It seems 3D printers have been around for ages and still we don’t have a good solution for turning physical 3D objects into digital ones. Yes, 3D scanners exist, but the OpenScan is the best 3D ...

The proposed technique employs two novel approaches: dual 3D edge extraction and opacity–color gradation, to enhance the clarity of 3D scanned objects. Recent advances in three-dimensional (3D) ...

Got something you want to scan in 3D? It turns out you can use your iPhone with apps like Qlone, Scandy Pro, and Polycam, without any special hardware. With Apple rolling out Object Capture on MacOS ...

If you can 3D-scan it, you can 3D-print it – and Matter and Form has announced a super-versatile new way to do so. The Three system creates photorealistic, high-detail, full-color 3D scans of objects ...

When you are still new to 3D scanning, it’s easy to assume you can just wave your scanner at an object and expect perfect results. After 3D scanning, you expect a 3D model without issues that you will ...

Like 3D printing is to regular two-dimensional printing, so too does 3D scanning open up a realm of possibilities we couldn’t have imagined with our old flatbed Epson image scanner. The ability to ...

Printing 3D objects has always felt like a daunting and expensive affair, but we are beginning to see 3D printers come down in price substantially. The problem is that it’s still difficult to create ...

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