The application of 3D scanners in the furniture industry

The application of 3D scanners in the woodworking industry is mainly reflected in the following aspects:

1、 Woodworking carving and furniture manufacturing

Improve carving accuracy and efficiency:

In the field of woodworking carving, especially in furniture manufacturing, 3D scanners can achieve high-precision scanning of complex patterns and shapes. This helps to transform complex patterns traditionally carved by hand into digital models, which can then be automated through CNC engraving machines.

The data quality obtained by 3D scanners is high, and scanning software can convert point cloud data into STL data. Precision carving software can read and reconstruct rectangular mesh surfaces, achieving precision free processing.

Simplify the design and manufacturing process:

The accompanying relief processing software simplifies the scanning, modeling, and processing process of wood carving, allowing operators to operate and use it conveniently and quickly without further background knowledge and training.

3D scanners can digitize the entire process from copying to design and processing, improving production efficiency and product quality.

2、 Protection and Research of Wooden Carvings in Ancient Buildings

Accurately record wood carving information:

Wooden carvings of ancient buildings are living fossils that carry the memory of the city, and their protection and research are of great significance. 3D scanners can accurately record information such as size, pattern, color, texture, and texture of wood carvings, providing detailed and reliable basis for the protection and research of wood carvings.

Digital Protection and Inheritance:

Through 3D scanning technology, ancient architectural wood carvings can achieve maximum accuracy in recording, providing support for future database construction, digital protection, cultural and creative product development, and academic research.

3、 Wood processing and preparation

Wood defect detection:

In the wood processing industry, 3D scanners (such as SDC scanners) can utilize advanced image processing and deep learning techniques to automatically identify defects in wood, such as scars, mold, insect holes, etc., and mark them. This helps to improve the utilization and processing efficiency of wood.

Optimize wood utilization:

3D scanners can produce wood based on its quality grade, using length, area, and quality as principles to achieve optimal utilization of wood. At the same time, the automatic surface selection function can automatically select a higher grade surface for processing based on the scanning results of both sides of the wood.

4、 Other applications

Customized services:

3D scanners can also be used to provide customized woodworking products or services to customers. For example, customers can convert their designs or ideas into digital models through 3D scanning technology, and then hand them over to carpenters for processing and production.

Education and Training:

In the field of woodworking education, 3D scanners can be used for teaching and training. Students can learn the skills and methods of woodworking carving and furniture manufacturing by scanning physical objects, while also conducting virtual simulations and practical operations through digital models.

In summary, the application of 3D scanners in the woodworking industry is extensive and profound, not only improving production efficiency and product quality, but also providing strong support for the protection and research of wood carving, the optimization and utilization of wood, and customized services.
