3D Scanning (MakerSpace)

This service utilises an Einstar 3D Scanner at ATU MakerSpace to provide high-accuracy scanning for prototyping, reverse engineering, and digital preservation. The Einstar is a structured light scanner offering fine detail and colour capture, with a scanning range of 160–1400 mm and accuracy up to 0.1 mm.

What to Expect

Example: A company wishing to reproduce or modify a legacy component can scan the item to generate a digital 3D model.

The scanner can also digitise sculptures, heritage objects, or organic forms for use in archives, replications, or virtual environments.

Target Sectors

All SME sectors, with a focus on manufacturing, product design, heritage conservation, and the creative industries.

What to Expect

The service starts with a half-day on-site consultation at ATU MakerSpace in Sligo to demonstrate the scanner and discuss requirements.
Each project includes scanning, data processing, and generation of a usable 3D file format.

Scanning and post-processing will be completed within two days, depending on complexity.

Takeaway

You will gain an understanding of 3D scanning techniques and receive a high-quality digital model suitable for further design, analysis, or reproduction.
