3D Scanners Market Scope
3D scanning is the process of capturing digital information about the silhouette of an object. It records the exact size and shape of the object as a three-dimensional representation in the computer. Increasing applications of 3D scanning technology in retail, healthcare, construction, and others guide the market growth. For instance, Davis scientist from the University of California has developed a scanner capable of producing 3D images of the entire human body at once in partnership with Shanghai-based United Imaging Healthcare (UIH). Further, increasing demand for 3D Metrology and Structured-light 3D scanners expected to drive the market over the forecasted period
According to AMA, the Global 3D Scanners market is expected to see growth rate of 9.41%
