3D scanning is important because the ability to digitize awkward or troublesome shapes from the real world can really hit the spot. One can reconstruct objects by drawing them up in CAD, but when ...

North America holds the lion’s share of the global 3D scanner market, driven by increasing deployment in manufacturing, architecture, and construction industries. Asia Pacific is projected to be the ...

With built-in computing, all you need is a web browser to access the controls of this portable 3D scanner, and I love the ...

In this interview, Martin Schuster of Laser Design, Inc. talks about how replacing traditional QA systems with 3D scanning can streamline processes and reduce time-to-market. Can you give us a brief ...

ThreeRivers 3D, a manufacturer of standard and custom 3D imaging systems, has introduced the LC-2-MACRO, a scanner optimized for 3D scanning of small parts such as dental molds. The LC-2-MACRO has 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 ...

Let’s explore how Hexagon’s handheld 3D scanning technology allows for metrology-grade parts scanning, allowing for the digitalization of parts without the concern of fixturing or environmental ...

The pandemic forced stakeholders to recognize the importance of adapting and incorporating innovative, particularly in relation to cost savings and efficiency. One of the technologies used to mitigate ...

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 ...

The world is being mapped in 3D — one brick, one bench, one building at a time. For things like hyper-accurate augmented reality, autonomous robots and self-driving cars, 2D maps and GPS only get you ...

Like most Americans, my weight is a cause for concern. After having children and hitting age 30, it has become increasingly difficult to maintain a healthy weight. I’m not the only one facing this ...

James has been writing about technology for years but has loved it since the early 90s. While his main areas of expertise are maker tools -- 3D printers, vinyl cutters, paper printers, and laser ...
