3D scanners are getting better at creating 3D models of real-world objects, but consumer-grade devices tend to only handle small items, or scan with a low resolution. Now, German research institute ...

Infrared 3D scanners have been used in video games for quite some time. Whereas in video games the scanners are, for example, only able to identify if a player throws his arms up in the air while ...

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 ...

The concept of a 3D scanner can seem rather simple in theory: simply point a camera at the physical object you wish to scan in, rotate around the object to capture all angles and stitch it together ...

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 ...

If we've crossed paths in the past week, there's a pretty good chance I've scanned you. This extends well beyond the human race, into the realms of animal, vegetable, plush toy and fruit bowl. Some ...

Chalk it up to a misspent youth watching movies like Tron and The Lawnmower Man if you want, but the concept of scanning real people into the digital world still seems excitingly futuristic. Over the ...

Let's start with the cheaper of the two with the original Raptor. This world's first hybrid blue laser & NIR consumer 3D scanner is still an extremely powerful device with tons of utility. It features ...

Like many people, I have been preparing files for 3D printing using 3D modeling programs or downloading them from 3D model ...

Back in 2013, Occipital (a company then best known for making the RedLaser barcode scanning app) released the Structure Sensor, a device that turned any iPad you strapped it to into a portable 3D ...
