3D Scanning Process 

Based on white light technology, FlexScan3D Software uses a projector and camera(s) for measuring the three-dimensional shape of an object. White light 3D scanners offer the following advantages over laser scanners:

• Faster scan times
• Produce dense and accurate data
• Higher detail levels
• Full field scanning: It takes the full view of the object instead of using laser beams
• Safe for people, even to the naked eye

An Overview of the 3D Scanning Process

A white light projector directs a series of reference patterns onto the subject. The light deflects onto the object’s surface. This process helps to calculate the object’s depth and surface information. Images of the data are captured using a one or two machine vision cameras.

FlexScan3D’s triangulation engine processes the images from the cameras to acquire the data needed to create a 3D model. Automated 3D capture drastically reduces the time and cost in capturing complex physical measurements.
