5 Jan 2011Google 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 [...]

10 Nov 2010When we launched the blog 1 year ago, our goal was to share information about 3D technology with the community, but also hear about what you are up to.
I’m glad to share with you Lauri Põldre’s 3D scanning project. His company, 3D Technologies R&D, scanned the Piusa Cavern. Located in the south-eastern part of Estonia, [...]

3 Nov 2010I am really happy when I receive projects completed by users of the Handyscan 3D scanner. Artist Rino Côté created an aluminum sculpture in the shape of a tree branch for Sherbrooke University in Canada. For Rino Côté, this branch represents lightness and vitality. It is full of life and promise for the future, much [...]

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 [...]

19 Feb 2010ACCURACY AND RESOLUTION IMPROVEMENT
When we think of future laser scanning, first thing that comes in mind is an accuracy and resolution improvement. But this is not the big deal…
First parameters to consider are from an engineering point of view and are limited by price and engineering capabilities. Structural rigidity of the scanner itself has virtually [...]

9 Dec 2009After having read an article in the French cad.magazine, I felt like discussing the subject. I feel the packaging industry is very innovative and keeps pushing back limits to pique the interest of everyone, and particularly of us, consumers!
Not only do they push back the limits of aesthetics, but they also push back the limits [...]
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.
