Some readers may consider that a revolting oversimplification, but it is a helpful one to make a point about how 3D scanning, 3D printing, and CAD work do (and don’t) work together.

It seems like just a year or two ago that 3D printing was a brand new idea known only to those keeping a watchful eye on innovative tech for the future. Nonetheless, that technology has quickly ...

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

By being able to leverage a $400-$700 phone (contract-free) and the camera on a smartphone, 3D scanning technology could be adopted by more users, further democratizing this new technology.

Just how smart is your smartphone? Smart enough to power a 3D scanner. So goes the thinking behind Eora 3D, a laser scanner that uses your phone as the brains.

Swiss researchers at the Computer vision and geometry Lab of the add 3D scanning to smartphone cameras with a simple app.

The Cary-based gaming technology company that's among the leaders in developing the virtual "metaverse" has launched a beta test of its RealityScan, a 3D scanning app.

Unfortunately at the current time ETH Zurich has not made in a new 3D scanning smartphone application available to the public to download.

The turntable uses your smartphone as the major electronics for the scanning system. In addition to scanning objects in 3D, the Pixelio can also shoot 360-degree images and time lapse videos.
