This module covers the major technologies available for 3D Scanning and 3D Printing. Practical examples for each are given, explaining which technology is better suited for reverse-engineering and production at different scale.

The assigment includes:

• build your own 3D Scanner
• use the scanning software to acquire a 3D model and print it
• design and print a 3D model which cannot be made subtractively

• 3D FDM Printer, 3D SLS Printer
• PLA Filament, Resin
• 3D Scanner such as Kinect, 3d Sense, or self-build i.e. Cyclops scanner
