White light digital scanning is, in a nut shell, simply taking
a digital "photo" scan of an object for the purpose of creating 3D electronic data. The digital "photo"
scan is gathered as a series of points, or a point cloud, and arranged in the shape of the object being scanned. Since
this type of digitizing is non-contact, a much broader range of items may be inspected. For a more in depth definition, click here.
