US Intelligence Report 3D Scanning Industry 2014-2018

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.

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

The report recognizes the following companies as the key players in the 3D Scanning Market in the US: 3D Systems Corp., Autodesk Inc., Basis Software Inc. (Surphaser), Creaform Inc., Faro Technologies Inc., Hexagon Metrology Inc. and Konica Minolta Inc.

Other Prominent Vendors in the market are: 3D Digital, Direct Dimensions, GOM, Leica, Maptek, NextEngine, ShapeGrabber, Steinbichler, Topcon and Trimble.

Increase in usage of structured light-based 3D scanning is one major trend emerging in the market. These scanners have various applications, including documenting objects of cultural heritage institutions, structured measurement of grinded surfaces, forensic investigations, and reverse engineering.
