MetroX Pro 3D Scanner

A 3D scanner can turn a real-world object into a 3D model which can then be 3D printed. This is especially useful for recreating one of a kind objects and replicating objects without any 3D modeling skills.

In order to scan your object, expect to leave it at the library for up to two weeks.  If you would like your object to be printed, please see our 3D printing policies.

Funding for the 3D scanner was provided in part by Friends of KPL.
