Canada's Most Trusted 3D Scanning Partner, 3DS Technologies, Provides Unparalleled Power, Precision, and Proven Expertise
The team at 3DS Technologies, led by President Travis Sachs, is leading the 3D scanning industry in Canada with proven technology for streamlining the digitization process for plant managers, engineering teams, construction firms, and more. Sachs, a licensed millwright with expertise in electrical, maintenance, and project management, built his company to be more than a mere scanning company. 3DS Technologies surpasses the traditions of 3D scanning to be a precision partner with a hands-on understanding of what is truly needed for a project to be successful.
Sachs has direct experience with working in plants as a millwright, maintenance planner, and capital project manager, and his inside perspective is what sets 3DS Technologies apart. 'We have been on the project management side. We know what data matters and what does not. Other providers rely on the data itself. We make sure the data actually makes sense and fits your needs. No guessing. No assumptions. Just complete, precise data every time,' said Sachs.
The team at 3DS Technologies realizes that clients can buy their own scanners, but a decent scanner can cost six figures. Adding in the cost of software, training, calibration, and upgrades makes having a scanner on-hand nearly impossible. 3DS Technologies takes these challenges out of the equation and adds in an expert staff and leading edge technology such as P30, RTC360, BLK360, GoScan, drones, and mobile systems like VLX and Xgrids. This enables clients to take advantage of perfect scans executed by trained professionals. 'The biggest mistake is thinking anyone can just grab a scanner and get reliable data. It is easy until something goes wrong. Bad data is worse than no data. The point of scanning is to get it right, the first time, without guesswork. That is what we do,' said Sachs.
Plus, 3DS Technologies is always on top of the market. For example, 3D laser scanning versus new technologies such as Gaussian splatting are being debated, and Sachs and his team have weighed in. At the end of the day, they love the visuals of the Guassian splatting but don't find it suitable for engineering-level work. According to their team, 3D laser scanning is still the gold standard, although other technologies can be leveraged at the right time. For example, a recent global manufacturing client needed to scan a facility with 60-foot ceilings, tight racking, and no safe way to manually measure. 3DS Technologies used 3D scanning and drone photogrammetry to capture hard-to-access areas and generate accurate documentation.
'Let 3DS Technologies be the experts at what we do so you can focus on what you do best,' said Sachs. To learn more about 3DS Technologies' 3D scanning, CAD modeling, and aerial visualization solutions, visit https://3dstechnologies.com/.

Carney ‘disappointed' in Trump's 35% tariff on Canada
Prime Minister Mark Carney says he is 'disappointed' by U.S. President Donald Trump's imposition of a 35 per cent tariff on Canada but that even with that move, Canada still faces among the lowest average tariff rates of U.S. trading partners because of CUSMA. 'While the Canadian government is disappointed by this action, we remain committed to CUSMA, which is the world's second-largest free trade agreement by trading volume,' Carney wrote in a letter posted on X early Friday. 'The U.S. application of CUSMA means that the U.S. average tariff rate on Canadian goods remains one of its lowest for all of its trading partners.' Carney cautioned that other sectors remain heavily impacted due to industry-specific tariffs, including on lumber, steel, aluminum and automobiles. 'For such sectors, the Canadian government will act to protect Canadian jobs, invest in our industrial competitiveness, buy Canadian, and diversify our export markets,' Carney wrote. Story continues below advertisement The letter was posted just hours after Trump signed an executive order that would raise his tariffs on Canada to 35 per cent starting midnight Friday. The White House confirmed that goods under the Canada-U.S.-Mexico agreement (CUSMA) on free trade will remain exempt from the higher tariff. The White House added that goods transshipped through other countries to avoid the 35 per cent tariff will instead be charged a tariff of 40 per cent. 4:17 New poll sheds light on how Canadians feel about tariff negotiations with the United States Canada-U.S. Trade Minister Dominic LeBlanc is in Washington, D.C., this week for ongoing negotiations.

