In recent years, with the improvement of data acquisition and transmission performance and the upgrading of computer computing power, the 3D vision technology known as the “eye of the machine” has been more and more used in the fields of robotics, intelligent manufacturing, and medical health. The market size Rapid expansion. According to the forecast of GGII, the Advanced Industry Research Institute, by 2025, the scale of my country’s 3D machine vision market will reach 10.435 billion yuan.
The performance of “SHINING 3D”, an important enterprise in the 3D vision industry, continues to grow. The company focuses on the field of high-precision 3D vision. According to its 2022 semi-annual report, SHINING 3D’s operating income in the first half of this year reached 348 million yuan, a year-on-year An increase of 33.80%. In 2022, SHINING 3D will be selected as a national specialized and new “little giant” enterprise. How many “technological innovation cards” does this well-recognized 3D vision company hold?
Focus on high-precision 3D vision technology research and development
The world that humans can perceive is three-dimensional, with rich colors, gloss, surfaces, materials and other appearance textures, as well as intricate internal structures and dynamic temporal and spatial relationships. The traditional two-dimensional vision technology is to map three-dimensional objects into two-dimensional images, so certain information will be lost.
The emergence of 3D vision technology has made up for the above shortcomings, and can directly recognize and process 3D objects. In recent years, due to its advantages of non-contact, high resolution and high measurement speed, the commercialization of 3D vision technology has achieved remarkable results.
Since its establishment, Shining 3D has focused on the research and development of high-precision 3D vision technology software and hardware, focusing on reducing data surface noise and improving the fineness of data details, and establishing 3D vision measurement accuracy standards to allow machines to see the “accurate” world.
This technology mainly refers to the rapid acquisition of high-fidelity 3D digital models of objects based on computer vision, and provides real, accurate and complete size, shape and color information based on the models, helping users break through the constraints of time and space and carry out digital design, simulation, manufacturing, testing, visual interaction, precise positioning and navigation of robots, so as to improve efficiency, enhance quality and reduce loss.
The continuous output of technological achievements is inseparable from the support of research and development investment. The financial report shows that SHINING 3D continues to maintain a relatively high R&D investment. The company’s total R&D investment in 2021 will exceed 130 million yuan, accounting for about 23.2% of revenue. In the first half of 2022, its R&D investment has exceeded 100 million yuan. At the same time, as of the end of June 2022, SHINING 3D has a total of 290 R&D personnel, accounting for about 35% of the total number of employees, and the number of doctors and masters accounts for about 37%. Vision, graphics, software, optics, mechanics, electronics, control and automation, materials science, stomatology and many other professional fields.
Through R&D and innovative practice, SHINING 3D has developed algorithms including structured light stereo matching and 3D reconstruction, 3D vision measurement and high-precision calibration algorithms, high-quality 3D data intelligent processing and design software, camera, projection system and other core device design, optical-mechanical-computer integration A number of core technical achievements have been accumulated in fields such as computerized control system design.
From the perspective of patents, according to PatSnap’s innovation evaluation platform, Shining 3D Technology Co., Ltd.’s scientific and technological innovation ability is rated as AA. As of the latest, the company currently has more than 440 patent applications, of which invention patents account for more than 65%, nearly 300. Further analysis of its technical layout shows that Shining 3D’s current patent applications mainly focus on 3D reconstruction, scanning systems, 3D measurement, image processing, projection equipment and other related fields.
Deep layout dental digitization and professional 3D scanning
After more than ten years of intensive cultivation, Shining 3D’s high-precision 3D vision technology is now mainly used in two major fields: dental digitization and professional 3D scanning (3D data modeling, 3D vision measurement and detection).
In the field of dental digitalization, according to the statistics of the 2019 “China’s Dental Industry Research Report from a Global Perspective” released by Medical Trends, the scale of China’s dental market is about 15.9 billion US dollars, accounting for about 6% of the global market and showing rapid development situation.
Shining 3D aims at market opportunities, and is committed to providing digital solutions such as dental visual consultation and restoration, orthodontics, and implants, which use intraoral 3D scanners and software as the entrance. According to the semi-annual report, SHINING 3D achieved impressive results in the revenue of dental digital business in the first half of the year, with revenue exceeding 222 million yuan, a year-on-year increase of 96.19%.
Specifically, take Shining 3D’s dental cloud platform as an example. This platform is an open and accessible digital dental ecological platform that can link upstream and downstream industries. Relying on the cloud computing and cloud application function modules of the Shining Dental Cloud Platform, elements such as the originally scattered workflow in the digital dental scene are integrated together, which helps the dental industry to achieve online diagnosis and treatment, doctor-patient communication, and medical technology communication The digital and intelligent upgrade of many types of medical scenarios, such as medical education and medical teaching, further improves the collaborative management level and operational efficiency of dental clinics and technical factories.
In the field of professional 3D scanning, its market size is also growing rapidly. According to relevant reports released by Markets and Markets, in 2017, China’s 3D digital market reached 3.38 billion yuan, accounting for about 13% of the world’s total. It is predicted that by 2023, the Chinese market will reach 6.344 billion yuan, with an average annual compound The growth rate reached 11.1%.
At present, in the field of professional 3D scanning, Shining 3D provides design and visual inspection for the automotive industry, aerospace, energy, heavy manufacturing, transportation, electronic appliances, cultural relics sculpture, medical health, film and television entertainment, virtual display, education and scientific research, etc. High-precision 3D digital solutions, the main products are handheld 3D scanners (mainly used for digital design, archiving, visual interaction), high-precision 3D visual inspection system (mainly used for 3D full-scale inspection), etc., to help users efficiently obtain high-quality Quality 3D data.
As one of the cutting-edge hard technology fields, 3D vision has a wide range of application scenarios. It is understood that Shining 3D will continue to deepen its application in the fields of dental digitization and professional 3D scanning in the future, and strive to achieve an important position in the world in terms of leading and uniqueness in the field of high-precision 3D vision technology. At the same time, it will also explore more Multiple application scenarios to achieve higher performance growth.
