A scanning device is a device used to capture images and convert them into digital format. These devices can be used in various ways for various applications, such as document scanning, image editing, and computer-aided design (CAD).
Some examples of scanning devices include flatbed scanners, drum scanners, and 3D scanners. A flatbed scanner is a device that places documents on their glass surface to capture images. These scanners are typically used to scan photos and documents. Drum scanner is a device that rolls documents through a photosensitive drum to capture images. These scanners are typically used to scan longer documents such as newspaper articles and books. A 3D scanner is a device used to capture surface details of three-dimensional objects, which can be used for digital modeling and computer-aided design (CAD).
Scanning devices can be used for various applications, such as document digitization, image editing, and computer-aided design (CAD). They can be found in various environments such as offices, graphic design studios, and manufacturing facilities.
