Ants are very tiny, so conventional 3D scanners aren’t really going to do a very good job of capturing the insect geometry.

A new, simple scanning system can create precise 3D models of insects in color. The system uses off-the-shelf equipment, including a camera and a computer, to obtain detailed, true-color 3D images of ...

You know those scientific displays of labelled insects stuck on pins? Well, they decay over time, and sometimes even get eaten by an insect known as the museum beetle. That's why German scientists ...

3D printed models of a wasp (front), a fly (rear), and a series of intermediate mimics generated by 3D morphing. Experts from the University of Nottingham have created life-size 3D-printed insect ...
