3D scanning is a practical tool for STEM education, engineering programs, research labs, technical training, design, digital fabrication, and hands-on learning.
Students and researchers can use 3D scanners to capture physical objects and turn them into digital models for CAD, analysis, reverse engineering, documentation, prototyping, and experimentation.
