3D is definitely the hottest topic since the beginning of 2010. I can still remember the day I have waited 1 hour in the line trying to get two seats for Avatar at Eaton center IMAX after 4 weeks of glory in the box office. To be really honest, I never thought about stepping [...]

MOCAP: An important invention for movie and video game industries!
By: Louis-Philippe Gendron
1 Jul 2010Motion Capture is the term used to describe the process of recording movement and translating all the movements into a computer graphic model. The MOCAP is used to enhance the quality of the movements in a lot of movies and video games. For example, James Cameron used the motion tracking for the facial expressions and the [...]

Take 3D printing to another level – Ice printing!
By: Terry Chang
In: 3D Technologies| Education
5 May 2010A group of students and faculties from McGill University in Montreal have developed a new, inexpensive way to sculpt 3D models – with water!!
This new ground breaking technology is brining the traditional rapid prototyping (RP) to a whole new level and the current practical applications of this project include commercial (outdoor) and industrial part modeling [...]
Cloning an archaeological artifact
By: Stéphane Auclair
21 Apr 2010This article explains how Creative Tools cloned a thousand-year-old archaeological artifact using a Color Handyscan 3D scanner and a ZPrinter 650 3D printer from Z Corporation.
This project stemmed from a fascinating archaeological finding of a thousand year old Viking belt buckle. Andreas Johansson from Länsmuseet Halmstad lent us the magnificent artifact that had been found in Kungälv [...]

Getting the HandyPROBE and Handyscan 3D to collaborate
By: Julien Marchand
18 Mar 2010Since the introduction of the HandyPROBE, this device has been functioning in a third-party inspection software, such as PowerInspect or Polyworks. This requirement made it hard to combine both the probing results from the HandyPROBE with the mesh file from the Handyscan 3D. However, since VxScan 4.0, this integration is much easier.
In VxScan 3.1, we [...]

10 Feb 2010Boats fabrication has always been very traditional using well established processes and has always been reluctant and slow to incorporate new technologies. However we recently see a bloom of interest from different shipyards and boat architecture offices.
TOOLS
Leica C10 long range scanner combine with Handyscan 3D Technology makes the perfect tool for boat reverse engineering, repairs, [...]
Last week, computer giant Hewlett-Packard has announced a partnership with the 3D printer manufacturer Stratasys. Under this agreement, Stratasys will develop and manufacture for HP an exclusive line of 3D printers based on Stratasys’ [...] technology. This HP-branded 3D printer will be available later this year.
This means that someone in HP thought that the 3D [...]

Creaform’s new tool for human body scanning!
By: Daniel Brown
In: 3D Technologies| Business
20 Jan 2010What a great news! Creaform is confirming today the acquisition of InSpeck: a company that manufactures and markets 3D scanning system specialized in human-body scanning. This will enlarge (and complement) our set of tools in order to satisfy the needs of our multimedia customers (and others like medical, plastic surgery…). Concretely, this will allow Creaform [...]
You’ve all heard the buzz over Avatar over the Holidays for a number of reasons, the sheer budget of the film being one. However, what’s directly interesting us is the use of 3D and what it means to us in this business.
In the meantime, surfing on the same wave, is what happened at CES [...]

Everybody knows I’ve been a fan of the iPhone from the very beginning. However, I was only able to treat myself with “the marvel” a few short months ago… Why did I wait so long? It would probably be inappropriate to discuss this issue here since it involves our president… In all honesty, my desire [...]
