======3D scanning======
 {{:digital_literacy:technology_resources:3dscanning:microsoftteams-image_copy.png?nolink&300 |}}3D scanners enable you to take a digital scan of a real world.

They work by placing a small object on a turntable, which rotates whilst the scanner throws a beam of light ont the object to digitally "feel" the shape of it,  which is then recorded and compiled to and turn the 'real' object into a digital object.  Examples of ways digital objects created by an 3D scanner could be used include scanning historical items for inclusion in an online virtual gallery, digital oObjects for use in Virtual Reality, digital objects for use in 360 video production, and many more.

The scanner is easy and safe to use and produces high quality scans in fine detail.
