## 1 Introduction
[16] again combined laser scanning and a non-contact ultrasonic tool to detect the external geometry and internal material structure of carbon-fiber-reinforced polymers (CFRPs). It was a unique way of digitizing the geometry and acquiring the material structure; however, they could not properly address the dimensional error that arose during 3D scanning. [PERSON] and [PERSON] [17] integrated reverse engineering, non-destructive inspections, and FEA to redefine a shaft when its blueprints were unavailable. [PERSON]' [PERSON] and [PERSON] [18] applied 3D scanning methodology to improve the ergonomic aspect of footwear. Three-dimensional scanning has already proven itself to be very effective at digitizing objects. The footwear dimensions were accurately measured with sufficient precision using 3D scanning. [PERSON] and [PERSON] [19] employed 3D scanning technology in the medical field to digitize bodily information. The research on 3D scanning in the medical field is perpetually being enhanced. Three-dimensional scanning is also being utilized in prosthetics and implantation. It also effectively scans the exterior body parts of patients in 3D form. Thanks to 3D scanning technology, medical practitioners may efficiently and effectively expedite the treatment process for dangerous diseases. The same authors also identified the eight steps methodology [20], which initiates with the diagnosis of an issue in a patient and ends with a proper surgery. In addition, [PERSON] [21] explored the potential of 3D scanning technology to deeply examine defect areas in stone. Three-dimensional scanning can also be employed for the effective identification of flake mass. [PERSON] et al. [22] identified 3D scanning technology as a non-contact technology that can likely enhance the performance of medical staff and the satisfaction of patients. [PERSON] et al. [23] worked on the reflection issue in 3D scanning for 3D objects used in the automotive industry. Although the authors fixed the issue by spraying the object surfaces with a particle coating, scanned data with proper surface details and precise and accurate dimensional analyses were not addressed appropriately. [PERSON] et al. [24] utilized CAD/CAM systems in the footwear industry to save time and money without compromising the quality and production of shoe manufacturing. The authors applied the simulation features of CAD/CAM systems, which are based on 3D geometric modelling, to possible errors prior to the production of shoes. [PERSON] et al. [25] performed a detailed 3D scanning study which deliberately focused on dimensional errors of the human body. Human body scanning was considered for helping textile industries with respect to introducing rapid alterations in body size to their production efforts. Different parts of the body remained under consideration for the investigation of any difference between their manual and digital dimensions. In their another study, [PERSON] et al. [26] used a 3D slit laser scanner for reverse engineering (RE). Although laser scanners are comparatively slower when compared with structured light scanners, the precision and accuracy of laser scanners are usually considered higher. This was, again, not verified in this study. [PERSON] et al. [27] extended their study of 3D scanning to develop low-cost scanning techniques other than structured light and laser scanners. It could have been a brilliant idea to compare the 3D scanning results from both structured light and laser scanners. [PERSON] et al. [28] explained the steps that are essential in the accurate digitization of archaeological teeth for their successful restoration. These steps mainly included computed micro tomography, the creation of a 3D digital model using reverse engineering, rapid prototyping, and painting where appropriate. [PERSON]' et al. [29] described another role of 3D scanning which could revolutionize the whole digital manufacturing world, applying scanning techniques to the inspection of manufactured parts in material cutting processes.
