3-D modelling is maturing fast. Increasingly affordable solutions are not only raising general awareness of 3D workflows but revolutionizing design, engineering and manufacturing processes. The case in point is German-based David-laserscanner - a system When you have a project at hand but don’t have a lot of money, you need to be inventive. For example, a 3D scanner can be quite expensive, but Wired reports one young engineer figured out how to build a budget one using a webcam and a laser. The budget Imagine trying to assemble a chair—it’s 99% done, but you’re missing just this one screw to keep its back from falling off. Knowing the dimensions and geometry of the screw, you can quickly “make” your own—model it in 3D, and then 3D print it. Currently ongoing at the Transmediale New Media Festival is Friedrich Kirschner’s 3D fluid scanning. His lo fi approach to 3D image capturing uses high contrast fluids (such as milk or ink) to effectively capture the shape of any 3D object. By capturing Commercial scanners already exist, but cost thousands of dollars. You can also find plans for DIY scanners that use 3D imaging devices like the camera in Microsoft's Xbox Kinect. MakerBot has not yet announced the price of the Digitizer, said to still be 3D scanning isn't exactly new more importantly, the life of the DIY enthusiast? Does the Digitizer do as advertised and turn your pile of doodads into easily replicateable digital files? You know where to look for answers, after the break. .

The aptly named 3D printer scanner, Zeus, may be a game changer in getting 3-dimensional Given the wide range of other DIY and affordable 3D printers that have made the rounds on Kickstarter and other crowdfunding communities, this one is a bit different. Research engineer Andy Barry shows off a plastic model of his face, made with a 3D scanner he designed. With little more than a laser, a webcam and a MakerBot, you can make a 3D plastic replica of your face -- or anything else you might want to copy Priced at $40 – not including projector and camera – this kit allows you to create your own 3D scanner. The system projects a series of lines on the object and the camera then takes a series of images. The results can be used in 3D design or for rapid In the last couple of years, we've seen some really impressive DIY 3D scanning rigs built using the Microsoft Kinect, like a depth-sensing DSLR rig and even a completely handheld 3D scanner. But who says you need a Kinect to power a 3D scanner? One DIYer .
