3D scanning is very much related to 3D printing, as it can provide quality and accurate STL files, which is crucial in 3D printing. It can also reveal any deformations that are visible during the scan, as it can show where reinforcement is needed in the model. There is already a wide range of options for using scanners and similar products, but choosing the right 3D scanner is crucial, as there is a huge range of desktop scanners, handheld models, laser and light technology.
