Handheld vs. Industrial 3D Scanner: Which Is Right for You?
Precision is extremely important in modern manufacturing, prototyping, and design. This is why businesses are increasingly relying on a 3D scanner to capture accurate dimensions, validate parts, and improve product quality. But there are so many devices on the market, so should you choose a handheld 3D scanner or an industrial 3D scanner? At Evo3D, we provide all kinds of 3D scanners and also guide you in selecting the right solution for your specific needs. In this blog, let’s dissect the difference between handheld and industrial 3D scanners. Understanding 3D Scanners A 3D scanner captures the geometry of a physical object and then converts it into a digital 3D model. It uses technologies like lasers, structured light, or photogrammetry, and acquires millions of data points to recreate a precise digital version of the original object. These created models can then be used for inspection, reverse engineering, prototyping, or to prepare objects for additive manufacturing using a large...
