In the 3D-InAus project, researchers from the Fraunhofer Institute for Communication, Information Processing and Ergonomics (KIE) are using a lidar system on a mobile robot, emitting laser pulses to ...

This 3D-printed confocal laser scanning microscope is a good example of an instrument for measuring really small stuff. As [Zachary Tong] points out, confocal scanning microscopy uses a clever ...

LiDAR stands for Light Detection and Ranging, a remote sensing technology that uses pulses of laser light to measure variable ...

Hexagon has acquired the 3D Systems' Geomagic suite of reverse engineering, design, and inspection software portfolio to Hexagon for $123 million. The interoperable software packages are used to ...

The result is a 3D point cloud in which each point stands for a laser pulse or distance measurement. There is also a camera system with up to six cameras. The images from the cameras are used to ...
