3D Scanning Case Studies

Digital Animation at Middlebury College:
3D scanning of hand-made clay models with the HP 3D Structured Light Scanner Pro S3 enables animators to create digital animation characters with a human touch.
“With the arrival of the HP 3D Structured Light Scanner, finally we were able to begin with art first and wrestle with technology second.”

Use in Different Industries

​Learn how HP 3D Structured Light Scanner (formerly known as DAVID SLS 3D scanners) have been used in different industries and see what the users are saying. 

Medical Device Development

Rusty Hitch of Beckman Coulter needed precise 3D scans of existing medical equipment for prototyping research. Kinect-based systems were not up to the task, so Rusty turned to Growshapes.

 
 

Biomedical

Advanced Biologics was struggling to capture small bio-object data with more expensive 3D scanning systems. Growshapes provided a working solution at 1/3 the cost.

 
 
Automotive Reverse Engineering
This automotive engineering company  was able to successfully measure precise data of the small metal components, which was not possible with an Artec solution which costed this company 6 times as much as that of DAVID SLS 3D scanners.
