A 3D scanner is a device that analyzes a real-world object or environment to collect data on its REVscanshape. The collected data can then be used to construct digital, three dimensional models useful for a wide variety of applications.

How do 3D scanners work?
3D laser scanners send trillions of photons at the speed of light toward an object and send information back by optic waves to produce a picture. With this technique the scanners builds a 3D modeling of an object very quickly and accurately.
Why use 3D scanners?
3D scanners create a visual model of an object that can then be used for multiple purposes. 3D scanners are widely used in the automotive, aerospace and healthcare industries. The entertainment industry also uses 3D scanning techniques to digitize 3D models for movies and video games.
At MPI Restoration Services we use 3D scanning to build obsolete parts and invent new tools for the automotive, marine, and healthcare industries as well as government agencies.
