Seminar Announcement
Friday, February 21, 10:00 a.m. – 町田ひろ子 We will be using the Academy’s venue to conduct a hands-on scanning session with all participants within the facility. After the scanning session, our staff will review the images you captured and provide advice.
Here are some tips for 3D scanning.
As you begin using 3D scanning technology, we’ll share tips—with a focus on how to operate the scanner—to help you get the most out ofScanat .

What is 3DScan?
3D scanning technology refers to a mechanism that uses a device (a 3D scanner) to measure the shapes and spaces of real-world three-dimensional objects and convert them into 3D data.
It allows for the acquisition of shapes and measurements without physically touching the object.
By capturing the shapes of various objects—such as terrain, buildings, vehicles, and cultural properties—it enables users to view objects and spaces from various angles, zoom in and out, and measure dimensions. History of 3D Scanners
What Is a 3D Scanner?
A 3D scanner projects light—such as laser or LED beams—onto an object, captures the time difference and angle of reflection with a camera, and calculates the data to acquire the object’s surface topography as 3D data.
It is characterized by few restrictions based on weight, size, or material, and the ability to quickly convert complex shapes into 3D data.
Facial recognition features on smartphones and LiDAR sensors used in autonomous vehicles are also common examples of 3D scanners.
The Introduction of LiDAR Scanners and Their Integration into the iPhone and iPad
LiDAR has a long history; it is a technology that has been in use since the 1960s, when it was first mounted on airplanes to scan terrain. Since the 1980s, LiDAR has become even more widespread, and data collected from LiDAR scans can now be used to build 3D models.
Lidar Sensors in iPhones and iPads
In 2020, the inclusion of a LiDAR scanner in the iPhone 12 Pro made 3D scanners more accessible to the general public.
3D Scan Data Used in Construction Sites
###Although companies considered adopting 3D scanning technology—which scans spaces and enables data sharing—it remained out of reach for many due to the need for specialized equipment. Furthermore, general-purpose scanners were primarily used for measuring the shapes of terrain (in civil engineering) and large structures (in architecture) as an extension of surveying.
ScanatA Breakthrough Brought About by Its Introduction
Developed to support on-site surveys in fields such as construction by utilizing the LiDAR sensor scanner built into iPhones and iPads,Scanat By incorporating feedback from a wide range of users across Japan during its development, the product has earned high praise at sites where scanning, saving, and measuring spaces are necessary for on-site surveys and other tasks. Since its release in 2022, it has been adopted by over 550 companies in just under three years.
Organizer Information
natThe company plans, develops, and provides an AI surveying app for smartphones that utilizes LiDAR sensors—a service designed to solve challenges related to the digitization of spaces and objectsScanat that addresses the challenges of digitizing spaces and objects.
Through tools and platforms that allow anyone to easily share reality (3D)—including “spaces” and “objects”—we support increased productivity and the unleashing of creativity.
By creating products that transform daily work and life and implementing them in society, we aim to become an indispensable part of people’s lives and help realize a safe, secure, and prosperous society.
