A few years ago, 3D scanners were primarily viewed as tools for high-end industries or specialized laboratories. They were expensive and often too complex for the average user. However, with ...

Measuring high aspect ratio and composite micro-trenches without damage is critical for advanced microfabrication, yet conventional coherence scanning interferometry often suffers from a low signal-to ...

Researchers used advanced electron ptychography to visualize atomic-scale defects inside modern transistors. The technique ...

3D head scanning technology has evolved rapidly, bringing professional-grade capabilities within reach of enthusiasts and hobbyists. You can now create intricate, high-quality 3D models of your head ...

For autonomous driving, UAV tracking and beyond, light detection and ranging (LiDAR) is a core 3D imaging technology.

Scientists have designed a new technique using robotics to rapidly generate high-resolution, three-dimensional images of ants. Antscan is the world’s first digitized library of nearly 800 ant species ...

For more than a decade, Evan Economo's lab has been using micro-CT machines to scan insect specimens. The resulting X-ray images help researchers study the form and structure of insects—a subfield of ...

Rather than spending hundreds or even thousands of pounds on a 3D scanner, you might be interested to know that it is possible to use an Xbox Kinect to create an affordable alternative. This guide by ...
