Intro

The 3D Scanning course at a university of applied sciences offers an introduction to the theory and practice of 3D scanning, a technology increasingly used across various fields. The course typically covers different scanning methods, including photogrammetry and 3D scanners, along with software used to process and refine scans. Students learn to scan physical objects and bring them into digital environments, a skill useful for applications in design, gaming, cultural heritage, engineering, and more.
This course is ideal as an introductory course for students interested in fields like digital media, architecture, industrial design, and virtual reality, as well as anyone looking to expand their skills in digital modeling and 3D technology. It provides hands-on experience with tools and techniques that are valuable in both creative and technical industries.

Materials

The learning material consists of a knowledge package and exercises available in Moodle.

Teaching methods and instruction

This virtual course covers the theory and practice of object scanning. The process allows you to scan a physical object and use it in a virtual world.

Students will use 3D scanning and modeling techniques in practical exercises.

Some of the software and equipment used include:

Reality Capture
Luma.ai
Other open-source or otherwise free scanning software

Working life connections

The necessity of 3D scanning has been emphasized in many different fields, and although there is no direct connection, it can be beneficial in various industries.

Exam dates and re-exam possibilities

You can retake the exam in Moodle twice.

Internationality

Courseware is in English.

Completion alternatives

Ths course can be taken via RPL.

Learning assignments

The learning tasks include scanning exercises of physical objects using photogrammetry, or if the student has access to a 3D scanner, they can also use it.

Assessment methods

1 - 50/100 on the exam and a scanned simple object as a project, low-quality scan
3 - 70/100 on the exam and a scanned larger and more complex object as a project, medium-quality scan
5 - 85-100 on the exam and a scanned detailed, more complex object as a project, high-quality scan
