In professional scenarios such as foot health, insole customization, and sports rehabilitation, the “foot shape 3D laser scanner” device appears more and more frequently.
It can quickly obtain 3D data such as foot length, foot width, arch height, and foot shape structure to help technicians achieve customized evaluation and design.
But many people have also raised questions: Do these high-tech devices have to be connected to the Internet to use? If there is no network, the site will be paralyzed?
Don’t worry, let’s talk about it today: Should the foot shape 3D laser scanner be connected to the Internet? When is the best time to connect to the Internet?
1. The foot shape 3D laser scanner can also measure offline!
Truth 1: The scan itself does not rely on the network
Most mainstream brands of 3D laser scanners perform scanning and acquisition locally. Even if the network is completely disconnected, the following steps can be completed:
3D image acquisition of foot shape
Local calculation of size parameters (such as foot length, foot width, arch height, etc.)
Data is saved to a local device or USB flash drive
In other words, as long as your device is turned on normally and the software runs well, you can complete a scan “offline”. This is very friendly to temporary scenes such as mobile service points, outdoor activities, and exhibition sites.
2. Networking can bring more “additional services”
Although it can be measured without networking, after networking, you can open the “hidden skills” of this device.
Data synchronization and cloud storage
After networking, the scanner can automatically upload data to the cloud platform or brand database to achieve:
Long-term data backup and loss prevention
Cross-device access (designers remotely view, retrieve and analyze)
Multiple scan record comparisons to track foot changes
AI analysis and intelligent recommendations
Many devices can access the intelligent algorithm engine of manufacturers or institutions when connected to the Internet to achieve more complex functions:
Foot type classification and insole template matching
Foot abnormality identification and risk reminder
Personalized product customization recommendations
These advanced functions often require remote servers to support calculations and cannot run offline.
Online service and shared collaboration
For chain stores or customized service agencies, networking can also bring:
Data synchronization between headquarters and branches
Customers scan the code to view the result report
Technicians and designers remotely connect to modify the plan
This type of “connected collaboration” cannot be achieved by traditional manual measurement.
