Some readers may consider that a revolting oversimplification, but it is a helpful one to make a point about how 3D scanning, 3D printing, and CAD work do (and don’t) work together.

These 3D scans are precise enough to capture the fine folds in a piece of clothing or the subtle curves of a ceramic vase.

Often, you will need a 3D scanning spray to coat your model in a white, evaporative coating to make scanning easier. This is not possible with human subjects, but does help with inanimate ones.

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, a handy tool t… ...

When Irrational Games needed to create a distinctive look to promote the female lead in the video game "BioShock Infinite," it looked to 3D scanning rather than traditional modeling software. The ...

Electric Rain Inc. has released Swift 3D LW Version 2.0, a plug-in for LightWave 3D that enables users to render scenes in the SWF file format. It creates vector and raster-based output, and ...

The Knox County Sheriff’s Office is using 3D scan technology to document crime scenes. Investigators and crime scene ...

Police are using 3D-scanning technology to digitally recreate and find the cause of a deadly high-speed crash this week that sparked panic at a Niagara Falls border checkpoint at the Rainbow Bridge.

With OpenScan project software, Raspberry Pi, and the Pi camera v2.1, Megel created a budget-friendly 3D-scanning system that's able to capture highly accurate 10-micron 3D scans with relative ease.
