Advanced computer design tools have merged with high-definition laser camera scan data to produce integrated images that are particularly useful for outage and maintenance planning. A 3-D tool that ...

Aerotech Inc., a global provider of precision motion control and automation, launched its AGV-CPO CORE Performance 2-Axis ...

The mechanism of a confocal laser scanning microscope is to irradiate an object with a laser beam emitted from a light source, scan the entire object in two directions, the X-axis and the Y-axis, and ...

[Valentin] wanted to experiment with 3D scanning some objects he had around the house, but says he didn’t want to buy a line laser for the project since they are pretty expensive. Fortunately, he had ...

Designing the right scan path, and laser intensity along that path, is key to turning out quality metal parts using laser powder-bed fusion. The most popular 3D printing process for making metal parts ...

Collecting coordinates by laser scanning made it possible for Aircraft Technologies Inc. to use existing tooling to develop a CAD model of a new design. In the design-sensitive, high-value market of ...

Laser scanning microscopes are useful for all kinds of tiny investigations. As it turns out, you can build one using parts salvaged from a Blu-ray player, as demonstrated by [Doctor Volt]. The trick ...

In brief: Even though Blu-ray players have been mostly replaced by streaming and video-on-demand services, they can still serve a purpose. A resourceful YouTuber shows he could turn said player into a ...

Researchers are one step closer to understanding a culture and people that lived about 4,000 years ago in Mesopotamia, in the region of modern-day Iraq and Iran. Researchers are one step closer to ...
