The 3D Scanner is a device which is used to convert the physical data into digital data. 3D scanners digitize the photographic projection of an object, its shape, and its dimensions. 3D laser scanning developed during the last half of the 20th century in an attempt to accurately recreate the surfaces of various objects and places. The technology is especially helpful in fields of research and design. The 3D scanner plays important role in the areas of Virtual reality, Industrial design, Orthotics, Prosthetics, Games, Reverse Engineering, Art, Entertainment, Archaeology, Quality Control /Inspection, 3D mapping of underground environments, wood defect and specious detection This Paper is discussed about various 3D Scanners, there applications & Challenges in visualization of the above fields
