A 3D Scanner is a device used to analyze and collect data on real-world objects which can be used to make 3D models. It works by creating a point cloud that replicates the surface of the object under scan. The point cloud is reconstructed into to a 3D CAD model by the 3D Scanning software. The most widely known 3D Scanners are 3D Laser Scanners which uses a laser and a sensor to collect 3D data. 3D Scanners are now used in a variety of industries, including medicine, video game, animation, reverse engineering, digital modeling and rapid prototyping.

Types
There are two types of 3D Scanners: Contact & Non-contact. Contact type 3D Scanners work in physical contact with the scanning object while non-contact type 3D Scanners are to be placed at a certain distance from the scanning object. Non-contact 3D Scanners can be further divided into two types: active and passive scanners. Active scanners work by projecting a laser or some other radiation onto the scanning object and detecting its reflection. Passive scanners work by detecting reflected ambient radiation.http://www.gisdevelopment.net/magazine/global/2007/september/51_1.htm
