3D Scanning Studio
Building: D. H. Hill Jr. Library
Floor: Second Floor, West Wing
Rooms: 2322
In Spring 2021, the 3D Scanning Studio is closed for reservations in accordance with NC State's Protect the Pack Guidelines.
If you have an instructional or academic need for 3D scanning technology, you can request a technology consultation for assistance from staff working with these 3D scanning spaces and devices.
The 3D Scanning Studio provides support for multiple methods for digitizing physical objects of varying size, producing 3D models that can be used for 3D printing, game design, virtual and augmented reality projects, and more. The Studio supports 3D scanning, which uses laser or light distortion to construct a 3D model of an object, and photogrammetry, a method by which many photos of an object from different angles are combined in software to create a 3D composite. These methods and tools are useful to many disciplines at NC State, including anatomy, archaeology, engineering, plant biology, public history, and more.
