The system and method utilize three-dimensional (3D) scanning technology to create a database of profiles for good, product, object, or part information by producing object representations that permit rapid, highly-accurate object identification, matching, and obtaining information about the object, which is not afforded by traditional two-dimensional (2D) camera imaging. The profiles can compared to a profile of an unknown object to identify, match, or obtain information about the unknown object, and the profiles can be filtered to identify or match the profiles of known objects to identify and/or gather information about an unknown object.
