Common Uses

Makers of all types can find uses for SOL in their creative efforts, but the the most common uses are to recreate an object in a new size or material or use a scan of an existing object to “tweak” it or as a reference item for a new 3D model. These two workflows are referred to as:

Scan-to-print (Learn More) - In this case, the focus is on allowing users to create a duplicate or replica of an object easily. The scan will primarily be used for importing into a 3D printing program (slicer) and then output to a scanner. The object may be scaled up or down prior to printing, depending on the user’s needs.

Scan-to-model (Learn More)- This workflow is about using a scan as a starting point or reference object for more complex 3D modeling. Users will create a scan and then import the OBJ or STL file into their modeling software of choice. Once imported, they can use the scan as an 'outline' of the model they wish to create or incorporate the scan into other work projects.
