The uses of 3D imaging are extending rapidly to many industries that are leveraging the power of 3D software to greatly enhance their products. While 3D scanning technologies have typically been available as high-end industrial systems that are expensive and limited to specific objects they can scan, small and medium businesses need an affordable 3D scanning solution they can use in their manufacturing processes.
