SERVICES
-
For face and body scanning, I use an Einstar Rockit or Einstar 2 scaner. These have a point distance down to 0.2mm.
These scanners are portable and I can provide on-site scanning services if needed, or scan at our studio on the Lower East Side. We have a private townhouse floor to use for body scanning sessions.
-
I can scan sculptures, designed objects, mechanical parts, or cars/bikes/motorbikes, using Einstar (Rockit/Rigil) or Revopoint (MetroY) scanners.
I am happy to provide raw scan data, or work with you to scale your object up or down. I can provide ZBrush cleanup and assist with preparing the file for digital fabrication using 3D printing or CNC milling.
-
Do you have an object that you need to replace? Maybe you can no longer buy the part off the shelf, or you want to create a perfect replica of a manufactured object that needs to function or fit other parts.
I can scan the object for you, which is one step in the copying process, but if you need a clean, functional 3D model, your scan may need to be reverse-engineered (i.e. traced in a 3D modeling program). I partner with experienced CAD designers who can reverse-engineer my scan file in Rhino or SolidWorks.
Please note that this process is more cost-effective if you need to produce a number of objects, or if you plan to sell them.
-
I partner with skilled ZBrush artists to smooth, sculpt and restore detail to 3D scan files.
-
Do you have a file that you want to 3D print, but that contains errors? I can use Netfabb and Fusion360 to analyse and repair your model, to ensure that it passes upload checks succesfully and prints well, or advise on redesign.
-
I partner with experienced CAD modelers to create 3D models for product design. We can facilitate 3D printing for prototypes and design iterations, and/or create files for injection molding.
-
I'm a sculptor myself, and have completed several public art projects including a life-sized bronze statue for a New York City Park.
We can advise on the whole scope of a large-scale digital fabrication project, including budgeting, vendor selection, preparing 3D files for 3D printing for metal casting, and more.
Expert guidance at this stage can save many thousands of dollars down the line.
About
Sophie Kahn, the founder and owner of ScannerWorks NY, has been using 3D scanners and 3D printers since 2003. She is a sculptor who uses 3D scanning, 3D printing and bronze casting in her own public artworks, which have been commissioned by the NYC Parks Department, Google, Lincoln Center, and others. She also works as the Director of 3D Scanning at Artfit 3D.
ScannerWorks is woman-owned and operated (NYC M/WBE registration pending).
ScannerWorks now operates from the offices of Artfit Technologies on the Lower East Side.
