What is 3D imaging?

3D imaging refers to the projection of a 3-dimensional image onto a 2-dimensional surface. This creates an optical illusion of depth. A scanning machine, motion or still is used to take a 3-dimensional photo of a subject. This is then displayed on screen/display. 3D imaging refers to the transformation of 2D data into 3D format. This creates the illusion of depth. This process can be assisted by many technologies, which allow for the creation of a 3D rendering that can be used for testing and inspection purposes.

What’s 3D medical imaging used to do?

3D medical imaging is used in healthcare to aid doctors with complex surgeries. It allows them to access vital and difficult organs with ease and allows for pre-planning of operations using data visualization. The number of 3D imaging applications in the media and entertainment industries is also increasing. These factors will drive the global 3D imaging market’s growth over the forecast period.

Common industrial 3D imaging types:

3D Structured Lighting – Structured lighting is when a white or colored light is focused and picked up by a camera. The program then reads the object’s external features into a program that creates a surface based on polygons.

3D Laser Imaging – Also known as 3D Laser Scanning, 3D Laser Imaging is the process of collecting data using laser beams that are placed on the surface of an object. With the help of software, the data is converted into a 3D rendering.

CT imaging – Computed Tomography is a radiographic test technique that uses an xray source to penetrate materials. CT imaging captures 2D xray tomography slices at predetermined increments of an object rotating 360 degrees. Specialized software is used for constructing the 2D xray images of the object and creating a 3D rendering. This is then available for internal analysis.

3D x-ray imaging – 3Dxray is the capture of 2D x-ray images from different angles. These images can be used to reconstruct an object and create the illusion that it has depth. These 2D x-ray images can be viewed and analyzed separately to pinpoint specific areas.

Benefits of 3D imaging

3D imaging makes it possible to reproduce and analyze objects and parts in 3D. This allows for a wide range of quality control measures and gives you the ability to visualize the object digitally. These are the most popular benefits of 3D imaging:

Nondestructive 3D imaging techniques

Rapid and precise part results

Access to extensive analysis

Part consistency and reliability should be ensured

Quality control: A perspective

The high cost of 3D imaging software, and the lack of infrastructure to support different 3D imaging devices, will be a major factor that could hinder the growth of the global 3D Imaging market. The global 3D imaging market will see growth opportunities due to growing demand for virtual reality and the emergence of 4D technology within developing countries.
