Surface reconstruction is an important trend in 3D scanning. The problem is to recreate surfaces from a given point cloud within the shortest possible time and with a given quality criteria. There is a set of different approaches for solving this problem, which includes Self-Organized Maps, Bayesian reconstruction and Poisson reconstruction. The aim of the […]

July 20, 2016 by
While the National Labs are known for their supercomputers, some are also tasked with helping US industry advance digital manufacturing. The 3D printed car and Jeep projects were done to demonstrate Oak Ridge’s Big Area Additive Manufacturing technology, which the lab says could bring a whole new meaning to the phrase “rapid prototyping.” A new report by a 3D printing service called Sculpteo offers some insight into who is using 3D printing. They surveyed 1,000 respondents from 19 different industry online from late January to late March 2016.
