Digitizer: A digitizer is a device that is used to convert analog data into digital form or, simply put, a series of dots that can be read by a computer, stored, and later manipulated using appropriate software.
Digitizer makes 3D scanning accessible, but not yet practical. 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 foam, out of its cardboard box, you feel like you're stepping into the future. 3D scanning isn't exactly new, but the allure hasn't worn off yet.
