Notice of Seminar
Friday, February 21, 10:00 a.m. — We will be using 町田ひろ子 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 we introduce 3D scanning technology, we’ll share tips on how to use Scanat, focusing on techniques for capturing images.
Experience scanning together with everyone
We will be using 町田ひろ子 as our venue, where all participants will practice scanning together within the facility.
After scanning, our staff will review your images and provide advice.

What is 3DScan?
3D scanning technology refers to a system that uses devices (3D scanners) to measure the shapes and spatial characteristics of real-world objects, converting them into 3D data.
It allows for the capture 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 the display and zooming of objects and spaces from various angles, as well as the measurement of 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 driving are also common examples of 3D scanners.
The emergence of LiDAR scanners and their integration into iPhones and iPads
LiDAR has a long history; it is a technology that has been in use since the 1960s, when it was first mounted on aircraft to scan terrain. Since the 1980s, LiDAR has become even more widespread, and data collected from LiDAR scans can now be used to create 3D models.
Lidar sensors on the iPhone and iPad
In 2020, the inclusion of a LiDAR scanner in the iPhone 12 Pro made 3D scanning more accessible to everyone
3D scan data used in construction sites
###Although companies had considered adopting 3D scanning technology for scanning and sharing spaces, the need for specialized equipment meant it remained out of reach for many. 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 traditional surveying.
A Breakthrough Brought About by the Introduction of Scanat
Developed to support on-site survey work in fields such as architecture by utilizing the LiDAR sensor scanner built into the iPhone/iPadScanat has been developed by incorporating feedback from a wide range of users across Japan. It has earned high praise in field survey settings where scanning, saving, and measuring spaces is essential, and has been adopted by over 550 companies in the nearly three years since its release in 2022.
