Engineers have developed a high-throughput, multimaterial 3D inkjet printer that uses computer vision to rapidly and automatically control the amount of material being deposited during the printing ...

3D scanners rely on being able to identify physical features of an object, and line up what it saw a moment ago with what it sees now in order to build a 3D model. However, not every object is as ...

Got something you want to scan in 3D? It turns out you can use your iPhone with apps like Qlone, Scandy Pro, and Polycam, without any special hardware. With Apple rolling out Object Capture on MacOS ...

3D printing technology is changing the way we manufacture everything from toys and clothes to human tissue. The process of printing a three-dimensional object is known as additive manufacturing. A ...

Through the looking glass: In a laboratory at Tsinghua University in China, researchers have successfully tackled one of the most persistent limitations in 3D printing. They have developed a system ...

A new method significantly advances 3D imaging of reflective surfaces. The approach integrates techniques known from high-precision optical 3D metrology and computer vision, and could benefit ...
