Makerspace: 3D Scanning

We collaborate with the CT Scanner Facility on campus for special rates for simplified scans for printing.  Book at CTScanner for 2 hrs per sample scan and STL file of real geometry of parts.  

3D scanning is a method that is used to convert physical objects into a digital format.

Makerspace offers a 3D scanning service that is free of charge to students, faculty, and staff.

You can make an appointment with a Makerspace staff member for assistance with 3D scanning.

Steps to follow for 3D Scanning

Step 1: Make an appointment by following the link to book the 3D Scanning workstation.

Step 2: when a student wants to use the 3D Scanner, they will only be allowed to use it after proper training by one of the Makerspace staff members.

Step 3: Bring a storage device for storing the digital files of the scanned object, or use FileSender. 

Schedule one-on-one sessions for more information on 3D Scanning or equipment, tools or design support. Select the Online Appointment tab to get started.
