In recent years, handheld portable 3D scanners have continued to grow in popularity due to their versatility and convenience. They have become an essential tool in many industries, including architecture, engineering, manufacturing, and product design. And it is generally agreed that there are many 3D scanning benefits across these industries. However, since there are a plethora of different options on the market, it is difficult to know which handheld portable 3D scanner to choose for your project. In this article, Exact Metrology explores the factors to consider when selecting the best portable 3D scanner.

3D scanning has become an increasingly popular option for a variety of purposes across numerous industries. If you are ready to take your manufacturing and production endeavors to the next level, it is time for you to choose the right scanner for your industry. When you are in the market for a 3D scanning device, there are several factors to consider before making a purchase. Here are some tips on what to prioritize that should help you find the best 3D scanning tool for your needs:

A 3D digital scanner is a powerful device that can capture a real-world object’s shape, size, and texture in three dimensions. The scanner then creates a digital model of the object, which can be analyzed, manipulated, and measured using computer software. There are a variety of 3D digital scanners on the market today, including ones specifically designed for different purposes and settings. Additionally, a wide array of industries now rely on 3D digital scanners for their essential processes.

Compared to older measuring tools, 3D scanners are known for their increased accuracy. But what happens when a 3D measurement scanner is in human hands rather than secured to a stable surface? While keeping your scanner stationary in your lab, workshop, or business is sometimes an option, many industries may rely on the portability of a handheld 3D measuring scanner. Your work takes you to amazing places, and your 3D scanner can go with you. There are a few important details to understand about the accuracy of handheld 3D scanners when you take them out in the field or even when using them in a controlled environment. While these devices maintain an extremely high degree of accuracy, knowing about the factors that can affect their measurements will ensure you get the most out of your equipment.

Laser scanning equipment is an essential tool in numerous environments. From engineering applications to medical and structural scans of buildings or historic sites, laser scanners are revered tools of industries that require high-quality, hyper-accurate digital renders of material objects. An example of this can be found in the construction industry, where a 3D laser scanner can produce digital scan data of entire structures with the application engineer being a safe distance away. Integrating laser scanning equipment into your toolkit is easy with expert guidance and service from Exact Metrology. We are excited to help you select and train to use the equipment that will accelerate your business and are here to share 10 important elements of 3D laser scanning equipment.

Precision is crucial in manufacturing settings. Because there are multiple ways to achieve the accuracy necessary to design and manufacture high-quality parts and products, it’s useful to know the differences between industrial measuring systems. There are several differences between CMM and 3D scanners for manufacturing that are beneficial to understand. Moreover, knowing more about measurement technologies will give you insight into ways to enhance your team's workflow, reduce inspection time, and give you greater capability when tighter tolerances are demanded.

Because you invest a lot of time, money, and trust in your equipment, it’s worth knowing exactly what you’re getting. As professionals working alongside those in highly technical industries like manufacturing, aerospace, medical fields, and the energy sector, we know the importance of being able to rely on your machines to do the job to the utmost degree of quality. That’s why deciding on what to purchase in the first place can be daunting, especially when it’s an investment. If you’re looking for an industrial 3D scanner, there are several things to take into account. Whether you are seeking to rent or purchase your own industrial 3D scanner or work with us to create a scan or series of scans, we can tell you what you need to know about selecting the best scanner for your needs.
