IMTS 2014 Conference: 3D Scanners and Their Positioning Method

 

DATE: Wednesday, September 10 from 9:00 AM - 9:55 AM   ROOM: W-192B

 

SPEAKER: Daniel Brown, Product Manager, Creaform

 

This presentation aims to help individuals and companies select the type of 3D scanner that is right for them. The market nowadays is full of different types of products, different system categories, as well as, often, several different manufacturers for each category. This can make the selection of a 3D scanner both difficult and confusing. To make things simpler, we categorized 3D scanner categories according to one of their main features: the positioning method they use. 

 

The positioning method is defined as how a system captures the 3D space and then aligns the data collected during the scanning phase together. By analyzing the different scanners on the market on that specific angle, readers will be able to understand the different benefits and limitations of each scanner category, and make a more informed choice.

 

• 3D scanner types & their positioning methods

• Positioning methods for portable 3D scanners
