Way back in 2014, at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, I got the chance to be turned into a 3D model. Unfortunately, they wanted several hundred dollars for a 3-inch model that would have ...

REVIEW – Reverse engineering things is difficult. I know because I’ve tried it with very simple objects, and it was still very difficult. It’s so much easier when you have a 3D scanner. So, when the ...

Whether it’s reproducing parts that are no longer available, or creating one-off performance parts, 3D printing has opened up a lot of possibilities. But those parts are only as good as the templates ...

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 ...

D scan broken furniture or tile corners with an iPhone, pass that data to an AI to estimate the "shape before it broke"and then 3D print a repair part that fits into the missing section.Until recently ...

Measuring a physical object with a ruler, caliper, or gauge works well when only a few dimensions matter. The process becomes ...

REVIEW – Having worked for years as a professional in the digital arts, I’ve spent countless hours hunched over a computer, recreating real-world objects in digital space. With digital calipers in ...

Rather than spending hundreds or even thousands of pounds on a 3D scanner, you might be interested to know that it is possible to use an Xbox Kinect to create an affordable alternative. This guide by ...
