That same game-changing innovation has finally come to 3D scanning, with the Revopoint Trackit.The Trackit allows for high accuracy and fine-detail scanning of three-dimensional data without the ...

There are numerous 3D scanning solutions; some use mobile phones (read our hands-on with Epic Games' Reality Scan for mobiles), and it can be a quick, easy way to find a solution. However, the ...

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 ...

3D Scanners Output Meshes, Not CAD Models. I’ve explained before how meshes are fundamentally different from what one is usually working with in a CAD program when designing physical parts.

Check out our top picks of 3D scanner apps for 2023, featuring user-friendly and affordable options like KIRI Engine and Scandy Pro. Read on to learn more about these apps and how they can help you ...

Next up was the Structure Sensor Scanner app, which lets you capture models and e-mail them to yourself for free in .JPG, .MTL, and .OBJ formats (the latter of which is good for 3D printing).

To sum up: 3D scanning makes 3D models from real-world objects, but the models that come out of the scanning process aren’t necessarily suitable for engineering purposes without additional work.

The Photon 3D scanner – which scans objects using a high definition camera and dual laser lines – is relatively small, so it can only handle objects up to 190 x 190 x 250 mm (7.5-inch diameter ...

Though the 3D scanner is designed specifically for the iPad, an optional USB hacker cable will let developers tap in to the Structure Sensor's brain through Android, Windows, Linux, or OS X.
