Einscan 3D Scanner 3D scanners enable you to take a physical object, scan it into a digital format (e.g. the STL file format), and work with the digitized model to create prototypes that are then printed by 3D printers. Once you have a 3D file, send it to us and we'll print it!

The equipment in the iCube fall into 3 usage categories:

• Green = can be used without supervision for DIY projects
• Yellow= Please use during staffed hours assistance with set-up
• Red = requires an appointment with a staff member
