3D body scanning captures the shape and geometry of the human body as digital 3D data. This can support applications ranging from custom product development and digital modeling to education, research, art, and body measurement workflows.
Handheld 3D scanners with appropriate scanning modes can capture people without physical contact, making them useful for applications where traditional measurement methods are inconvenient or where a complete digital representation is required.
Common Applications
- Full-body 3D scanning
- Head and face scanning
- Custom product and wearable design
- Digital avatars and models
- Education and research
- Ergonomic studies
- Costume and apparel development
- Art and creative projects
- Body measurement and documentation
- Orthotic and prosthetic development support
Scanner selection depends on the intended application, required accuracy, subject size, colour requirements, and whether the workflow requires portable or computer-connected operation.
