Homemade laser scanner!!

I found this site through a search for laser scanner, all you need to make a laser scanner : a camera / line laser, web cam, controller card,and a stepper motor. tutorial in included, also samples plus the links where to buy the hardware. how amazing it became to build it at your own!!

Nextengine! Amazing 3D lazer Scanner from Solidworks

suprizing how 3d hardware technology became easy to use everday. with a USB to connect you can scan a phone ,shoes ,toys , electronics...etc and have it in no time as 3d models in your computer.!! There are many 3d lazer scanner out there but you have to pay alot of money to get one, but now No translation ,conversion ,graphics specialists hastle needed anymore. Suprising

With NextEngine ’ s new multi-laser array technology, it ’s fast enough to scan a face of an object in about 90 seconds, and at resolution better than many systems that cost 10 times the price.

SWIFT3D

With swift3d you can create and publish your 3d animation to flash easily, I like the friendly interface and the layout. It helped me to find my way around without using the help or tutorial for basic operations. so simple, and very basic first you edit your Scene by importing the 3d models or creating them , then preview and last export indifferent file format such as " flash, gif, jpg , gif” . This is just simple features of what you can do with it. And the pictures above are for a model I created in Spatch and export it as DXF to finally to use it in swift3d. link

FreeForm 3d Modeling, "SensAble Technologies Product"

The FreeForm Concept solution is a unique touch-enabled system that gives designers a quick, easy way to develop realistic 3D conceptual designs. By creating a robust linkage between conceptualization and engineering, the FreeForm Concept system accelerates the transition from sketches to model, thereby shortening the product development cycle. The system output includes photorealistic renderings, files for rapid prototyping, and selected 3D formats for downstream processes.link
