Members of the MakerSpace in the Garching Entrepreneurship Center two new 3D scanners from Artec 3D available.
Phill Handy, Managing Director of MakerSpace, comments on the new addition:
"Artec's handheld 3D scanners are exactly what we needed and perfectly round out our product portfolio. They're handy and easy to use, delivering high quality—making them a perfect fit for our needs."
Precise 3D models in any size
The scanners enable the creation of 3D models of any size: The device guides the user through the scanning process with a few questions about the properties of the scanned object and the type of 3D model desired. The Artec Studio 11 software then deletes unwanted data, automatically aligns the scan with a click of a mouse, and selects the most effective 3D algorithm for the data at hand. The result: a highly precise 3D model that offers the same quality as a model created by experienced users. To support the seamless integration of 3D scans into the CAD workflow, Artec Studio 11 is integrated with various CAD programs.
The "Space Spider" features automatic temperature regulation, weighs 850 grams, and scans objects with an accuracy of up to 50 micrometers and a resolution of up to 100 micrometers. The handheld 3D scanner "Artec Eva" is particularly suitable for digitizing larger, organically shaped objects in great detail. Eva scans even moving objects in real time at up to 16 frames per second. Both scanners provide color and shape information based on light stripe projection.
MakerSpace seeks the exchange of ideas
The 1,500-square-meter MakerSpace offers a machine shop, metalworking shop, and woodworking workshops, as well as textile and electrical processing. 3D printers, laser cutters, and waterjet cutters can be used to create new shapes and process all materials. Use of the MakerSpace requires a paid membership and a half-day introductory course for each machine. Phill Handy emphasizes a diverse audience at the MakerSpace:
“It’s about the exchange of ideas between people, regardless of which company they work for, whether they are still studying or are simply interested.”
