3D scanning is a fast and accurate method of transferring the physical measurements of an object to a computer in an organized manner, producing 3D scan data. A 3D scanner measures the physical world using lasers, lights or x-rays and generates dense point clouds. The 3D attributes of an object are captured along with information such as color and texture and a point cloud is then created by the hardware. The software converts this point cloud into a digital 3D object representation with high accuracy. The technology saves time, cost and efforts during the manufacturing process and improves the quality of output. It also has immense applications in industries such as Healthcare, Entertainment, and Construction.

TechNavio's analysts forecast the 3D Scanning market in the US to grow at a CAGR of 10.94 percent over the period 2013-2018.
