The difference between measuring something and proving it will fit. What a dimensional control survey sets out to answer, why the control network matters more than the scanner, and where it pays for itself.
How deformation assessment turns a suspicion into a number you can act on. Why fixed monitoring targets miss whole-structure patterns, and what a six-year comparison on RRS Discovery actually returned.
How the chart is built, and why the awkward vessels are the ones worth scanning. Where ISO and API standards apply, how volume is calculated from a watertight mesh, and what a complete deliverable contains.
What Is an Industrial Digital Twin? A practical guide to the technology, data and systems integration required to move from a visual 3D model to a living digital representation of an industrial facility.
AI-powered 3D modelling tools are evolving rapidly, but can they produce production-ready assets for real-time VR? We put Meshy to the test to evaluate its speed, quality and practical value within a professional development pipeline. Discover where AI delivers significant time savings, where it still falls short, and why a hybrid AI + artist workflow is currently the most effective approach for creating high-performance VR assets.
Discover our first impressions of NVIDIA Omniverse as we explore the transition from Unity to OpenUSD for industrial Digital Twins. Learn about the challenges of FBX workflows, material and animation conversion, scene optimisation, and the best practices we're adopting to build scalable, next-generation 3D applications.
Gaussian Splatting is becoming increasingly accessible. In this comparison, we take a closer look at Meta Horizon Hyperscape and XGRIDS Lixel CyberColor to see how two leading platforms are shaping the future of photorealistic digital environments, reality capture, and digital twins.
