Maker Hub’s ‘Tool Tip Friday’: 3D Scanner

Thursday, November 11th, 2021

Did you know that the Maker Hub has two 3D scanners? The Maker Hub has two Artec 3D Scanners: Spider and Eva.

The Spider model uses blue light technology and is perfect for capturing intricate details of large industrial objects, or high-resolution images of small objects such as molding parts, PCBs, keys, and coins.

The second 3D scanner, the Eva model, uses light scanning technology and is ideal for a quick, textured and accurate 3D model of medium-sized objects such as an alloy wheel or a motorcycle exhaust system. It is the perfect scanner for objects of almost any kind, including objects with black and shiny surfaces.

Check out these videos on the Spider and Eva models to see how they work!

The Maker Hub exists as a resource and creative outlet for the entire George Fox community (yes, including non-engineers!). We are looking for student aces. A student ace is simply an expert on a piece of equipment who helps train other students on the usage of that equipment and gains extra privileges within the Maker Hub.

Please email makerhub@georgefox.edu if you would like to get connected or have any questions.
