience and quick operation give users a great sense of experience, but the only certainty is that the price is convenient. The camera-type 3D scanner is still popular among many users, and its high cost performance is also a major advantage that cannot be ignored.
