Handheld 3D Scanners
Handheld 3D scanners provide a flexible way to capture the shape, geometry, and colour of physical objects as digital 3D data. Unlike fixed scanning systems, handheld scanners can be moved around the subject, making them well suited to large, complex, irregular, or difficult-to-position objects.
Depending on the scanner, handheld 3D scanning can support applications including reverse engineering, product development, inspection, education, research, art and heritage digitization, and body scanning.
