3D scanning systems are used within various industries including automotive, aerospace, medical and manufacturers. 3D scanning is the process of capturing digital information about the shape of an object with equipment that uses a laser or light to measure the distance between the scanner and the object. 3D scanning can capture very small objects all the way up to full-size airplanes and skyscraper buildings. 3D scanning can be used for reverse engineering and computer-aided inspections (CAI).

3D laser scanners captures tens of thousands of points per second by sensing the reflection of a laser line bounced off the surface of the target object or surface. With 3D laser scanners production parts can be inspected quickly.
Benefits of 3D scanning include:

instant 3D image
time saving
detecting areas of poor product performance
enhancing a product’s design
accurate measurements of an object
offers cost benefits for metal fabricating and sheet-metal forming
provides documentation to evaluate a product for quality inspection and re-design

In conclusion, 3D scanning helps increase manufacturing efficiency, captures data quickly, shortens production cycles and improves product quality.
