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 in CAD, but when there isn’t a right angle or a flat plane in sight ...

Improvements in three-dimensional (3D) scanning have enabled quick and accurate scanning of 3D objects, including cultural heritage objects, as 3D point cloud data. However, conventional edge-highlighting visualization techniques, used for understanding ...

The Knox County Sheriff’s Office is using 3D scan technology to document crime scenes. Investigators and crime scene technicians were able to learn how the technology works during a mock crime scene training session on Tuesday.

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 3D photocopier. Every time we think about this, though, we watch a few videos and are instantly disappointed by the ...

This technology has already brought about a sea change in the way components are designed, inspected and produced. The manufacturing industry has evolved significantly since the Industrial Revolution, evolving from the introduction of machine-based ...

3D scanners are used across a wide range of industries and applications due to their ability to capture the physical dimensions of objects and environments quickly and accurately, enabling their digitization with complex geometry and rich textures in high ...

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) — The mastodon bones that were discovered in Kent City in 2022 have finished the years-long drying process and are taking the next step in their scientific journey, while continuing to amaze researchers and technicians that get ...
