“Globes have a very low survival rate,” explained Ian Fowler, director of the Osher Map Library (OML) at the University of Southern Maine. Made to be touched and spun, globes wear down over the years, ...

Researchers using state-of-the-art scanning technology have produced a highly detailed 3D digital map of Londonderry's historic walled city. The Walls of Derry are famous for being the only completely ...

Digital twins have moved far past the stage of theory. They’re already influencing how cities take shape, how factories ...

Scientists are harnessing technology more commonly used in industrial settings to create high-quality “digital twins” of tropical rainforests by scanning above and below the forest canopy. The ...

3D scanners are used across a wide range of industries and applications due to their ability to capture the physical dimensions of objects and environments quickly and accurately, enabling their ...

3D scanning is important because the ability to digitize awkward or troublesome shapes from the real world can really hit the spot. One can reconstruct objects by drawing them up in CAD, but when ...
