Here are a three different intersections of 3D scanning, 3D printing, and CAD along with a few words on how well each can be expected to work.

A 3D laser scanning microscopy method requiring no moving parts promises to expand the in vivo study of fast neuronal signaling at cellular and subcellular levels.

Limitations 3D scanning is in general still not a foolproof, point-and-shoot process. As with photography, there is both a skill and an art to getting the best results.

Transforming an Xbox Kinect into a 3D scanner provides an affordable entry into 3D scanning technology. The Kinect’s sensors, originally designed for gaming, can adeptly track body movements for ...

Use a scanning spray for shiny and dark objects 3D scanners rely on structured light to capture the data of an object. For reflective surfaces, they tend to bounce light, while dark surfaces ...

Chris Heinrich, Polycam’s co-founder and CEO, says that the capital will support new 3D editing and collaboration features, training AI models for rendering 3D objects and new market expansion.

3D scanning, like most 3D tech, is booming. Technavio, a research firm, published the Global 3D Scanner Market 2018-2022 report recently, and it shows that the global market today stands at a ...

When Irrational Games needed to create a distinctive look to promote the female lead in the video game "BioShock Infinite," it looked to 3D scanning rather than traditional modeling software. The ...
