LEARN ABOUT 3D SCANNING

Discover the fundamentals of 3D scanning and explore how this cutting-edge technology is transforming industries, from design to manufacturing.

What Is 3D Scanning?

3D photogrammetry scanning creates a 3D model by combining many photos taken from different angles of an object or scene.

Capturing Images

The foundational step is acquiring multiple, overlapping photographs of the subject.
The number and quality of these images directly impact the final scan result.

Processing Images

Once captured, these images are fed into photogrammetry software, such as RealityCapture. This software identifies common reference points and unique features in the different images.

Creating 3D Models

For the final step, the software stitches the images together, applying textures and colors from the photographs to the 3D model.
