===== Lecture: 3D Scanning and Printing =====
==== Abstract ====
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
