Market Revenue 3D Scanning Market Overview and Scope | Page 2

Product Insights
On the basis of product type, the 3D scanning market can be classified as the optical scanners, lasers, and
structured light. In 2013, laser scanners occupied the majority of market. Nevertheless, the structured light and
optical product segments are projected to gain market share at the fastest pace from 2014 to 2020. 3D scanners
are used for quality control checks, reverse engineering purposes and rapid prototyping. Additionally, to ensure
precise specifications and accuracy, 3D scanning also provides speedy quality inspection.
Range Insights
3D scanners are categorised into short range, medium range, and long range scanners on the basis of range and
distance. In 2013, short range scanners emerged as the industry leader and it is expected to continue a similar
trend throughout the forecast period. Structured light and laser triangulation methods, that have a very less
focal distance, are employed by these scanners. Medium range scanners are anticipated to capture market share
over the forecast period.

Application Insights
Several industries confront challenges in terms of safety, cost and schedule which usually stem out of control
due to inadequate and erroneous dimensional procedures. In the manufacturing and engineering sector, and
3D scanning plays a vital role as a part of quality assessment and control systems. They help in reducing risks,
especially in fields where energy concentration is high, location access is expensive and fabrication methods and
modular design techniques are deployed thereby driving market growth from 2014 to 2020.
Introduction of portable scanners have spurred demand for the 3D scanning market thereby gaining popularity
for architecture applications. These products are widely used in archaeology as they preserve and archive many
architectural pieces from museums. Utilization of 3D scanning systems offer an environment of historic times
by effectively setting up virtual museums by scanning for virtual museums online or on-site and representing
art pieces for multimedia presentations. Techniques such as reverse engineering that are based on virtual
restoration is also anticipated to accelerate product acceptance across the architecture sector. In addition, rising
demand for media and entertainment is observed to boost 3D scanning market.
