The world of digital manufacturing is moving toward a stage where physical and digital boundaries are becoming less visible.

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 ...

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 ...

Turning real-world objects into precise CAD models is no longer just for big industries — scan-to-CAD workflows make it faster, easier, and more accurate than ever. From capturing detailed 3D scans to ...

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 ...

The proposed technique employs two novel approaches: dual 3D edge extraction and opacity–color gradation, to enhance the clarity of 3D scanned objects. Recent advances in three-dimensional (3D) ...
