Low-Cost, High Accuracy 3D Scanning

3D扫描可快速测量、数字化和测量实物，其好处包括降低处理成本和创建高价值的个性化服务。应用领域包括医药、建筑、房地产、法医、保险、设计、建筑、娱乐和文化保护。3D打印的进步意味着，个性化的硬件可以使用低成本的机器在现场快速且廉价地制造出来。这就产生了对性能和价格水平相同的扫描系统的需求。3D扫描市场预计将从2013年的20.6亿美元增长到2018年的40.8亿美元。制造业、航空航天和国防将占据最大的市场份额，汽车、运输和零售也将出现显著增长。Cadcan的3D扫描仪将改变部分市场，在降低价格的同时增加销量。这可能会在医疗、法医、设计、建筑和文化保护领域产生最大的影响。这些扫描仪将创造新的市场，并改变现有的市场。由于细分市场将需要产品定制以满足不同的应用要求，因此Cadcan在未来五年只能实际地解决总市场机会的一部分。为了有效地利用颠覆性能力，Cadcan需要这些新兴市场的市场情报；他们的产品和应用要求；吸引力和进入容易程度的排名；以及对公司带来的令人信服的‘价值主张’的清晰理解。这些知识将有助于指导产品开发和开发创新的营销方案，以利用这些快速崛起的市场机会。

3D scanning quickly measures, digitises and surveys physical objects with benefits includingprocess cost reduction and the creation of high-value personalised services. Applicationsinclude medicine, construction, real estate, forensics, insurance, design, architecture,entertainment and cultural preservation. Advances in 3D printing mean that personalisedhardware can be manufactured quickly and cheaply on-site using low-cost machinery. This iscreating demand for scanning systems at the same performance and price level. The 3Dscanning market is estimated to grow from $2.06b in 2013 to $4.08b by 2018. Manufacturing,aerospace and defence will have the largest market share, with automotive, transportation, andretail also showing significant growth.Cadscan's 3D scanners will transform sections of the market, reducing prices while increasingvolumes. This is likely to have the biggest impact in the medical, forensics, design,architecture, and cultural preservation sectors. These scanners will create new markets as wellas changing existing ones. Because market segments will require product customisation tomeet diverse application requirements, Cadscan will only be able to realistically address asubset of the total market opportunities over the next five years. In order to effectively exploitits disruptive capabilities Cadscan needs market intelligence on these emerging markets; theirproduct & application requirements; a ranking in order of attractiveness & ease of entry; and aclear understanding of the compelling ‘value proposition’ that the company brings. Thisknowledge will help to guide product development and develop innovative marketingprogrammes to exploit these rapidly emerging market opportunities.
