Why is 3D scanning often preferred for reverse engineering, and how does it compare to contact probing methods? There are pros for non-contact scanning and there are pros for tactile probing methods, but for many parts scanning works better or is essential. Following is a look at the benefits of 3D scan to CAD, and what might be better suited to probing. A hybrid of both techniques may be the best approach at times. Pros [...]

There are significant advantages to using patient-specific medical devices, from improving patient outcomes1 to lowering healthcare costs2. But for a long time, expensive and complicated production processes presented a major obstacle to the wider adoption of this approach. That's changed with the advancement of digital manufacturing. Novel technologies, such as 3D printing, 3D scanning and software for organic 3D design – to name a few – have taken the efficiency and speed of patient-specific design [...]
