What is 3D Laser Scanning?

In this episode, we dive into the fascinating world of 3D laser scanning. This is a revolutionary technology that’s transforming industries from construction and architecture to healthcare, archaeology, and entertainment. Whether you’re an engineer, homeowner, designer, or tech enthusiast, this episode offers a comprehensive guide to understanding how 3D scanning works, the benefits it brings, and how to choose the right tools for your project.

We explore how high-definition scanners use laser beams to capture the dimensions, positions, and shapes of real-world objects with incredible accuracy. Learn how point clouds, digital twins, and BIM (Building Information Modeling) workflows are built from scanned data, allowing professionals to visualize and optimize their work like never before.

You’ll hear real-world applications across a wide range of fields, including:

Construction and architecture

Manufacturing and industrial design

Cultural heritage preservation

Crime scene investigation

Environmental monitoring

Medical and dental applications

Robotics, entertainment, and more

We also break down the types of scanning devices: TLS (Terrestrial Laser Scanners), mobile scanners, handheld units, and even smartphones. Explain the difference between LiDAR and SLAM technologies.
