The scanning and printing process was easy enough for my 11-year-old students to learn. The Einstar scanner's software also simplified editing and allowed them to directly print quality 3D models. This educational project allowed students to engage with local history through technology and develop new technology skills.

"After scanning our buddy and few other objects, I feel the Einstar is perfect for anyone that wants to get a 3D scanning and don't know where to start or even afraid to spend hundreds or even thousands of dollars not knowing what kind of hardware or software they're getting into. So, it's perfect as you're getting excellent hardware and software. If you're looking into 3D scanning and don't know where to start, I would totally put Einstar on top of your list."
