Interested in exploring 3D scanning, but not sure where to start? This workshop will provide an overview and demonstration of various approaches, from DIY Kinect to structured light and handheld laser scanners. Participants will have the opportunity to have their faces scanned, and learn to clean up and sculpt the file to prepare it for 3D printing, using free and/or open source software.
