3D scanning<\/h2>\nThere are many different applications for 3D scanning, and many different approaches and solutions, depending on things like the environment you want to scan in, the size of the object, the material or type of object or scene, the end use and desired output. In this post, we are taking a look at the Sense2 3D scanner from 3D Systems<\/a>, and some of the use cases this particular device is perfect for.\n

The Sense2<\/h3>\nThe Sense2 3D scanner is the next generation of handheld scanners from 3D Systems. It contains an integrated RealSense\u2122 SR300 module<\/a>, enabling short range scanning combined with RGB texture data. While many other 3D scanning systems require specific large scale setups, or need a high powered PC to process the scan data, the SR300 in the Sense performs all the depth calculations on the device, allowing the Sense software to run just as effectively on a tablet as it does as a large PC.\n\nThe Sense is a handheld scanner, so being able to run the software on a tablet means that any size object can be easily scanned without needing to worry about or struggle with cable length. Since the device is easily portable but still offers full-color, high resolution 3D scanning, this opens new possibilities for smaller companies and more varied use cases.\n\n\"Sense2\n

Enriching lives<\/h3>\nOne common use case for the Sense 3D scanner is in the orthotics and prosthetics market. By using the 3D scanner, manufacturers can create patient focused custom fitted sockets for mass produced prosthetics. The combination of these two factors together allow for lower-cost custom prosthetics, crucial to the patient\u2019s well-being and comfort.\n\nA quick, easy to use 3D scan allows for potentially creating multiple custom sockets for the same prosthetic. Just as clothing fit can fluctuate from day today as we experience weight change or things like dehydration, prosthetic fit also changes over time and due to a wide variety of factors. Traditional methods of fit involve plaster casting of the affected limb, but this is both time consuming and inefficient. Because the Sense 3D software is easy to use, it\u2019s a quick process to scan the limb and create a water-tight 3D model that can then be used to print a 3D fitted socket.\n\nA second way the Sense 3D is enriching lives is in the creation of custom wheelchair seating \u2013 in one visit, a technician can go to a patient wherever they are and capture every measurement and piece of data necessary for a custom solution. The portability of the device means that the scan can be created wherever it is convenient for the patient, instead of requiring a trip to a facility to use large standalone scanners. It\u2019s also possible to pause a scan mid-way through, and resume after the person moves into a new position \u2013 something which could be crucial for patients with limited or restricted mobility. They don\u2019t need to stand inside a scanner, but could be scanned while seated or prone. The video below shows a quick example of pausing and repositioning a scanned item and how that might work.\n\n
