Next Engine 3d Scanner
We have a structured light scanner from Next Engine. It’s not as precise/good as other 3d-scanning methods but is vastly more cost effective. If you’re away from the lab, here’s a pdf of their working manual that will help get you started.
An Xbox Kinect is also available in the lab for scanning purposes
Band Saw
We own a JET 14″ Bandsaw. Make sure you ask for help if you’ve never used a bandsaw before. Manual Here
