3D Scanning

You can use our Artec Space Spider 3D scanner to turn an object into a digital file, and then print duplicates at various scales using our 3D printers. You can also import models into CAD software or 3D modeling software like Blender.

Use the button below to schedule a time to use the scanner with the Emerging and Immersive Technology Librarian, Karl.