Story continues below advertisement Trump, in an interview with NBC News on Thursday after announcing new rates for his reciprocal tariffs, said that even though the duties would stay in place, 'it doesn't mean that somebody doesn't come along in four weeks and say we can make some kind of a deal.' The 35 per cent tariff is an increase from the 25 per cent duty that was levied by Trump earlier this year over what he has described as opioid trafficking and border security issues with Canada. Trump has long contended that Canada has failed to combat the flow of fentanyl across the two countries' shared border. But in the months since the tariff was imposed, Canada has boosted border security and hired a fentanyl czar to oversee its federal strategy against the deadly opioid. Carney defended Canada's efforts in his letter, saying the country has made 'historic investments' and would continue to work with the U.S. to stop the 'scourge of fentanyl.' 'The United States has justified its most recent trade action on the basis of the cross-broder flow of fentanyl, despite the fact that Canada accounts for only one per cent of U.S. fentanyl imports and has been working intensively to further reduce these volumes,' the prime minister wrote. The number cited by Carney is backed by annual drug seizure statistics from the U.S. Customs and Border Protection agency, which shows that while about one per cent of all fentanyl seized at U.S. borders comes from Canada, the vast majority comes from Mexico. Story continues below advertisement 2:37 Trump frustrated with India trade talks, thinks 25% tariffs will help: Haslett Seizures did, however, shoot up to 11 and 14 kilograms in April and May, respectively, but dropped to one kilogram in June. The prime minister went on in his letter to reiterate comments he's made in recent weeks that the federal government would continue to negotiate with the U.S., but would focus on 'building Canada strong.' He cited work by Ottawa and the provincial and territorial governments to cut interprovincial trade barriers, and plans for 'nation-building projects' — two key goals of the Liberal government since it was re-elected in April. 'Canadians will be our own best customer, creating more well-paying careers at home, as we strengthen and diversify our trading partners throughout the world,' Carney said. Trump raised new concerns about whether a trade deal would be made with Canada when he said Canada's decision to recognize a Palestinian state would make it 'very hard' to reach an agreement. He later said on Thursday that the decision was 'not a dealbreaker,' but when asked about the talks, said, 'We'll see.'

Canada's growth advantage disappears
Daily roundup of research and analysis from The Globe and Mail's market strategist Scott Barlow BMO chief economist Doug Porter noticed that Canada's economic growth advantage over the U.S. is now gone, 'There were lots of moving parts in Canada's monthly GDP report, and thus a little bit for everyone. For the pessimists, there was confirmation that the Canadian economy pulled back for the second month in a row in May (with 0.1-per-cent dips). For the optimists, there was the fact that the economy is estimated to have started growing again in June (up 0.1 per cent), and the fact that output was roughly unchanged in Q2—a much less dire outcome than many expected at the start of the quarter. For the realists, there is the fact that Canada's underlying growth rate has retreated to back below 1.5 per cent year-over-year. That's after a brief, albeit glorious, spell when Canadian growth had managed to outpace the U.S. over a four-quarter period (to 2025 Q1), even poking up to 2.3 per cent year-over-year at that time. Given that 1.5 per cent is the neighbourhood that the BoC pegs potential growth, recent trends confirm that slack is opening up. 'BMO: 'Canada's Growth Outperformance: Gone, gone, gone'' – Bluesky *** Public cloud computing is expanding at a tremendous clip and Scotiabank analyst Patrick Colville offered top picks to benefit from the trend, 'Public cloud results in 2Q25 were strong, with all three hyperscalers beating consensus and reaccelerating sequentially. It's very clear that AI is driving this reacceleration, but qualitative commentary on traditional public cloud was also quite upbeat this quarter. As a result, we see the read through as positive to our consumption software names - Datadog, Snowflake, MongoDB, and Elastic. In our coverage we rate DDOG as our 'Top Offensive Pick', and we have MDB as our 'Be Cautious Call' … We