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.

3D Scanning Market
in the US 2014-2018, has been prepared based on an in-depth market analysis
with inputs from industry experts. The report covers the US; it also covers the
3D Scanning market in the US landscape and its growth prospects in the coming
years. The report also includes a discussion of the key vendors operating in
this market.
According to the
report, one of the major drivers in this market is the increased demand for 3D
laser scanning. Most architectural and civil engineering organizations use
laser scanners to improve their client relations, and thus increase their
revenue.
Further, the report
states that high implementation costs associated with 3D devices and
applications is one major challenge in the market. The high cost of maintenance
of 3D scanners is restricting its acceptance by organizations and is limiting
its penetration in the market.
