ENGT 201 3D Scanning and Printing

In this course, students will learn the basic principles of 3D scanning and printing. This course will introduce students to the tools and techniques required to use 3D scanners for inspection, reverse engineering, and other applications. Students will also gain hands-on experience operating scanners, processing scan data with software tools, and converting scan data to printable 3D models. Students will explore the entire cycle from an original artifact to a scan-based model to a reproduction part.
