SHINING 3D, based in Hangzhou, is placing itself in the top tier of the global 3D vision industry with high-precision 3D scanning powered by artificial intelligence. Its 3D scanning products can reach a maximum measurement accuracy of 4 microns, about one tenth the diameter of a human hair.
Micron-level precision
What does 4 microns mean? It is like dividing the diameter of a single human hair into ten parts and taking one of them. It is precisely this micron-level accuracy that allows 3D scanning to handle tasks with extremely demanding detail, from the fine modeling of a single tooth to the detection of surface defects on industrial parts.
In practice, the company's technology already spans several fields: tooth scanning in dental care, surface-defect inspection of commercial aircraft in civil aviation, and 3D modeling and documentation of artifacts in archaeology. Automotive, energy, civil aviation and dental are all industries it serves.
Reaching overseas markets
SHINING 3D's products have been exported to more than 100 countries and regions, and international sales account for up to 70 percent of its total revenue. In other words, much of this Chinese company's growth rests on global markets.
From dental clinics to aircraft hangars to archaeological sites, 3D scanning is turning the physical world into precise digital models. For SHINING 3D, how to keep expanding applications while holding on to its accuracy advantage will decide how far it can go in this field.
