3D scan

3D-Scanner des FabLab Konstanz
[Translate to Englisch:] Mitarbeiter des Max-Planck-Instituts beim 3D-Scannen.

A 3D scanner can be used to digitise real objects, which can then be further processed. One of the possible applications is reverse engineering. Here, for example, defective/damaged components are scanned so that they can then be restored to their original design. However, the data obtained can be used in a variety of ways and can also be a useful basis for further processes in the FabLab. For example, the generated files can be produced using a 3D printer or projected as a hologram in the room using our Microsoft HoloLens 2. 

The FabLab has three 3D scanners. These differ in the following points:

  • possible scan volume
  • type of data acquisition

This results in different application possibilities in some cases. We will be happy to provide you with further information in the FabLab.
