An Arduino-based 3D scanner was created by an industrious 3D printing enthusiast and released open source this week for all to enjoy. This open source project was made to take out the most ...

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 ...

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

When I first heard about LiDAR and the 3D scanning apps available for the iPhone, I was skeptical that it was anything more than a gimmick. But I couldn't have been more wrong. With no prior ...

3D scanners are becoming more popular than ever. One of the main reasons for this is the growing desire of humans to create and replicate three-dimensional objects. Whether you're an architect looking ...

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, ...

This content was produced in partnership with 3DMakerpro. 3D printing truly is amazing, because you can create virtually anything, as long as you have the blueprints or digital 3D models. But while ...

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 ...

In Guatemala, a hospital is using a 3D scanner to create templates for a prosthetic. The affordable process makes access to 3D-printed limbs possible even when the hospital itself can’t afford it.
