As our newest technology, we, application engineers in the Scan & Inspection department, are still getting to know the Go!SCAN 3D. And as with any new “toy", we particularly like to test its limits.We decided to try the Texture Mode and scan the entire passenger compartment of a Honda...

The upcoming SPAR Europe Conference on End-to-End 3D is to be held between November 12 and 14, 2012 and is expected to unveil the latest advances and technologies in 3D capture, processing and delivery. All in all, a total of 55 lecturers from 17 countries will be speaking as...

A group headed by researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Astronomy (MPIA) succeeded in using ray tracing in order to create a 3D model of molecular cloud B68. The latter is believed to be an area that could be conducive to the birth of a low-mass star. The...

The debate surrounding 3D printing and the democratization of manufacturing doesn't seem to be waning as Stratasys goes for the big kill with the largest firearms-makers across the United States. This comes in the wake of the major 3D printing company leaving Defense Distributed in the dust after alleging that it...

Virtual gaming is now ready to give back to the animal kingdom thanks to a series of free online games that allow players to sponsor a specific charity. As a result, instead of ending up with virtual gains that can be of little use, virtual gamers can actually give...

The expression "thin skinned" may no longer only bear a negative connotation as this concept could become the foundation for creating a new generation of virtual reality gloves. That's right, a University of Illinois team of researchers have found a way to design and produce flexible circuits combined with strips...

World leader in 3D design software and 3D CAD Autodesk has granted Penn State Behrend with a huge donation in the form of free access to three of its software packages: Education Master Suite (advanced 3D CAD and engineering analysis tools), Simulation Moldflow (design tool for plastic injection molding)...

Stimulating employees as part of critical training operations is a never-ending endeavor for employers, which explains why 3D serious gaming and 3D training simulations are becoming increasingly important for in-house training. That's right, companies must always be on the lookout for new training methods that will bring their human resources to...

The Consumers Electronics Association (CEA) has released its "Five Technology Trends to Watch" publication, unveiling a list that includes, among others, 3D printing as part of the emerging technologies that will hit mainstream in 2013. Apart from 3D printing, which is atop the roster, you have out there next-generation...

The applications of 3D scanning are limitless and it has been discovered that it could be used towards lower radiation levels in breast examinations. Indeed, a team of physicists, mathematicians and radiologists came up with the idea of a computed tomography (CT) scan that uses 3D scanning in order...
