Learn the basics of 3D scanning and its underlying technology!

*Scholarships available

Class Description

This 1-day class covers the basics of 3D scanning and the underlying technology. Students will have the opportunity to scan each other, a friend, or objects they bring in. We’ll go over scanning limitations and applications for scanned models. After a short break, we’ll import our scans into Blender, a free and wonderful 3D computer graphics platform. We’ll learn about meshes and many Blender features, and edit our models to make them suitable for 3D printing. This class is intended for everyone - from folks with no scanning, or modeling experience, to people with experience in either of these disciplines.
