# Face Scanning $40,000 FaceSCAN III Makes 3D Modeling Easy By Hobbyist | Published 2007-02-22 | Unique Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/facescan-iii-makes-3d-modeling-easy References: [gizmodo](http://gizmodo.com/gadgets/gadgets/facescan-iii-makes-3d-modeling-childs-play-237866.php) & [breuckmann](http://www.breuckmann.com/index.php?id=facescan-three&L=2#) Create a bust of your own head or start to ante up your [building's security](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/switchbot-lock-ultra-vision)... The FaceScan III is a hard core [3D scanner](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shining-3d) that's a pretty good example of where technology is headed. **Implications** - It is truly incredible how the faceSCAN III can produce a [three-dimensional model](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oneshot) without all the painstaking labor. After taking a series of photographs, the camera generates very lifelike replications. If you were hoping to grab one of these sweet machines for yourself, you might be saving up for a while since the faceSCAN II was sold for $40,000 and this new version will probably be priced around the same. It's the perfect creation for the lazy sculptor. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.0/10 - Popularity: 16% | Activity: 36% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Unique](https://www.trendhunter.com/unique) > [Inventions](https://www.trendhunter.com/inventions) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **3D Scanning:** The FaceSCAN III introduces an efficient 3D scanning technology that can benefit industries requiring precise modeling. - **Facial Recognition:** The development of the FaceSCAN III could lead to greater innovation in security systems that utilize facial recognition technology. - **Automated Modeling:** The FaceSCAN III signals a potential shift towards automated modeling processes across various industries. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Architecture:** The FaceSCAN III can aid architects in creating accurate 3D models for their designs, potentially disrupting traditional design processes. - **Sculpting:** The FaceSCAN III offers sculptors a new level of efficiency, potentially disrupting traditional sculpting techniques. - **Security:** The facial recognition capabilities of the FaceSCAN III can improve security systems across various industries, potentially disrupting the current state of security technology. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Affordable 3D Scanners](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/affordable-3d-scanners.md) - [Full Color 3D Scanners](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ascand-laser-scanner.md) - [Display-Equipped 3D Scanners](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/revopoint-miraco.md) - [Mobile 3D Scanning Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/realityscan.md) - [AI-Driven 3D Body Scanners](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/3d-body-scanner1.md) - [Hyper-Precise 3D Scanners](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/revopoint-range.md) - [Hyper-Accurate 3D Scanners](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hyperaccurate-3d-scanner.md) - [3D-Scanning Block Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ascand-for-lego-3d-scanner.md) - [3D Body Scanning Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/3d-body-scanning.md)
