1. A wireless scanning device for providing data for a 3D-model of an object, comprising:
a scanning housing, comprising:
an image detector configured for acquiring 2D-images at a first 2D-frame-rate;
one or more processor(s) coupled to the image detector such that the 2D-images can be processed by said processor(s) to form processed data;
a wireless module being coupled to said processor(s) such that the wireless module receives the processed data from said processor(s) and wirelessly transmits the processed data,
wherein the processed data is the data for a 3D-model of the object, wherein the scanning device is configured for being switched between two pre-defined scanning-operation-modes:
a standard-mode, wherein the wireless module receives the processed data at a first data-rate defined by said processor(s); and
a non-standard-mode, wherein the wireless module is prevented from receiving some of the 2D-images acquired by the image detector, and thus receives the processed data at a second data-rate defined by said processor(s),
wherein the second data-rate is lower than the first data-rate,
wherein the non-standard-mode is provided by shutting off the image detector for a specific time, whereby the second data-rate gets lower than the first data-rate, thereby defining the non-standard-mode as a wireless-throttling-mode.
