3d-scanning

3D Scanning

3D scanning is an advanced technology that accurately captures the shape, dimensions, and details of physical objects or spaces using laser beams, structured light, or photogrammetry. This technology enables the creation of highly detailed digital 3D models that represent every surface and feature of the scanned subject, whether it’s an entire building, a room, a mechanical part, or a complex structure.
