The Sense is a consumer-facing offspring of the hand-held industrial 3D scanners like the ones a team of Smithsonian archivists is using to digitize a small portion of the museum's collection.

The 3D System Sense Scanner is capable of scanning objects up to 10 x 10ft, which can then be used to create 3D printed objects using a 3D printer.

We're going to hold off here, of course -- wait until we've spent some more time 3D Systems' Sense scanner and more or less dance around the phrase in the meantime.

A medical scanner can take 3D images of the entire body at once for the first time ever. A combination of two commonly-used scanners - positron emission tomography (PET) and X-ray computed ...

South Carolina-based 3D Systems just recently outed a cheapish, consumer-friendly scanner called the Sense, and I swung by Engadget’s Expand show in New York this weekend to see the thing in action.

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… ...

After over a decade of development, the world's first full-body medical scanner has produced its first images. The groundbreaking imaging device is almost 40 times faster than current PET scans ...

Among the most intriguing is the iSense from 3D Systems. This pricey iPad accessory attaches over the camera of an Apple tablet and transforms the device into a very efficient 3D scanner.

That’s about to change thanks to the Silicon Valley-based Naked Labs Inc., which created the first 3D body scanner for the home called Naked.
