We’ve said it again and again: every garage needs a 3D printer. If our word isn’t gold for you, just take a look back at The Great Ford Maverick 3D Print-Off where Peter Holderith and I designed some ...

3D scanning and 3D printing may sound like a natural match for one another, but they don’t always play together as easily and nicely as one would hope. I’ll explain what one can expect by highlighting ...

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 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 ...

Strange software bugs. Could benefit from extra light. No mobile device compatibility. Requires a computer. As a chronic tinkerer, I’ve always wished there was a simple, efficient, and effective way ...

3D scanners are used across a wide range of industries and applications due to their ability to capture the physical dimensions of objects and environments quickly and accurately, enabling their ...

What are Blue Light 3D Scanners? Structured light 3D scanners, typically mounted on a camera stand, robot, or tripod, function as point-and-shoot cameras and need little or no programming with minimal ...
