An Arduino-based 3D scanner was created by an industrious 3D printing enthusiast and released open source this week for all to enjoy. This open source project was made to take out the most ...

3D head scanning technology has evolved rapidly, bringing professional-grade capabilities within reach of enthusiasts and hobbyists. You can now create intricate, high-quality 3D models of your head ...

The RGB3DScanner enables you to use the power of your smart phone to digitally scan objects from real life into digital images ready for 3D printing, modelling or manipulation. The RGB3DScanner is ...

You can turn natural objects into digital models, which you can use in your design. Whether you're still a student, a hobbyist, or a seasoned professional, 3D scanners are an essential part of the ...

Apple’s FaceID system uses infrared depth-sensing technology to authenticate people via their faces. It can also be used for simple 3D scanning, and [Scott Yu-Jan] found a better way to do that. The ...

I have a question about 3D scanning devices: Why aren't they easier to access? Today a project by Thomas Megel made the rest of the handheld smart device universe look silly by comparison. With ...

Maybe you’ve already heard of Seene, the free iPhone-only app released earlier this fall that creates 3D images without any additional hardware. The app just received a mega-update today, allowing ...

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 ...

3D scanners don’t have to cost a fortune: As it turns out, you may already have one in your pocket. A new free app called Capture uses the TrueDepth sensors on X-series iPhones to make crude 3D models ...

U.S. researchers have developed a camera chip that could give smartphones the ability to take 3D scans of everyday objects, a sought-after feature in the 3D-printing world. Engineers at the California ...

House-scanning app Canvas works with lidar on the iPhone 12 Pro, but also scans without it. The difference is accuracy. I started with CNET reviewing laptops in 2009. Now I explore wearable tech, ...

Walabot is a handheld 3D-imaging device that plugs into your Android phone and allows you to see through walls, objects, and materials. The parent technology, Vayyar, was originally developed for ...
