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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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

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, ...

Revopoint, the maker of some of the best 3D scanners we've tested, has announced the launch of another milestone in its mission to make industrial-grade 3D scanning more accessible. Revealed at the ...

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 ...

You know those scientific displays of labelled insects stuck on pins? Well, they decay over time, and sometimes even get eaten by an insect known as the museum beetle. That's why German scientists ...
