Last year, California-based Occipital closed out a wildly successful Kickstarter for its Structure Sensor, an iPad-mountable structured light scanner that can perceive the world in three dimensions by ...

What are Blue Light 3D Scanners? Structured light 3D scanners, typically mounted on a camera stand, robot, or tripod, function as point-and-shoot cameras and need little or no programming with minimal ...

There has been an increase in the availability of affordable 3D scanners these last few years, largely down to the use of structured light technology in such scanners. Traditional 3D scanners use ...

General Motors has begun a blue light 3D scanning program to record all the details of its Motorama cars, other concepts, and one-offs beginning with the vehicles in its Heritage Center. Such ...

A number of factors can influence the accuracy of an intraoral scan, including the color of a scanner's light. The use of a blue-light scanning mode resulted in significantly more accurate scans in a ...

Scanning a film negative is as simple as holding it up against a light source and photographing the result. But should you try such a straightforward method with color negatives it’s possible your ...

With just a flicker of blue light, little Johnny’s mother one day may know for sure whether her son washed his hands before dinner. New light-scanning technology borrowed from the slaughterhouse ...

Scientists have constructed an innovative new optical trap that can grab and scan tiny elongated bacteria with the help of a laser. The physicists created a kind of light tube that traps the agile ...

Manipulating nanoscale light in scanning tunneling microscope junctions is attained by nanofabrication of gold tips using a focused ion beam technique. Researchers have demonstrated that a spectrum of ...
