The 3D scanning industry has seen incredible changes over recent years, particularly in terms of the technology available. It is not long ago that scanning was seen as a specialist application, with equipment costing hundreds of thousands and requiring highly-skilled technicians to acquire any kind of usable data. In recent years, we have seen the advent of handheld scanning devices, primarily instigated by the introduction of the Handyscan3D in 2006, and lower accuracy scanners with low resolution becoming available for as little as £10,000.
