Take Scanning to a Whole New Dimension.

3D design software can be a real nightmare for newcomers, but there is another way to create detailed 3D designs for your 3D printer. 3D scanners use a field of optical beams to map the surface of an object and convert it into a digital 3D design file.

This allows you to duplicate existing objects, which is really handy for broken household appliances, where spare parts can be prohibitively expensive. You can also create a wooden or clay prototype and scan it to create an original 3D model.

Though 3D scanners are quite expensive at the moment, if you intend to use your 3D printer a lot, they may be worth the investment. We offer a great range of 3D scanners for sale in the UK, and we’re always happy to discuss your requirements.

So if you want to enjoy the mind-bending ability to duplicate almost any solid object, you may find that the combination of a 3D printer and a 3D scanner is just the thing for you.
