In part one of this “How to Choose the Right 3D Scanner” series we discussed scanning accuracy and resolution. In addition to these attributes, many scanners can also capture what we refer to as texture or color texture. Very often, when scanning a shape, color texture isn't terribly important, unless the scans will be used for 3D color printing, to display on a website, or for use in AR/VR. But in too many cases, color [...]

Late last month I had the opportunity (along with others from Cimquest) to attend the annual Desktop Metal conference in Jacksonville Florida. Unfortunately, the sunshine state didn't live up to expectations with overcast skies, high winds, and temperatures in the low 50's. Everyone seemed to blame us northerners on dragging the arctic winds with us on our travels. However, despite the cool temperatures, we had a great time gaining a better understanding of the hot [...]
Cimquest officially opened their new office in Florida on January 23rd. It was well attended by local companies who had the opportunity to see the HP 5200 production system, the Desktop Metal Studio System, and take a tour of the Seaway Plastics facility. Attendees got to meet with the Cimquest expert staff and HP 3D Printing specialists while interacting with real 3D printed parts made from a range of engineering-grade materials. Rob Hassold, CEO of [...]
