3D Scanning
Desktop 3D Scanner
Makerspace offers an EinScan-SE 3D scanner capable of capturing precise 3D data for various purposes, including design, art, VR and animation, prototyping, and crafting replacement parts.
Handheld 3D scanner
Makerspace’s Einstar handheld 3D scanner is available for anyone wishing to scan larger objects. Similar to the desktop scanner, the EinStar renders objects into 3D data for editing and printing. It can even scan people!
