A testament to those that came before us is what they left behind, from majestic buildings still taking people’s breath away centuries if not thousands of years later to intricate pots, statues, or jewelry. Sadly, not all these items withstood the test of time was such robustness as, say, the pyramids and perhaps need loving,…
Getting your 3D scan is only half the story in making your 3D model useful. Because unless you’re fortunate, some form of model post-processing usually needs to be done to your scan to get it ready for its final purpose. Fortunately, a wealth of third-party essential 3D tools are available to help you out. …
Adjusting the exposure of your Revopoint 3D scanners’ depth cameras’ is super important to get an accurate 3D scan because if the cameras’ have the wrong exposure, they’ll fail to capture the object’s surfaces. So this quick guide will teach you how to set it correctly. Likewise, if doing a color scan adjusting the RGB…
You’ve 3D scanned your way to a fantastic 3D model, but now what? Well, for many people, it’s time to 3D print it. And this guide aims to show you how to do that. After all, getting the 3D model is only half of the story. Please note that this is a general guide, and…
Previously, the only way to get an accurate 3D model of a Lotus engine block would have required hacking the Lotus mainframe or dropping $30k on a 3D scanner, both of which have obvious downsides. So we’re happy to say at Revopoint, we’ve seriously lowered the barrier to making that happen, no hacking or $30k…
Whipping out your phone and creating a 3D model anywhere, anytime sounds super helpful. Maybe even a game changer for making 3D scanning accessible to everyone. So, let’s get down to its brass tacks and see if your phone works as a 3D scanner and if it works well. Can I Use My Phone as…
If you’ve ever wondered how structured light 3D scanners work, congratulations, you’ve got a curious mind and thirst for knowledge that’ll get you far in life. As you may already know, structured light scanning is one of the main methods of 3D scanning, along with photogrammetry and laser scanning. What you might not know is…
3D scanners are one of those pieces of tech that nearly everyone has heard of, but when it comes to what they are really used for, a lot of head-scratching ensues. So, what are 3D scanners used for? In short, you can create 3D models of objects that can be 3D printed or used in…
What drives someone to 3D scan a person? Lust for gold? Power? Or does it just save them a ton of time? It’s probably the third one, but you never can honestly know. The popularity of 3D scanning people is rapidly growing as it allows the creation of customized health solutions, hyper-realistic characters in video games…
Back in the 1980s, when 3D scanning was in its infancy, the tech used probes that physically touched objects to collect data points to build a 3D model. It was slow and severely limited by physical storage, as hard drives were in the KBs back then, so any thoughts of successful 3D body scanning were…
