Structured-light 3D scanner

A structured-light 3D scanner is a 3D scanning device for measuring the three-dimensional shape of an object using projected light patterns and a camera system.

The light source from the scanner head projects a series of parallel patterns onto the scan target. When light projects onto the object's surface, the patterns become distorted. The cameras capture these images and send them to the 3D scanning software for processing.
