A tool that uses laser technology to capture 3D data is called 3D laser scanner, and is used in construction, manufacturing, archaeology, engineering, and architecture sectors. It uses the principle of light reflection, where the scanner sends laser beams that go to different surfaces before returning to the device. It calculates distance by measuring time taken for the light to return, resulting in the generation of a dense point cloud, which comprises millions of data points representing the scanned object in three-dimensional coordinates, thus delivering a digital model.
3D scanners provide accurate measurements, which help in project planning and execution in the construction sector. Thus, companies in the construction sector seek integrated laser scanners to enhance precision in project designs. This increases the demand for 3D laser scanners in the construction industry. In addition, 3D laser scanner also witness increased demand in the healthcare sector, where it is used for medical imaging, prosthetics, and others. It helps with surgical planning and patient care.
Rise in developments in infrastructure increases the need for efficient mapping technologies, such as 3D laser scanners. Further, these scanners are also used in the quality control process to guarantee precision and accuracy in the product. 3D scanners are also being integrated in digital tools to get precision in augmented reality and others. This increase in application boosts the demand for 3D laser scanners, which, in turn, fosters the market growth.
