Educational Tools and Resources for Engineering and Manufacturing Programs
Complete 3D Scanning Equipment Education Suite for Teachers and Research | Add Creaform ACADEMIA to your arsenal of 3D Equipment and prepare Engineering, Manufacturing, and Design students to work on real-world applications.
3D measurement system manufacturer Creaform has announced the addition of the ACADEMIA 20 3D scanner to its educational product portfolio.
Designed specifically for use within the classroom, the ACADEMIA 20 is optimized for scanning small parts, and makes 3D printing them as easy as possible for teachers and students. When used alongside Creaform’s existing software suite, the scanner provides educators with a hands-on training tool, this enables them to demo the technology’s R&D, reverse engineering and inspection applications.
“It is of the utmost importance that students be prepared for today’s demanding engineering sectors, including aerospace, automotive and manufacturing industries,” said Daniel Brown, Product Management Director at Creaform. “Our ACADEMIA educational solution suite is a clear path to achieve that goal, especially as universities and colleges increasingly offer more programs specialized in additive manufacturing.”
Creaform’s Educational Equipment Suite
On the education front, the company offers ACADEMIA, which includes a full suite of 3D applications, that give students all the tools they need to address their first engineering projects. Creaform’s digital package also provides adopters with unlimited access to complementary teaching materials, covering scanning, reverse engineering and inspection, that are in-line with industry standards.
Elsewhere within its education-oriented portfolio, the firm markets its accessible ACADEMIA 10 and ACADEMIA 50 3D scanners. The lightweight, portable devices are purpose-built for use by students and researchers, and with the launch of the ACADEMIA 20, Creaform is effectively now offering these users a slightly larger but more accurate alternative.
NEW | Introducing the ACADEMIA 20
Creaform’s latest 3D scanner has been built to provide users with precision, accuracy and ultimately ease-of-use. Within a scanning area of 143 x 108 mm, the ACADEMIA 20 is capable of capturing details up to 0.1 mm in size, putting it on a par with the ACADEMIA 50, and making it more accurate than the 0.25mm-capable ACADEMIA 10. In terms of recommended part size, the ACADEMIA 20 is able to scan objects anywhere from 0.05m up to 5m in size, potentially enabling teachers to demonstrate engineering tasks on a real-world scale. At 0.95 kg in weight, and with dimensions of 154 x 178 x 235 mm, the new scanner is also larger than its predecessors but generally remains light, portable, and small enough for academics to move from class-to-class. As an added benefit, Creaform is offering its new scanner in multiple bundles, allowing educators to customize their package to best meet the needs of their individual class, and teaching style. Customers can choose anything from one to fifty ‘seats’ of the ACADEMIA software suite, plus a one-to-five year care plan and a selection of free teaching kits.
