3D Printing & Imaging
If you’re a maker, 3d printing is an incredibly useful tool to have in your arsenal. Not only can it help bring your projects to life faster, but it can also offer unique results that would be difficult (or impossible!) to achieve with traditional methods. In these blog posts, we’ll provide you with some essential information and tips regarding 3D printing for makers—including the basics of how to get started, plus creative tutorials for spicing up your projects. Whether you’re already familiar with 3d printing or are just starting out, these resources will help take your game-making skills even further!

3D-Body Scanning With Joey Hudy
Joey Hudy returns to Maker Faire to present his senior project at ASU-HYSA: a full-body 3D scanner. It works by rotating a person on a small wooden platform while a stepper motor raises and lowers a PrimeSense kinect clone so it can scan your entire body using Skanect software. It generates a array of dots and then creates the mesh from the dots.
