Here’s a video we digged up from our archives about the MaxSHOT 3D (you can actually add photogrammetry capabilities to your Creaform technos by using a MaXSHOT 3D with them).
Yeah, it goes back to the product launch in 2010 – but, hey, a little refresh can’t hurt!
Watch the video.

We recently received this image of a rock crab, scanned for an exhibit to be unveiled later this month at the Monterey Bay Aquarium, in California. The critter was digitalized using the newest member of our portable scanner family: the Go!SCAN 3D.
The author, Jay Morewood, a rapid prototyping engineer for Zip-Bit, said that the scan [...]

When first presented during a Creaform Christmas party and as part of the Handyscan 3D laser scanning contest, this video brought us all to our feet (and to tears for some of us). The delicate balance of of high tech and artistic feel of this short video is moving. Needless to say that the team responsible for [...]

This is amazing what passionnate and brillant undergraduate engineering students can do when they put their mind to something (in this case, the creation a hybrid of a Volkswagen Jetta and a Yamaha motorcycle).
Read the complete story!

– We’ve come across this article on yet another very interesting application of 3D laser scanning technology – in archaeology.

Academics at Dundee University have helped recreate the face of a Viking woman whose skeleton was unearthed in York more than 30 years ago. Read the complete article.

Google just launched “Body Browser,” a WebGL application that lets users explore a high resolution, interactive 3D model of the human anatomy–from the skin down to the nervous system.

From what we saw, we can tell that it’s a very accurate and instructive application. We were very happy to find out that Creaform is going pretty [...]

A 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 [...]


About this blog

This blog is definitely about innovation - about new technologies, new methodologies, new projects and new outcomes.

Through this blog, we will reach to the whole Creaform community and share info about the 3D world – our world.
