U.S. researchers have developed a camera chip that could give smartphones the ability to take 3D scans of everyday objects, a sought-after feature in the 3D-printing world. Engineers at the California ...

It seems to make sense. If you have a 3D printer, you might wish you could just scan some kind of part and print it — sort of like a 3D photocopier. Every time we think about this, though, we watch a ...

An Arduino-based 3D scanner was created by an industrious 3D printing enthusiast and released open source this week for all to enjoy. This open source project was made to take out the most ...

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 ...
