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 ...

These 3D scans are precise enough to capture the fine folds in a piece of clothing or the subtle curves of a ceramic vase.

3D scanners were once massive, expensive tools built entirely for industrial purposes. Fortunately, science is on the case, and now you can fit one into a smartphone. Finally, we can see not just 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 ...

Here at TechCrunch we’re eagerly awaiting the day when 3D photographs are just as mainstream as traditional ones. We even have an ongoing collection of some TC writers modeled in 3D. However, like ...

Researchers at Caltech developed a 3D scanning device that is small enough to fit into a smartphone. I'm PCMag's managing editor for consumer electronics, overseeing an experienced team of analysts ...

Rick Broida is the author of numerous books and thousands of reviews, features and blog posts. He writes CNET's popular Cheapskate blog and co-hosts Protocol 1: A Travelers Podcast (about the TV show ...

It seems 3D printers have been around for ages and still we don’t have a good solution for turning physical 3D objects into digital ones. Yes, 3D scanners exist, but the OpenScan is the best 3D ...

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 ...
