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 RGB3DScanner enables you to use the power of your smart phone to digitally scan objects from real life into digital images ready for 3D printing, modelling or manipulation. The RGB3DScanner is ...

You can turn natural objects into digital models, which you can use in your design. Whether you're still a student, a hobbyist, or a seasoned professional, 3D scanners are an essential part of the ...

Apple’s FaceID system uses infrared depth-sensing technology to authenticate people via their faces. It can also be used for simple 3D scanning, and [Scott Yu-Jan] found a better way to do that. The ...

Maybe you’ve already heard of Seene, the free iPhone-only app released earlier this fall that creates 3D images without any additional hardware. The app just received a mega-update today, allowing ...

I have a question about 3D scanning devices: Why aren't they easier to access? Today a project by Thomas Megel made the rest of the handheld smart device universe look silly by comparison. With ...

U.S. researchers have developed a camera chip that could give smartphones the ability to take 3D scans of everyday objects, a sought-after feature in the 3D-printing world. Engineers at the California ...

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 ...
