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 ...

Using a 3D printer to make high quality parts is a great way to improve the look and appeal of any project. If you want to replicate something exactly, though, you’ll need either a very good set of ...

Technology is funny. What seems cutting-edge today will eventually be outdated and replaced by the “next big thing,” or a better version of the now-outdated thing. Vinyl records gave way to ...

Let’s explore how Hexagon’s handheld 3D scanning technology allows for metrology-grade parts scanning, allowing for the digitalization of parts without the concern of fixturing or environmental ...

Manufacturers of supplier parts or complete products are increasingly encountering strict requirements across various industries, including aerospace, transportation, tooling, foundry and casting.

In this interview, Martin Schuster of Laser Design, Inc. talks about how replacing traditional QA systems with 3D scanning can streamline processes and reduce time-to-market. Can you give us a brief ...

In an industry historically reliant on experienced craftsmanship, dome cutting has finally evolved. This process that once ...

It requires significant effort to create 3D models from scratch. Fortunately, 3D scanners have greatly expedited this process, saving valuable time and energy that would otherwise be spent on manual ...

The handheld MAX Series line of industrial 3D scanners, designed and manufactured in Canada, offers an impressive 3D scanning area of approximately 1m x 1m and was developed to acquire accurate 3D ...

The pandemic forced stakeholders to recognize the importance of adapting and incorporating innovative, particularly in relation to cost savings and efficiency. One of the technologies used to mitigate ...

James has been writing about technology for years but has loved it since the early 90s. While his main areas of expertise are maker tools -- 3D printers, vinyl cutters, paper printers, and laser ...
