Makerbot is in the gutter, 3D Systems and Stratasys stock is only a shadow of their 2014 glory, but this is the best year 3D printing has ever had. Machines are now good and cheap, there’s a variety ...

Improvements in three-dimensional (3D) scanning have enabled quick and accurate scanning of 3D objects, including cultural heritage objects, as 3D point cloud data. However, conventional ...

To demonstrate the system, the researchers showed that it could reconstruct real-time high-quality still images of a model jet engine rotating at about ∼2170 rpm (top images) and a CPU cooling fan ...

The proposed technique employs two novel approaches: dual 3D edge extraction and opacity–color gradation, to enhance the clarity of 3D scanned objects. Recent advances in three-dimensional (3D) ...
