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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

This author might be giving away his age a bit, but remember that Aerosmith music video where a teen-aged Jason London creates a VR scenario in which he's riding a motorcycle based on a toy that he ...

Like many people, I have been preparing files for 3D printing using 3D modeling programs or downloading them from 3D model ...

Qualcomm’s second-gen 3D Sonic in-display fingerprint scanner improves upon the first-gen model in all the right places. Unlike optical fingerprint scanners, which come with a tiny camera built-in, ...

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 ...

Strange software bugs. Could benefit from extra light. No mobile device compatibility. Requires a computer. As a chronic tinkerer, I’ve always wished there was a simple, efficient, and effective way ...

There are many meal-tracking apps and iOS-compatible smart scales out there, but for really dedicated calorie-counters the problem with the majority of them is that they don’t give you the nutritional ...
