We offer our users a 3D scanner self-study course on Mondays at 10.00 and 13.00. The course is scheduled for 45 minutes or as required. Completion of the course will enable you to use the 3D scanner independently in the CTK Creative Workshop with professional technical support from our experts.
3D scanning is a process by which a desired object can be digitised or captured on a computer. The digitised object can be used for dimensional inspection, reverse engineering, rapid prototyping, 3D printing, 3D visualisation and archiving.
In the Creation Room we use the Einscan-SE 3D scanner, which allows us to capture an object with a resolution of up to 0.1 mm and a size of up to 200 mm3. Since the scanning is done by projecting light rays onto the scanned object, it must not be too dark or reflective (which is solved by simply painting the object).
The 3D scanner is most often used for irregularly shaped objects that are not ideal for replication via 3D software.
Is prior knowledge of 3D scanning required?
No prior knowledge of 3D scanning is required to attend the course.
Is there anything I can bring to the 3D scan?
Yes, of course, but provided the object does not exceed a size greater than 200 mm3.
Do I need to bring anything with me?
No, all the equipment and supplies are provided by the CTK Workshop.
Can I 3D print a scanned object?
Yes, you can print your 3D object on our 3D printer.
Are there any prerequisites for the course?
Yes, CTK membership is a prerequisite for attending the course.
Is the course completely free for CTK members?
Yes. The course is free for CTK members.
Number of students?
The number of students is limited to 3 persons.
Who is the course suitable for?
The course is suitable for complete beginners as well as for those who already have some knowledge and would like to improve their skills.