estimate aggregate public cloud revenue growth in 2Q 2025 of 27 per cent accelerated an incredible 295 bps from 1Q. This is highly impressive given these businesses' massive scale and what we would classify as a slightly choppy macro backdrop for IT budgets based on our CIO work. Microsoft posted a jaw dropping quarter, where Azure revenue growth accelerated to 39 per cent due to strength in both AI and traditional workloads. Google Cloud Platform and Amazon Web Services growth also accelerated nicely' *** Futurism reports that someone gave Chat GPT $100 to invest and it generated a 25-per-cent return in a month, 'In a post on r/Dataisbeautiful, the Redditor in question — real name Nathan Smith — described his project as a '6-month experiment to see how a language model performs in picking small, [under-covered] stocks with only a $100 budget.' According to a chart shared on Reddit, this literal gamble is already paying off. Using GPT-4o, one of OpenAI's most advanced models, the bot-trader's stock portfolio has increased in value by 25 percent over its first month — though given that Smith only invested $100, that means he's only made $25 so far. What's more, that rise was significantly higher than two 'small-cap' stock indexes, the Russell 2000 and XBI — in fact, the S&P 500 is up less than 3 percent over the past month — which suggests that ChatGPT very much picked correctly … To be fair, this is far from the first time someone's attempted such a gambit. Last December, researchers from Germany's Duisburg–Essen University published a paper in the journal Finance Research Letters finding that advanced OpenAI models did indeed seem to select money-making stocks. In an interview with Morningstar in June, meanwhile, University of Florida assistant finance professor Alejandro Lopez-Lira said that over years of simulating stock selection, ChatGPT wasn't all that great' Money compounded at 25 per cent per month grows FAST.

Canada shouldn't 'bend the knee' to Trump after tariffs: Windsor, Ont., mayor
Social Sharing Drew Dilkens says Canada is not some "junior partner" in its political dealings with the U.S. Dilkens is the border-city mayor in Windsor, Ont., which represents a large portion of the country's auto manufacturing. He says he supports Prime Minister Mark Carney and is hopeful a deal can be reached. This follows an overnight executive order by U.S. President Donald Trump's administration that tariffs were being increased to 35 per cent on Canadian goods. "The U.S. application of CUSMA means that the U.S. average tariff rate on Canadian goods remains one of its lowest for all of its trading partners," Carney said in a statement. "Other sectors of our economy — including lumber, steel, aluminum and automobiles — are, however, heavily impacted by U.S. duties and tariffs." Dilkens says Trump is trying to bring all of Canada — and certainly the country's auto capital — to its knees. "Do not bend the knee," he said. "We will get through this. We have been through dark times before. We have gone through the peaks and valleys that we see in manufacturing and automotive from time to time." Dilkens says although the people in the Windsor region don't want to see another financial collapse, he's also confident the pathway forward is one where everyone can live well and prosper. "These are things we can't control, and that's part of the problem here. These continued changes of tariff rates cause uncertainty. Uncertainty causes people to in my community to start saving for the rainy day and to put money aside." WATCH | Live tariff coverage from CBC News: Trump hikes tariffs: What's next for Canada? 3 hours ago Prime Minister Mark Carney issued a statement overnight expressing disappointment with U.S. President Donald Trump's decision to increase tariffs to 35 per cent on items not covered by the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement. The move has raised questions about what's next for the Canadian economy as these increasingly broad tariffs reshape global trade. Dilkens says pressure is starting to rise across the border in the U.S., and that's why Trump is talking about giving Americans rebate cheques because of the tariffs. "He's trying to buy some political time here. We need the time to find the pathway that's going to allow everyone to continue making great vehicles in all three countries, because we've been doing a great job for decades now, and we've proven that the free trade agreements that we have in place have worked to the benefit and the success of all three countries."
