Polycam is an affordable alternative to pro-level 3D scanners and is much less effort than traditional photogrammetry methods ...

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 ...

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 ...

Apple isn't known for making big changes in its devices too often, but the company does stack some industry-leading bits of hardware in its products. Ever noticed the black circle next to the cameras ...

Not all 3D scanning is alike, and the right workflow can depend on the object involved. [Ding Dong Drift] demonstrates this in his 3D scan of a project car. His goal is to design custom attachments, ...

TNO developed technology that solves this: using 3D scanning and vision algorithms, we reconstruct models and detect defects, ...

Building hot rods remained basically the same for decades, with tried-and-true “old school” methods being used to create increasingly complex builds. Computers really changed the game, allowing things ...
