3D Scanning, Modeling, & Printing
The R&ID team supports students’ use of 3D scanning, modeling, and printing for both academic and non-academic projects. These technologies allow a student to transform an idea into a physical form rapidly with limited resources. Students learn to create physical objects from digital models using a range of 3D modeling and printing technologies.
