Together, we will work to explore 3D scanning to document and preserve objects that hold personal and artistic significance. In this hands-on workshop, led by Digital Matters Graduate Fellow Pablo Cruz-Ayala (MFA Student, Studio Art), participants will learn to use Polycam, a versatile application tool, to capture and digitize objects that can be manipulated, stored, and even 3D printed.
