# 3D Scanner

The 3D scanner is a great tool to scan real-life objects and produce .OBJ (printable) files, or textured .OBJ files that can be used in animations and video game development.\
\
Our main 3D scanner is a Revopoint Pop 3. This is a consumer grade scanner that can scan most handheld objects well using camera technology. However, this means it cannot scan black objects or reflective ones (IE: metal). We also have a Pop 2 scanner as a backup.

**You will need the** [**Revo Scan**](https://www.revopoint3d.com/pages/support-download) **application on your personal PC to use the 3D Scanner.**
