The Lux Lab is only open for academic requests personal projects will not be considered. “Doug is easy-going, highly knowledgeable, and extremely dedicated to helping students with their academic projects,” said Zhang. Both O’Fallon and Zhang highlighted the helpfulness of Lux Lab staff, who are eager to make the entire process straightforward and enjoyable. Graduate student in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, Sean O’Fallon, said he learned best practices for preparing objects for scanning and picked up some basic Adobe Illustrator skills in preparation for a file to be laser cut. While most Lab equipment is operated by Doug or his team of trained student employees, there is still plenty of room for observing and learning. Lionel Zhang, a graduate student in Mechanical Engineering, shared that his favorite Lux Lab creation was a mount for a camera using Formslab Fuse SLS printer, adding that it had “very tight tolerances, which would have been difficult to achieve on a budget 3D printer.”Īligning with the UCLA Library’s teaching and learning-driven mission, the Lux Lab provides educational experiences for students eager to learn more about 3D printing and accompanying skills.

“We encourage all UCLA students, faculty, and staff to utilize this suite of emerging technology services that are allowed to use for academic projects, free of charge,” said Lux Lab Director Doug Daniels. This lab is home to a fleet of MakerBot printers, as well as Artec 3D scanners. The Research Library location is on the first floor, next to the group study pods. Powell Library’s third-floor Lux Lab is home to the laser etcher, as well as Formlabs and Lulzbot printers. The Lux Lab is a maker service with locations in both the Charles E. Young Research Library and Powell Library that features emerging technology services including 3D printing and scanning, laser cutting and etching, and 3D mapping. These spaces and materials that go beyond books and are available to anyone holding a valid BruinCard.

In Space Spider, Artec’s technology has been honed to perfection to ensure the best possible quality of scans and a truly robust device, making it possible to double our standard warranty period.
Originally developed to spec for the International Space Station, this next generation 3D scanner features powerful temperature stabilization and high grade electronics, which not only allow the scanner to reach maximum accuracy in three minutes – ten times faster than Spider – but also ensures long-term repeatability in data capture, since Space Spider’s accuracy is not affected by fluctuations in environmental conditions. Space Spider offers almost unlimited possibilities in areas such as reverse engineering, quality control, product design and manufacturing. It is an ideal industrial 3D scanner for high resolution capturing of objects such as molding parts, PCBs, keys, coins or even a human ear, followed by the export of the final 3D model to CAD software. The scanner’s ability to render complex geometry, sharp edges and thin ribs sets Artec’s technology apart. It is perfect for capturing small objects or intricate details of large industrial objects in high resolution, with steadfast accuracy and brilliant color.
A new and enhanced precision instrument for CAD users and engineers, Artec Space Spider is a high-resolution 3D scanner based on blue light technology.
