3D scanner: 3D scanning implies analyzing the real-world environment or objects for collecting data on their appearance, i.e. color and shape. Digital 3D models can be constructed from the data collected. Such devices are being used by the amusement industry extensively for producing video games and movies. This technology is more widely used in reverse engineering, industrial design, prototyping, keeping records of cultural artifacts, and computer vision. A number of technologies have been used for building the three-dimensional scanning devices. Every technology has limitations, costs, and advantages.

Functionality: The idea behind using a three-dimensional scanner is creating a Point Cloud of the Geometric Samples on the subject’s surface. The subject’s shape can then be extrapolated by using these points. If information regarding color is gathered at every juncture, the determination of colors on subject’s surface can be easily done. 3D scanners share analogy with cameras. If one tries to define a Spherical Coordinate System wherein the origin would be the scanner and vector would be drawn from front of it such that θ=0 and ?=0, then every point in picture would be associated with θ and ?. Combined with distance that corresponds to r component 3D position of every point in picture is described by the spherical coordinates.

Technology: 3D scanners consist of two types- non-contact and contact. Non-contact three-dimensional scanners could be divided further into 2 major categories- passive and active scanners.

Non-Contact Active: Some light or radiation is always emitted by active scanners. It is advised to detect the reflection of this light, as it would help in locating environment or an object. The kinds of emission possibly used include x-ray, ultrasound, or light.

Contact: Contact three-dimensional scanners locate the subject by the way of physical touch. The best example of contact three-dimensional scanner is a CMM (Coordinate Measuring Machine). It is widely used in manufacturing processes due to its precision. However, it has a disadvantage that contact with object to be scanned is required. The target object might get modified or damaged by scanning. Historical artifacts, in particular, have to be specially taken care of.

3D Prototyping: 3D prototyping is the subset of rapid prototyping. The basic advantage of 3D prototyping is that numerous materials can be used as base materials. It involves taking of virtual designs through CAD (computer-aided design) or Animation Modeling software, transforming them into virtual, thin, and horizontal cross sections, and then creating every cross-section in the physical space, 1 by 1 till the model gets completed.

It should be noted that STL File Format is the interface between machines and CAD software. This interface carries out the approximation of shape of an assembly or part by making use of triangular facets. Surfaces of a superior quality are produced by smaller facets. 3D prototyping is believed to be the ‘next level’ equipment by most of the experts of this field. Pioneer companies are striving to master the technique. The conservative prototyping machines cost around 25000 pounds, as per the study conducted in the year 2005.

Excerpt from: 3D Scanner Technology, 3D Scanning and 3D Scanner Technology

By Lisa Gunther

I’ve had a Swiss Army knife with me since I was a college student. I had to have one when I went off to college. I guess it was something about the “be prepared” feeling a Victorinox swiss army knife exudes. That knife is long since lost, but I foundly remember it. It was the Mechanic model.

These days I carry a pink classic on my key chain so that my keys are easy to spot when on my desk or in my purse. I also have a yellow one in my desk drawer just in case I can’t find my pink one. Or, maybe someone needs to borrow a little pocket knife in an emergency.

Anyhow, I wrote this goofy little poem one day when I was thinking entirely too long and hard about swiss army knives:

Kill a bear

Chop down a tree

My Swiss Army Knife

Is there for me

Clip your nail

Open a box

With my tried and true

Victorinox

Boy Scout pal

Officer’s friend

When you need a tool

It’s what you send

Up in space

Down on the ground

It’s in your pocket

And can be found

Always there

When times get rough

There’s never a job

That is too tough

Stainless steel

Red cellidor

When you need to cut

There’s nothing more

Open some wine

And pop a cap

If there’s a party

Drink in a snap

Plug it in

To USB

Transfer documents

So flawlessly

MP3

And a laser

Show your girl your knife

You’ll amaze her

Whatever else

Could possibly

Be the coolest thing

For us to see?

When it rings

I will not roam

I’ll just flip open

Swiss Army phone

Swiss army knives are perfect gifts for everyone on your shopping list. The Classic model is small and will fit on anyone’s keychain. It features a key ring, small blade, nail file with screwdriver tip, toothpick, tweezer and scissors. I find the scissors to be especially handy when I need to clip my nail or cut a little string off my clothes. The most popular colors for the Victorinox Classic include the red 53001, pink 53005 and black 53003 models. But you can get a classic in these colors as well: assorted rainbow tie dye colors, yellow, camo, blue green, white, grey, purple and with white flowers on them. The Classic even comes in sterling silver models which rival the finest pocket knives available at places like Tiffany.

Someone that fancies a larger model should definitely look at the 53501 Red Swiss Champ. That has been the most popular large knife Victorinox has ever made. It has a lot of stuff packed into it without it costing a fortune. It runs about $68 to $75 online. Those that want the Champ on steroids best take a look at the SwissChamp XLT.

There are several hundred models of swiss army knives to choose from. The best approach is to think about which features you must have and then pick a knife with those features. Some people can’t live without scissors, others really want pliers. A small pen really comes in handy on the Signature models. It’s up to your taste and budget which one you pick.

Although we love our high-tech gadgets completely, having them break down on us makes us very mad indeed. Even if it is just the casing that gets damaged, we still want our gadgets to look pristine for sure. Finding an iPhone replacement screen then is a good idea if the front is scratched or cracked and even an iPhone LCD is easy to come by too.

Since these gadgets have become extremely popular, there are many spares to be had on the internet. Indeed, the spares market has opened up many opportunities for entrepreneurs to start-up very successful businesses. By buying them in bulk, they can command excellent prices, even lower than those given by the manufacturers direct, and this eventually gets passed on to the end buyers.

Just putting in spares is a really green way of ensuring that we do not use up all the resources of the world unnecessarily. This means that even those who want to stay as green as possible while using high-tech equipment can do so without feeling guilty.

The plastic that these goods are made from are not biodegradable so they really are difficult to dispose of. Just tossing them in the trash is not really the right thing to do since even the batteries bring with it some bad materials. Indeed, doctors have started to worry about cancerous growths from too much use of mobile phones so we do not yet know how the earth will deal with all this junk being put into it in land fill sites.

It is better, if replacements are possible, to use it until it can no longer function, or give it to someone who can get more life out of it. Some people must have the newest gadget on the market so they rarely know what to do with all this old tech stuff. However, there are charities which take everything they can lay their hands on, technologically speaking, to try to fix them up and sell on to make some extra cash for the cause.

Some charities will actually fix up all kinds of tech gadgets, like computers, laptops and these high-end gadgets, to send-off to third world countries where the young folk cannot lay their hands on them. The cost is too high for them but when they are given something like this, they take care of it until it can no longer function in the normal way. Indeed, they probably appreciate it much more than we do since we have become a throw-away society for sure. Third world countries take recycling to the end degree since they do not know if they will ever get the chance with this kind of equipment again.

Finally, to be politically correct, people really should use their equipment for longer than we usually do. Just changing the spares from time to time to keep it up to scratch is probably the best way that anyone could save money anyway. We all know this makes sense, but will we do this really?
