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 ...

D scanners rely on being able to identify physical features of an object, and line up what it saw a moment ago with what it ...

The DIY 3D Scanner is a device used in an object replication. This project is build for scanning actual object details using IR sensor with a custom electronic board. It features a full DIY 3D printed ...

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 ...

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 ...

The technology behind 3D printers has become more compact, advanced, and affordable over the past decade, but the same hasn't been true for 3D scanners, which are vital to the printing process.

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