structured light scanning

Structured light scanning is a technique used to create detailed 3D models of objects. It works by projecting a pattern of light (like grid lines or dots) onto the object’s surface. A camera then captures how this pattern distorts as it wraps around the object’s shape. Using sophisticated software, these distortions are analyzed to calculate the precise 3D shape and surface details. This method is fast, accurate, and commonly used in manufacturing, design, and reverse engineering to digitize physical objects into digital 3D representations.
