3D Scanning

EinScan 3D Scanner

Intro to 3D Scanning

3D scanners are tools that allow users to create 3D models of real-world objects. By using infrared or visible light, they are able to "look" at objects that are placed in front of their sensors to determine the exact shape of the object. After scanning, objects can be saved as files which can then be used for things such as 3D printing or prototyping.

EinScan Pro 2X 3D Scanner

EinScan Pro 2X 3D scanner uses visible light to scan objects as opposed to infrared. The rotating plate can also be removed to allow for taller objects to be scanned. When done this way, the object must be manually turned.

What not to scan

  • Transparent objects like glass
  • Shiny or reflective objects
  • Dark colored objects
  • Fuzzy objects
