5 Myths about 3D Scanning

In this video we explore the top 5 most common myths when it comes to 3D scanners and 3D scanning. EMS, Inc has been involved in the 3D scanning, reverse engineering and inspection industry since 2001 and we have talked with thousands of people through the years. There are some very common myths we have discovered in those conversations we thought we would share in this video.

It is all so true. Thank you for explaining all this to the audience.

Really great overview of some caveats in the space. Thanks for the detailed rundown.

[@EMS3D]

Glad you liked it!

After watching many videos on scanners and the process, I can say that if I have to buy or get any help related to scanning, your team would be the first choice.

[@EMS3D]

Thanks. We appreciate your comments.

If your mesh is accurate enough it should be good for resin 3D print to investment casting, CNC routing, and other more "artistic" pursuits. Of course building accurate models will generally take humans doing real work in CAD, and ideally some tools to allow taking dimensions off the point cloud / mesh.

[@EMS3D]

Most CNC machines can't work with STL files. Some CNC routers do but mostly for organic work like statues. If you are reverse engineering mechanical parts you need to go to CAD first.

Doing great job, keep it up

[@EMS3D]

Thanks, will do!

[@sebastianberber3100]

Good information.

[@digital0785]

the only thing I'll disagree with is price.. yes the pricing IS going up but thats also because specs are getting better.. if you're looking at same specs that price is falling. however if you're looking for bleeding edge/ certain use cases will ALWAYS go up just because technology always is advancing :) granted this was from 4 years ago.. so A LOT has changed in that time from a pricing standpoint haha

[@EMS3D]

Yes the older technology is more affordable but at the same time the cost of components and manufacturing of the 3D scanners continues to increase. Also when you get into ISO certified systems they also tend to be more expensive because of the added to cost to certify.

For software to cad try Fusion 360. Mesh to body.

[@cloud-forge]

mesh to body won't make the model any different. It will turn the faces and triangles into object, but it will still be the same nasty mesh behind.
