Laser Scanner for 3-D Lab



Initiative TitleLaser Scanner for 3-D Lab
Submitted in Previous Year(s)No
Critical Information, Notes, Justification, Rationale

A 3-D laser scanner will allow us to scan the shape of an existing object into the computer, where it can be modified and replicated with our 3-D printers. The size of the object can also be changed.  This type of process is an excellent introduction to 3-D printing for students since it does not require extensive knowledge of CAD drafting. 

Consequences of this initiative not being funded

Students will need to learn how to draw an object using CAD software before it can be printed.

The laser scanner will be required for the Digital Sculpture class that we are designing for the Arts curriculum.
