An Arduino-based 3D scanner was created by an industrious 3D printing enthusiast and released open source this week for all to enjoy. This open source project was made to take out the most ...

These 3D scans are precise enough to capture the fine folds in a piece of clothing or the subtle curves of a ceramic vase.

There are some tasks that will never be suitable for a smartphone—serious video editing and serious spreadsheeting, for example—but there’s plenty that you can do on these pocket devices, and that ...

Like 3D printing is to regular two-dimensional printing, so too does 3D scanning open up a realm of possibilities we couldn’t have imagined with our old flatbed Epson image scanner. The ability to ...

I have a question about 3D scanning devices: Why aren't they easier to access? Today a project by Thomas Megel made the rest of the handheld smart device universe look silly by comparison. With ...

Here at TechCrunch we’re eagerly awaiting the day when 3D photographs are just as mainstream as traditional ones. We even have an ongoing collection of some TC writers modeled in 3D. However, like ...

Let’s say you want to 3D print a replica of an object in your home. The first step, of course, is capturing a detailed 3D scan — a process that’s currently accomplished to varying degrees of accuracy ...
