Start-up XYZPrinting today released its first all-in-one 3D printer, which uses a 3D laser scanner to replicate objects placed inside the machine. While other 3D printing companies sell handheld ...

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 ...

The RGB3DScanner enables you to use the power of your smart phone to digitally scan objects from real life into digital images ready for 3D printing, modelling or manipulation. The RGB3DScanner is ...

Since 2004, I have worked on PCMag’s hardware team, covering at various times printers, scanners, projectors, storage, and monitors. I currently focus my testing efforts on 3D printers, pro and ...

3DMakerPro has named their latest 3D scanner the Moose, following their tradition of naming their scanners after animals. The Moose is a portable and lightweight scanning solution that's perfect for ...

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

Leading manufacturer of 3D printing equipment, Creality offers the best deals in their production of 3D scanners made for the 3D printing process: the CR-Scan Ferret and CR-Scan Lizard. Creality ...

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 ...

Former CNET editor Dong Ngo has been involved with technology since 2000, starting with testing gadgets and writing code for CNET Labs' benchmarks. He managed CNET's San Francisco Labs, reviews 3D ...

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 ...

I need some advise as to the efficacy of existing 3D scanners in producing CAD-compatible scans of large objects (about 1.25 m x 10 cm x 10 cm) at relatively high resolutions (30-50 um). My company is ...
