Matter and Form

The Matter and Form is a 3D scanner that quickly measures physical objects and turns them into digital 3D models for fabrication using any 3D printer. It’s laser-based and, when shining its laser at something, it captures thousands of data points from the laser that’s hitting the object, including its surface detail, distance from the camera, texture, and color.

The Matter and Form 3D scanner is a tool well suited for older students who want to bring more complex objects into their virtual toolbox quickly and easily. In this hands-on edition of the Eduporium Experiment, we will explore the imaging resolution of the Matter and Form 3D scanner. We’ll cover some of the most important information for you here!
