For years, Creaform has been dedicated to the education sector by providing 3D scanning solutions and cutting-edge software to enable researchers to conduct advanced research and teachers to train the engineers and designers of tomorrow.
What is Creaform ACADEMIA?
Creaform ACADEMIA,the company's suite of affordable educational solutions, includes a wide range of 3D measurement technologies for many different learning areas, including science and engineering, applied science, industrial design, natural sciences, archaeology, as well as research projects and academic service centers.
For teachers,Creaform ACADEMIA offers easy-to-use tools and teaching materials to enable students to better understand the principles of metrology and gain valuable hands-on experience with professional-grade ACADEMIA 3D scanners. ACADEMIA software is also available for in-depth teaching of reverse engineering and inspection methods.
For researchers,Creaform ACADEMIA offers powerful metrological-grade 3D measurement technologies (3D scanners or portable CMMs) and other add-ons for industrial research projects. As with the teaching offer, Creaform ACADEMIA for researchers also includes Creaform's reverse engineering and inspection software modules.
Creaform ACADEMIA tackles the world of research and education in the Czech Republic
3D Scan,one of Creaform's strategic partners in Europe, has made an impressive breakthrough with 3D measurement technologies in educational institutions and research centers in the Czech Republic. Many projects have been carried out or are underway with several of Creaform ACADEMIA's solutions. Read on to learn more about these amazing projects!
Teaching 3D scanning and metrology to Czech students
- SPŠ,SOŠa SOU, a vocational school located in the Czech town of Hradec Králové, recently taught students how to use the ACADEMIA 10 3D scanner, as well as the VXmodel software, to scan student statuettes to make a copy using 3D printers.


- The Faculty of Medicine of Charles University,located in Prague and one of the oldest universities in Europe, familiarized students with 3D measurement technologies during a weekend seminar thanks to ACADEMIA 10.


- A school associated with UNESCO, the Secondary Vocational School of Applied Glassware Arts in Valašské Meziříčí chose ACADEMIA 20 to 3D scan handmade glass works and adjust 3D models for 3D printing of different sizes.


- A vocational school of automotive and technical engineering,based in České Budějovice, offered students the opportunity to use ACADEMIA 50 3D scanners as well as the VXmodel and VXinspect software modules to reverse engineer and inspect auto parts.


- The Academy of Arts, Architecture and Design in Prague taught students how to use ACADEMIA 50 3D scanners to scan objects to generate and modify 3D models for the purpose of scaling them for production.



Conduct fascinating research with Creaform ACADEMIA
- The Institute of Geonics of the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic has chosen the Go! Creaform's SCAN SPARK to conduct research and development to evaluate the behavior of rocks and other materials.


- VSB – Technical University of Ostrava,a polytechnic university in the Moravian-Silesian region, conducted research on an electric car and performed numerical simulations with the HandySCAN 3D scanner | CREAFORM BLACK to determine the effects of weather conditions on the vehicle.


- The HandySCAN 3D scanner | Creaform's SILVER enabled researchers at Charles University's Faculty of Physical Education and Sport to digitize body parts for analysis.


- CULS Prague Formula Racing scanned engine parts and developed additional components with the HandySCAN 3D scanner | BLACK.


In order to better prepare students for their future careers and to help researchers with their cutting-edge projects, universities and colleges must rely on the most advanced metrology equipment and software available. With Creaform ACADEMIA, educational institutions can offer specialized training and tools that take advantage of the enormous potential of 3D scanning in many sectors and industries. The only limit to teaching or using metrology is the imagination of educators!
