01丨Traditional 3D scanning

3D scanning converts the three-dimensional shape, structure, and color of an object into digital signals, which provides a convenient and fast way to digitize physical objects. The significance of 3D scanning lies in its ability to transform 3D information into digital signals that computers can directly process, providing a fast and efficient way to digitize physical objects. The principle of 3D scanning can be compared to the principle of taking a photograph with a camera. The difference between the two is that cameras capture color information, while 3D scanners capture positional information. The image taken by a camera is composed of many pixel points, while the point cloud generated by a scanner is composed of many coordinate points.

02丨Simple Medical’s 3D scanning

3D scanning digital technology is a newly emerged type of algorithm: Based on the principle of depth cameras and structured light methods, different beams form points, lines, gratings, surface structures, and infrared lights, and the position relationship and degree of structural light deformation between spatial projection sources form a three-dimensional data model. Currently, many hand-held 3D scanners have been launched, but their prices are very expensive and the devices are too large and not convenient to operate. Currently, we have conducted deep cooperation with the software development team of Tsinghua University, and using the hardware equipped with depth cameras on iPhone X and above, which supports 3D scanning, we have developed a new type of space data algorithm that can achieve high-accuracy model data collection within a 1.5mm range. A complete 3D scanning software has been developed and is now in the testing stage, and it will soon be put into practical use. This software can currently non-contactively scan the head, chest, hip, upper body, elbows, hands, knees, and feet, achieving accurate scanning models and collecting real-time data slices to provide real-time image data for later recovery medical support devices. After processing the data slice model in the later stage, modeling is completed, and real-time guard models are printed, adhered to the corresponding accessories, and assembled into final personal custom guards. This technology has made new strides in 3D digital medical technology and has brought new opportunities for progress.

02—3D scanning data acquisition

During data collection, patients are required to change into tight-fitting clothing and place their hands flat on two bars, gripping them tightly, for scanning data collection. The intelligent software, SIMPLE 3D, is used to scan and automatically generate a 3D model.
