There’s plenty of different methods to build a 3D scanner, with photogrammetry being a particularly accessible way to do it. This involves taking a series of photos from different angles to build up ...

There are a whole bunch of different ways to create 3D scans of objects these days. Researchers at the [UW Graphics Lab] have demonstrated how to use a small, cheap time-of-flight sensor to generate ...

There are multiple apps that use the iPhone to perform 3D scanning of objects, but most of them require a LiDAR scanner (distance measuring sensor) and cannot be used on models that do not have a ...

Your iPhone's 3D scanner is impressive, but it's not even close to a dedicated scanner ...

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 objects ...

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) ...

Got something you want to scan in 3D? It turns out you can use your iPhone with apps like Qlone, Scandy Pro, and Polycam, without any special hardware. With Apple rolling out Object Capture on MacOS ...

With a 3D printer, you can create innumerable objects from the comfort of your own home, including useful tools, pieces of art, replacement parts, and much more. With new 3D printing methods being ...
