How the use of 3D scanners revolutionizes medicine

After the triumphant success of 3D printers, 3D scanners are now becoming popular in more and more branches. Especially in industry, science, art and health care, the new technology continues to prevail. What 3D scanners are and how this technique improves the medicine and especially the life quality of some patients, you will learn in this article.

3D printers are becoming increasingly popular. Whether in the mechanical engineering sector, in the packaging industry or in medical technology, the use of 3D-printers makes everyday work easier for many industries. But hardly anyone has heard of 3D scanners. With this new technology, a wide range of objects can be scanned within hours or even minutes, which has formerly taken days or even weeks.

3D scanners can be used to capture almost any object quickly and with astounding accuracy. This method allows medical technology to produce customized prostheses easily and quickly – from the new ear to a complete new face. The 3D scanner creates a high-resolution 3D model of an object in real-time with up to 16 images per second. After completing the 3D model, the cosmetic prosthesis is created by using a 3D printer.
