The 2021 3D Printing Industry Awards shortlists are now open for voting. You can watch the event on the 3D Printing Industry YouTube channel on the 21st of October. Automated Precision Inc (API), a US-based manufacturer of laser metrology devices, has launched a new version of its iSCAN3D 3D scanner. The third-generation hand-held device comes complete with several upgrades that improve performance and usability, including new laser optics and blue crossed laser lines for rapid metrology-grade 3D scanning. Designed for portability on the shop floor, the iSCAN3D is intended for applications such as prototype inspection, reverse engineering, large body assemblies, flush and gap, mold and die cavities, surface contours, and fixture inspection. “We have seen an explosion in the uptake of laser scanning within manufacturing over the past few years,” states Joe Bioty, President of API. “With the launch of iScan3D, API reconfirms its focus in this growing market providing… read more
Imaging device manufacturer Revopoint 3D Technologies has raised over £1.5 million to support the launch of its upcoming POP 2 3D scanner. Built around the principles of binocular and micro-structured light, and boosted by the firm’s proprietary micro-projecting chip, the POP 2 is capable of acquiring 3D point cloud data with high precision, and achieving a peak single-frame accuracy of 0.1mm. Given that its latest scanner is also built with affordability in mind, the firm is therefore marketing the device as a ‘professional quality product at a consumer-grade price.’ Expected to ship in February 2022, the system is now available for backing on Kickstarter from £317, where it has already garnered enough interest to smash its initial £7,500 target. “If you’re a gadget and high-tech enthusiast in general, Revopoint’s latest 3D scanner is definitely for you,” reads Revopoint 3D’s Kickstarter page. “If you’re an active 3D printing creator, a VR/AR… read more
The new line of contemporary 3D printed jewelry will be previewed at the September edition of the Parisian fair Maison and Objet. Designed by Omri Revesz, these beautiful 3D printed pieces are inspired by mathematics, astonishing poetry and the paradoxes and illusions of perception. Penrose: mathematics, patterns and poetry Tenacious geometric structures become vibrant patterns, rigid schemes materialise nonchalantly to generate a game of inlaid work that combines artificial with natural, rules with creativity, almost simulating the harmonies hidden behind our everyday lives. Penrose, the new collection of 3D printed jewelry created by the Israeli designer Omri Revesz for Maison 203, recaptures the tiling invented by Roger Penrose and Robert Aman in 1974: a pattern of geometric shapes that combine two rhombus shapes of different sizes to create an endless pattern. A mathematical structure interpreted by the designer to become a platform for an infinite number of design possibilities. The… read more
