Discover the Art of 3D Scanning!

Step into the world of 3D scanning with this hands-on beginner workshop! Learn how 3D scanning works, explore different scanning techniques, and get hands-on experience capturing real-world objects in 3D. Participants will learn how to set up a model, choose the best scanning approach, capture a high-quality scan, and prepare their digital model for 3D printing.

No prior experience is required! By the end of the workshop, you’ll have created your own 3D scans—and we’ll 3D print your finished work for you to pick up at a later time.

Join us for a session that will help you plan for your next large-scale literature review. Whether due to limitations in time/resources or simply by nature of the research need, systematic reviews aren't always the best option; however, there are other robust review types that may suit your needs.

Topics to be covered include:

  • The overarching concept of literature reviews
  • The distinctions between scoping reviews, rapid reviews and literature reviews for dissertations. We'll discuss each review type's requirements, timeline and suitability for different research needs.
  • What distinguishes a systematic review from other reviews and when to consider running a full systematic review.

This session is open to researchers at any level, but may be particularly helpful for those working on a thesis or dissertation, leading research teams or advising others on their research projects.

This workshop will not be recorded, but slides will be shared with participants.

If you require an accommodation such as live captioning or interpretation to participate in this event, please contact Sarah Norman at sarah.norman@osumc.edu or (614) 292-4861. Requests made by Tuesday, November 3 will generally allow us to provide seamless access, but the university will make every effort to meet requests made after this date.
