3D Scanning & Photogrammetry

Turn a real object — a garment, a medal, a room — into a 3D file you can print or drop into a scene.

ToolsScaniverse (LiDAR capture) · Kiri Engine (photogrammetry) · Gaussian splatting · Meshy (image → 3D) · Blender · Bambu print pipeline

What it is

Bring something with you. In two hours it becomes a 3D file: captured with a phone, cleaned up, and handed on to whatever comes next — a printer, a render, a virtual fitting, a game engine.

We cover both ways in. LiDAR capture with Scaniverse is fast and forgiving and handles rooms and people; photogrammetry with Kiri Engine takes longer and rewards you with detail, which is why the Humanist Award medal — a clay relief the lab scanned for the Skin Tones project — went that route. Gaussian splatting is there for anyone who wants the photoreal version rather than the printable one. Then the unglamorous, decisive part: cleanup in Blender, and getting a file the printer will actually accept.

What you leave with

A clean 3D scan of an object you brought with you, ready for the printer or for a scene.

Who it is for

This one is open to FIT faculty and students alike. Set aside 2 hours.

Dates

Seat counts are the size of the room, not a live count of who has signed up — if a session has filled, it says so below. Dates are set by the lab and can move.

  1. · 2pm–4pm FRS Lab · 10 seats

    Bring one object no larger than a shoebox, and a phone with room on it.

  2. · 2pm–4pm FRS Lab · 10 seats
  3. · 2pm–4pm FRS Lab · 10 seats

Want it for your class?

This one runs again whenever there is a room and a reason. If the dates above do not work, or you want it built around a course you are teaching, say so — and if what you are after is not in the catalogue at all, say that instead. Both start the same way.
