3D Scanning Market

Market Overview:

The global 3D scanning market size reached US$ 6.2 Billion in 2022. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 10.5 Billion by 2028, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 8.55% during 2023-2028.

3D scanning aids in digitally recreating information about physical components in a simulated world with accurate dimensions by gathering raw data as point cloud information and converting them into computer-aided design (CAD). It enables the complete product form to be checked with the initial CAD template and finds immediate variations with the data shown on a color map with a 3D variance. As a result, it is employed in the automotive, aerospace, and manufacturing industries worldwide. 3D scanning is also utilized by design engineers and technologists to accelerate decision-making in product creation or preparation of plant construction and operations.

3D Scanning Market Trends:

Rising advancements in 3D scanning technology represent one of the key factors impelling the growth of the market. Moreover, medical practitioners conventionally measure body shape and size by hand or devices to diagnose health status and decide treatment. However, 3D scanning technology helps capture 3D measurements without physical contact and consequently finds extensive applications in the healthcare industry. It helps produce medical devices, such as custom-made prosthetics, precise surgical blades, braces, implants, and wheelchairs. This technology is compatible with computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), which can be used to enhance patient treatment. Apart from this, 3D scanning technology is utilized in the education sector as it encourages interaction and allows students to experiment with modeling core disciplinary topics from the life sciences, including topography, body processes, and molecules. In addition, 3D scanners measure the finest detail of an object, capture free-form, and create precise cloud points for complex geometry and circular surface objects. This, coupled with the burgeoning media and entertainment industry, is strengthening the growth of the market.
