3D scanning technology that once required a dedicated lab and six-figure budget now fits in a carry-on bag. Revopoint's Spring Sale offers 15% off its entire scanner lineup, with models ranging from 467 USD to 4,233 USD. The technology enables engineers to reverse engineer legacy components and archaeologists to document dig sites non-destructively. https://3dprintingindustry.com/news/3d-scanning-just-got-more-affordable-here-is-what-that-means-for-your-work-250114/ #3Dprint #3Dprinting #3DScanning #Revopoint
3D Scanning Just Got More Affordable. Here Is What That Means for Your Work. - 3D Printing Industry

When engineers at leading automotive companies need to reverse engineer a legacy component for which no CAD file exists, they scan it. When archaeologists document a dig site before excavation disturbs it, they scan it.  The technology that once required a dedicated lab and a six-figure budget to do either of those things now fits […]
