A 3D scanner is a device that creates a digital, three-dimensional representation of real objects, people, or spaces. It works similarly to a regular scanner, which converts an image or document into a digital form, but in the case of a 3D scanner, a 3D model is created, which can then be printed using a 3D printer. That is why 3D scanners are devices that work great with 3D printers. Digital copies of scanned items allow you to create a real duplicate of the selected item in the form of a 3D print.
