Laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) is a popular method of 3D printing metal parts. It creates thin layers of patterned metal by scanning a laser over a bed of metal powder in predetermined patterns ...

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 ...

Building hot rods remained basically the same for decades, with tried-and-true “old school” methods being used to create increasingly complex builds. Computers really changed the game, allowing things ...

Polycam is an affordable alternative to pro-level 3D scanners and is much less effort than traditional photogrammetry methods ...

Sculpteo has launched a new professional 3D scanning service to help customers digitise complex objects with high-precision ...

Learn about the Raven series from 3DMakerpro, a new series of LiDAR-based spatial 3D scanners that are affordable for makers.

Protect3d co-founders Kevin Gehsmann, Clark Bulleit and Tim Skapek began making customized 3D printed protective devices while they were still undergraduate engineering students at Duke University.

James has been writing about technology for years but has loved it since the early 90s. While his main areas of expertise are maker tools -- 3D printers, vinyl cutters, paper printers, and laser ...

It's no secret that finding a comfortably fitting bra can be difficult, often requiring multiple failed attempts. That's where the Braave system comes in, as it uses 3D printing and scanning ...

3D scanning, like most 3D tech, is booming. Technavio, a research firm, published the Global 3D Scanner Market 2018-2022 report recently, and it shows that the global market today stands at a little ...
