When Bre Pettis unveiled MakerBot's Digitizer, you couldn't wipe the smile off his face. And, upon opening our own unit, it's easy to understand why. When you lift the plastic unit, swaddled in black ...

3D printing pioneer MakerBot is on a mission to make it easier and more affordable to create all sorts of objects, one extruded layer at a time. But being able to print in three dimensions isn't worth ...

There are a few major obstacles in the way of 3-D printing's imminent mainstream success: affordability, easy-to-use hardware, and easy-to-design objects. The MakerBot Digitizer isn’t exactly cheap -- ...

MakerBot founder Bre Pettis today announced the Digitizer Desktop 3D Scanner prototype it intends to sell alongside its Replicator 3D printers. The scanner uses a combination of cameras and lasers to ...

Digitizers used for capturing both low-speed and high-speed signals need to match their inputs to the fixed input range of their ADC (analog to digital converter). They must minimize loading of the ...

Three-dimensional scanner that scans solid object and converts it into data ... This is because 3D printer that reads data and becomes three-dimensional is lowered to the price range that individuals ...

The 10 bit digitizer family offers a dependable balance of speed, resolution and configurability — making it a solid fit for teams that need reliable high-speed capture without unnecessary complexity.

When I was a kid I was amazed by advances in technology. I went to a friend’s house when I was in fifth grade and his father had a PC – an IBM PC, I believe – with a built-in hard drive. We loaded ...

A digitizer is an electronic acquisition device that acquires analog waveforms, processes them through analog-to-digital converters (ADC’s) and sends the digitized sample to a buffer, which allows ...

Some source/measure unit (SMU) products support a feature called “digitizer mode.” However, from the title alone it is not obvious exactly what this feature means. This capability is related to the ...
