The Matter and Form 3D Scanner can digitize physical objects, then display them as interactive 3D models on your computers. Scanned models can be analyzed, manipulated, and edited with the MFStudio software and exported to programs like TinkerCAD or Sketchup.
Designed to transform beginners to professionals, the V2 is the next evolution of desktop 3D scanning. Unlock design potential with a 3D scanner powered by MFStudio and experience the rewarding feeling of watching your real life objects become digitized before your eyes.
Grades: 9-12

What is a 3D Scanner?
A 3D scanner takes a physical object, measures it, and creates a 3D computer file of it. Think of it as the opposite of a 3D printer, which is something that can print a physical object from a computer file!
3D Scanning in your Classroom: Bring arts, sciences, and technology together with project-based learning using 3D scanning. These diverse applications of 3D scanning help allow for unique, practical methods of inquiry into key disciplinary topics. Children working with 3D printers now have added speed, accuracy, and ownership to extend their ideas further.
Beginner: Scan something you found or made out of modelling clay, then print it on your 3D printer.
Intermediate: Use 3D modelling tools (like TinkerCAD) to modify all your scans, add them to other pieces, and change them in interesting ways.
Problem-Solver: Use your new scanning, designing, and printing skills to solve problems in your community.
MFStudio Software: Your hardware is only as good as the software that runs it. MFStudio was designed over five years with help from its backers and users. It’s a very powerful software tool that helps kids fly through these MakerEd projects with ease. Enjoy total control over the scanning setup and even achieve greater results. Become resourceful and create something spectacular!
+Quickscan: The +Quickscan tech captures geometric features in as fast as 65 seconds! Packaged together with the V2 3D scanner, MFStudio and +Quickscan produce rewarding, fast results that allow you to set up any scan and watch the objects materialize on your screen like magic. You'll find yourself experimenting and learning to master 3D scanning in no time.
3D Printing: The perfect 3D printing companion, the V2 is designed to integrate seamlessly into your workflow. Simply scan, mesh, and export your creations to be used with any 3D printer in the world.
