Overview
This 12-week micro credential provides a practical introduction to 3D scanning technologies, aimed at entry-level to intermediate learners with some prior exposure to CAD, GIS, or 3D printing. Designed to fill a growing skills gap in technical fields, the course equips participants with the knowledge and hands-on experience needed to capture, analyze, and model 3D data effectively. It supports both technicians looking to enhance their capabilities and decision-makers seeking to select the most appropriate scanning technologies for their specific industry needs. Learners will explore a range of scanning methods, including Structured Light, LiDAR, Laser Scanning, and Photogrammetry, while working through real-world, project-based scenarios. By the end of the course, participants will be able to confidently integrate 3D scanning into their existing technical toolkit—an increasingly valuable asset across a variety of industries including manufacturing, construction, design, and cultural heritage.
