While 3D printers are gradually becoming more popular, their possibilities are limited if you lack the skills to create custom 3D models. This has led to a surge in the development of user-friendly 3D ...

Computer models are typically created by specialists using dedicated CAD software or animation packages. The more detailed the object, the more time and experience it takes to make it. One shortcut ...

There are multiple apps that use the iPhone to perform 3D scanning of objects, but most of them require a LiDAR scanner (distance measuring sensor) and cannot be used on models that do not have a ...

It requires significant effort to create 3D models from scratch. Fortunately, 3D scanners have greatly expedited this process, saving valuable time and energy that would otherwise be spent on manual ...

3D laser-scanning is nothing new, but a group of physicists at Heriot-Watt University in Scotland have just announced some notable improvements to the technology. The researchers have developed a new ...

FARO® introduced the FARO Freestyle3D Objects handheld 3D scanner for forensic scene capture and documentation. The Freestyle3D Objects is the third product in FARO’s popular Freestyle family of ...

Digital tools allow archaeologists to identify similarities between fragments and artifacts and potentially recover previously unknown parts of their stories.

Undeniably fun: Now one new additive-manufacturing printer scans objects and makes copies on the fly. Announced late last week at South by Southwest, MakerBot's Digitizer Desktop 3D Scanner turns ...

The handheld Scio scanner can detect the molecular makeup of certain objects A couple weeks ago I had a fascinating video call with a gentleman named Dror Sharon, the CEO of a company called Consumer ...

Presenting the 2nd prize winner in the TI LDC1000 inductive sensor design contest. My original idea was to use the LDC1000 to sense the liquid level in a low cost resin style 3D printer, but after ...

There’s plenty of different methods to build a 3D scanner, with photogrammetry being a particularly accessible way to do it. This involves taking a series of photos from different angles to build up ...
