3D Scanning Why

3D Scanning is a "Time Compression" Technology that can be a huge value
proposition in many industries and applications:

> Quality Control / Inspection
... Comparison to CAD data
... Boundary/edge extraction (measurement of sheetmetal parts)
... Serial inspection in production(manual/automated)

> Mold and Toolmaking
... Tool reconstruction
... Generation of milling tool parts
... Documentation of actual 3D data at tool release

> Digital Archiving
... Digital archiving of exisiting physical legacy parts
... Scanning of art/historical objects, archaeology
... Digital art authentication and conservation studies

> Rapid Manufacturing
... Acquisition of 3D data for Rapid Prototyping

> Design and Reverse Engineering
... Scanning of design models for further processing of CAD data and documentation
... Design ideation
