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 ...

Manufacturers of supplier parts or complete products are increasingly encountering strict requirements across various industries, including aerospace, transportation, tooling, foundry and casting.

I have been 3D printing for a while now, and throughout, I have created my files for 3D printing using a 3D modeling program, as well as occasionally downloading them from 3D printing websites. It ...

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 ...

Let’s explore how Hexagon’s handheld 3D scanning technology allows for metrology-grade parts scanning, allowing for the digitalization of parts without the concern of fixturing or environmental ...

You can turn natural objects into digital models, which you can use in your design. Whether you're still a student, a hobbyist, or a seasoned professional, 3D scanners are an essential part of the ...

The handheld MAX Series line of industrial 3D scanners, designed and manufactured in Canada, offers an impressive 3D scanning area of approximately 1m x 1m and was developed to acquire accurate 3D ...

The pandemic forced stakeholders to recognize the importance of adapting and incorporating innovative, particularly in relation to cost savings and efficiency. One of the technologies used to mitigate ...

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