Although there are plenty of methods for effectively imaging a 3D space, LiDAR is widely regarded as one of the most effective methods. These systems use a rapid succession of …read more Continue reading A Pi-Based LiDAR Scanner
3D scanning is becoming much more accessible, which means it’s more likely that the average hacker will use it to solve problems — possibly odd ones. That being the case, …read more Continue reading If You’re 3D Scanning, You’ll Want a Way To Work with Point Clouds
There are a whole bunch of different ways to create 3D scans of objects these days. Researchers at the [UW Graphics Lab] have demonstrated how to use a small, cheap …read more Continue reading Reconstructing 3D Objects With a Tiny Distance Sensor
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 …read more Continue reading Watch a 3D Scan Become a Car Body Model
Imagine the power to clone your favorite LEGO piece—not just any piece, but let’s say, one that costs €50 second-hand. [Balazs] from RacingBrick posed this exact question: can a 3D …read more Continue reading Do 3D Printers Dream of LEGO Sheep?
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 …read more Continue reading What’s New in 3D Scanning? All-In-One Scanning is Nice
It seems to make sense. If you have a 3D printer, you might wish you could just scan some kind of part and print it — sort of like a …read more Continue reading 3D Scanning, Phone Edition
[TeachingTech] has a video covering the OpenScan Mini that does a great job of showing the workflow, hardware, and processing method for turning small objects into high-quality 3D models. If …read more Continue reading Watch The OpenScan DIY 3D Scanner In Action
You’ve seen it in movies and shows — the hero takes a blurry still picture, and with a few keystrokes, generates a view from a different angle or sometimes even …read more Continue reading 3D Human Models from a Single Image
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 from coins to cars, and potentially beyond.Continue … Continue reading Full-color 3D scanner accurately models objects of “any size”
