“We are trying to reduce not only our time to start a design, but we want to have a good design the first time. We want to eliminate any rework that would cost us time and money later in our program ...

The 3D scanner is a device to capture the geometry of objects to create digital 3D models for 3D printing, 3D modeling, reverse engineering and measurement, etc. The Maker Lab has two Revopoint POP 2 ...

(((Hey, thanks a lot, "Armchair Anarchist" at Futurismic. I've been predicting the advent of these spime-friendly gizmos forages now.)))http://www.zcorp.com/news ...

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 ...

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 ...

What are Blue Light 3D Scanners? Structured light 3D scanners, typically mounted on a camera stand, robot, or tripod, function as point-and-shoot cameras and need little or no programming with minimal ...

We’ve recently got a look at how [Ken Shirriff] used an industrial CT scanner as a reverse engineering tool. The results were spectacular, with pictures that clearly showed the internal arrangement of ...

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 ...

A system that uses a technique called constructive solid geometry (CSG) is allowing MIT researchers to deconstruct objects and turn them into 3D models, thereby allowing them to reverse-engineer ...

You have a part that you need to recreate, but you don’t have a 3D model — meaning you can’t move straight to machining or printing a new part. So long as you have the part, however, and some ...
