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 ...

When I first heard about LiDAR and the 3D scanning apps available for the iPhone, I was skeptical that it was anything more than a gimmick. But I couldn't have been more wrong. With no prior ...

Skydio pilots are leveraging Skydio 3D Scan for a vast number of applications. From close inspections of utility assets to digital twin capture of bridges to accident scene reconstruction, operators ...

The first-ever full 3D scan of the Titanic was released in May, showing the wreckage of the ill-fated ship. The scan, completed by Magellan as a "digital twin" of the Titanic, is incredibly detailed.

3D scanners are becoming more popular than ever. One of the main reasons for this is the growing desire of humans to create and replicate three-dimensional objects. Whether you're an architect looking ...

Skydio pilots have been doing some amazing things with Skydio 3D Scan since it was announced last summer. From utility assets, to bridges, to historical sites, pilots armed with autonomous drones are ...

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 world's most famous shipwreck can now be analyzed like never before. A digital scan of the Titanic wreckage has offered researchers new insight into the ship's final moments 100 years after its ...

Printing 3D objects has always felt like a daunting and expensive affair, but we are beginning to see 3D printers come down in price substantially. The problem is that it’s still difficult to create ...

3D scanning and 3D printing may sound like a natural match for one another, but they don’t always play together as easily and nicely as one would hope. I’ll explain what one can expect by highlighting ...
