| NVision HandHeld Scanner Reduces Diesel Engine Modeling Time From 2 Years To 2 Months |
| Cameron Compression Systems used NVision HandHeld laser scanners to produce a solid model of an existing large engine in one-tenth of the time that would have been required using conventional methods. "It would have taken several years to re-engineer the large diesel engine block pan and heads using a coordinate measuring machine (CMM)," said Greg Obets, Manager, Engineering Systems, for Cameron. |

| Scanning Technique Reveals Fossils in 3D |
Some of the best-preserved fossils in the world are found in the mineral siderite, or iron carbonate, which can form around an organism as it begins to decay. If the siderite formation happens early enough, the organism won’t be compacted, and millions of years later at sites like Mazon Creek in Illinois, exquisite three-dimensional fossils will be uncovered.

| Scary Ancient 'Spiders' Revealed In 3D Models, With New Imaging Technique |
Early relatives of spiders that lived around 300 million years ago are revealed in new three-dimensional models, in research published August 5 in the journal Biology Letters. Scientists at Imperial College London have created detailed 3D computer models of two fossilised specimens of ancient creatures called Cryptomartus hindi and Eophrynus prestvicii, closely related to modern-day spiders.
