Tech For Good | 3DeVOK 3D Human Body Scanning Technology Powers Customized Medical Solutions

The continuous advancement of technology has led to the increasingly profound application of 3D scanning in the medical field, providing robust support for precision medicine and personalized treatments. By utilizing 3D scanning technology to obtain accurate 3D data of the entire human body or specific body parts, we can design based on the acquired 3D data. Combined with 3D printing technology, we are able to offer patients more comfortable, precise, and personalized treatment plans, such as customized orthotics, braces, prosthetic sockets, and even bioprinted organs.

3DeVOK 3D Scanners: iReal 2E Color 3D Scanner and iReal M3 3D Laser Scanner

The iReal series scanners by the 3DeVOK brand, which include the iReal 2E and iReal M3 models, are both equipped with infrared VCSEL structured light technology. The speckle pattern scanning method is particularly suitable for scanning the human body and medium to large objects (objects 30cm or larger), offering powerful capabilities for acquiring 3D data in the medical field. This technology is driving the medical industry towards a digital, precise, and personalized future.

– iReal M3 Color 3D Scanner

The Differences Between These Two Scanners

iReal 2E：Equipped with three infrared VCSELs, it has stronger material adaptability, supports scanning in dark environments, and is suitable for environments with low light levels.

iReal M3：Featuring two light source modes—two infrared VCSELs and infrared 7 parallel laser lines—not only does it ensure scanning capability in dark environments, but the infrared parallel laser line also enables scanning of objects as small as 5 cm, fulfilling a wider range of scanning needs.

3DeVOK — Advantages of iReal Series 3D Scanners for Human Body Scanning

• Non-contact Scanning: Both scanners use infrared VCSEL structured light technology, which can quickly obtain high-precision 3D models without markers or touching the scanned person.
• Lightless Scanning: Avoid light radiation for an eye-safe and comfortable experience, ideal for individuals sensitive to light.
• Support Scanning in Dark Environments: Provide a better scanning experience for situations where patients need to scan their bodies.
• Wide Scanning Area and Depth: Both scanners have a large field of view (FoV), up to 580 mm x 550 mm, and a large scanning depth of field of 720mm. This design is more user-friendly and flexible, allowing for easy and smooth acquisition of human body data.
• 3D File Format Compatibility: The scan data obtained by iReal 2E and iReal M3 both supports the output of universal formats such as .obj, .stl, .asc, and can be seamlessly connected with various 3D modeling software, CAD software, 3D printers, etc., facilitating subsequent design and production.

Application Example: iReal 2E 3D Scanner Practice and Innovation In the Medical Field

Case Study 1: In the field of scoliosis correction, Zhongshan Chenxinghai Hospital utilized the precise 3D data captured by the iReal 2E, combined with 3D scanning and the TPM3D SLS (Selective Laser Sintering) 3D printing technology, to customize a lightweight, breathable, and comfortable brace for a patient. After a young girl was treated with this technology, her scoliosis angle was significantly reduced from 23.29 degrees to 10.57 degrees. This case demonstrates the potential of 3D technology in reshaping medical orthotic devices, promising to benefit more patients in the future.

Case Study 3: Blatchford Ortopedi AS (Norway, with over 155 orthopedic technology specialists) has successfully integrated the iReal 2E handheld 3D scanner into the manufacturing of orthotic assistive devices. Through the process of 3D scanning, modeling, design, and printing, they have achieved low-cost and rapid production of personalized orthotics, braces, and casts, providing patients with more accurate and comfortable treatment solutions.

Application Example: iReal M3 3D Scanner Practice and Innovation In the Medical Field

Case Study 1: The iReal M3 scanner, equipped with infrared dual-laser technology, combines non-contact, light-free scanning with high precision, offering reliable technical support for dental restoration design. It accurately captures dental tomography and intraoral scanning data, constructing high-precision 3D models that provide doctors with a more accurate basis for personalized dental treatment plans. This results in more precise and comfortable dental restorations.
