Abstract: A 3D printing estimation apparatus includes a database storing 3D model data indicating a printing part and usage amount information of each material in one spraying process, a printing data generating part for generating 3D data of a printing object including the printing part and a support, an area splitting part for splitting the 3D data into at least one area, a material determining part for determining a type and a printing pattern of each material constituting each of the at least one area, and a material usage amount estimating part for determining a number of times each material is sprayed on the at least one area based on the determined type and the printing pattern of each material, and estimating a usage amount of each material to be printed the printing object based on the determined number of times and the usage amount information.

Abstract: Disclosed are a 3D scanning apparatus and a 3D scanning method. The 3D scanning apparatus includes a turntable which is rotatable at 360 degrees about a rotating shaft so that the target object is rotated; a 3D scanner configured to obtain 3D scan data of the target object by scanning the target object on the turntable; and a controller configured to control a rotating operation of the turntable and a scanning operation of the 3D scanner so as to rotate the turntable 360 at degrees, operate the 3D scanner to scan the target object at each of rotation angles of the turntable, and additionally measure the non-measured portion by distinguishing a non-measured portion of the target object.
