Common applications for 3D Scanning

3D scanning an existing object into a 3D mesh has many different uses. The most common uses are:

  • Recreating an object for 3D printing (this can include broken or no longer manufactured parts)
  • Creating an asset for 3D animation, video game design, augmented reality, or virtual reality
  • Reverse engineering and CAD design
