A 3D scanner is a device that helps analyze a real-world object and its environment to collect data about its shape, color and appearance. The hardware collects digital information and creates a point cloud, while the software converts the point cloud created by the hardware into a digital 3D object representation with high accuracy. 4, record 1, English, - 3D%20scanner

Principe général de fonctionnement d’un numériseur 3D. À partir d’une position donnée par rapport à l’objet à numériser, l’appareil envoie un faisceau laser de faible intensité sur une section de la surface de l’objet. Chaque point de la surface touchée par le faisceau laser est capté par une caméra intégrée au numériseur et les coordonnées X, Y, Z ainsi que l’intensité de chacun de ces points sont enregistrées dans la mémoire de l’ordinateur qui contrôle le numériseur. 7, record 1, French, - num%C3%A9riseur%203D
