The concept of a 3D scanner can seem rather simple in theory: simply point a camera at the physical object you wish to scan in, rotate around the object to capture all angles and stitch it together ...

With the aim of creating an easy-to-use 3D camera capable of scanning and 360 degree stitching the Wunder360 S1 has launched by Indiegogo and is now available to back with super early bird pledges ...

HP’s Sprout all-in-one was a behemoth when it launched, and its second iteration, the Sprout Pro G2, wasn’t any different. Both PCs made 3D scanning easier by incorporating a down-facing camera atop ...

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 ...
