FAQ
What is 3D scanning, and how does it work?
3D Scanning is a technology that captures the exact shape and details of your body to create a digital 3D model. The scanner takes thousands of images from different angles to map the shape of your body. Unlike traditional photos, 3D scanning focuses only on the structure and contours; it does not capture color or texture.
