Use cases and workflows
3D scanning can be used in a number of applications including part inspection, reverse engineering, digitizing, copying an object or simply just scanning to share. Below you find our use cases and workflows and which of our 3D scanners that is the best choice for you tasks.
Workflows
Read more about the workflows below and see which 3D scanner to choose

INSPECT
By scanning and then exporting your model to your CAD or 3D inspection software, you can compare it or measure it to ensure that tolerances are met or that your model is an exact copy.

MODEL
Scan Dimension 3D scanners help jump-start your modeling by giving you accurately sized replica objects. Then, these can then be incorporated into your project, or used as a reference object. Choose the scanner that fits your need for accuracy.

3D PRINT
Reproducing an object can be time-consuming, tedious, and error-prone. The SOL and SOL PRO 3D scanners and software allows you to create a replica of objects easily. Using your preferred printing software, easily scale your scans up or down.

SHARE
In the past, sharing a 3D representation of something has been challenging. The Scan Dimension 3D scanners and software make it easy to share to Sketchfab with just one click.
