It is the perfect alternative to solve any productivity issues caused by bottlenecks at the traditional coordinate measuring machine (CMM). Unlike existing solutions, our 3D scanning machine enables ...

The use of 3D laser scanning has been commonplace in industries like engineering, surveying, and construction for years, but ...

production and part approval delays from non-conformities are no longer an issue when using Creaform’s portable optical CMM 3D scanner, the MetraSCAN 3D. Help operators better manage processes and ...

[Roetz 4.0] has decided to go this latter route and converted a 1.3-ton air-bearing Coordinate-measuring machine (CMM) into an FDM 3D printer. (Video, embedded below.) A CMM is a tool used to ...

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 ...

Individual 3D data points are gathered allowing for an accurate definition of the geometric form of an object rather than organic free-form shapes. Digitizing is done with a coordinated measure ...

Demonstrating a white light 3D scanner. Video credit ... Coordinate measuring machines (CMM) are contact scanners which use movable probes to measure an object. Each machine axis is equipped with ...

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.

Since 2004, I have worked on PCMag’s hardware team, covering at various times printers, scanners, projectors, storage, and monitors. I currently focus my testing efforts on 3D printers ...

Hexagon’s first handheld 3D scanning devices, the AtlaScan Max and MarvelScan, enable users to easily scan in a range of environments inside and outside the factory. Eliminating the need to access a ...

Recent advances in three-dimensional (3D) scanning, particularly in photogrammetry and laser scanning, have made it possible ...
