3D scan
3D scanning allows for an object to be represented and viewed from all angles and is not limited to a single axis (direction).
all you need is one 3D scan to acquire the 3D data. thence you can produce infinitely, modify infinitely, and share infinitely. plus, 3D data has infinite shelf life.
3D scan applications are virtually limitless. from micro to large components, kitCAD3d only uses some of the world’s best 3D scanners.
our scanners have been used to scan drones, cars, spare parts, automotive replacement parts, mould, jewelry, industrial components, dentistry parts, human body, and many more. 3D scanning is used in industrial manufacturing, precision manufacturing, healthcare, CGI (computer-generated imagery), e-commerce, and many more.
furthermore, 3D scanning excels in complex shapes & dimensions measurements, which can be completed in minutes.
our metrology-grade, micro 3D scanner from Solutionix/Medit (South Korea) delivers up to 0.01mm precision. scanner accuracy certified by VDI/VDE, a body of the Association of German Engineers.
kitCAD3d’s micro scanner is best-suited for small jewelry, industrial components, precious stones, miniatures, etc. Maximum dimensions are 80*60*60mm.
for larger objects, Artec Leo 3D scanner (Luxembourg) is one of the world’s best high-performance industrial-grade 3D scanners, delivering up to 0.1mm precision. It is the world’s only cable-free, AI-driven 3D scanner.
physical scanning typically takes less than 5 minutes (longer for massive and highly complex objects). fast, rapid scanning is enabled by Artec Leo's high frames reconstruction rate.
being handheld and cable-free means flexibility in handling restrictive spaces. moreover, Artec Leo works well indoors and outdoors.
3d scan output options
choose from texture output for a realistic representation, or photogrammetry for photo-quality representation. or you can do without and simply opt for a mesh or CAD model. the choice is yours.
