The Smart Design Laboratory (Technopark)

The Smart Design Laboratory (Technopark) is a technological space for the commercialization of university processes through the design and practical activities of students and specialists of St. Petersburg State University of Industrial Technology and Design.

The main technologies in the laboratory space are:

  • 3D scanning using Texel Portal MX Growth 3D Scanner and Shining Einscan HD Pro Handheld Scanner;
  • 3D printing with two technologies: IDEX using Raise 3D printers and SLA using Formlabs 3 printer;
  • Oculus Quest 2 and HTC Vive virtual and Augmented reality glasses.

Personal workstations

The laboratory has 24 modern workstations for individual and group project work. Each station can work with all the equipment and accessories available in the space. The same number and types of software are installed on all workstations.

Texel Portal MX Growth Scanner

The laboratory features a full-length 3D scanner, which can be used to obtain a 3D model of a real person within 10 minutes. Also, one of the main functions of the scanner is to obtain measurements of the human body, which can later be used to create individual items of clothing and accessories.

Main functions: scanning, 3D model construction, preparation for 3D printing, auto-rigging for 3D model animation, measurement determination. The 3D scanner can serve up to 30 people in an hour.


Shining Einscan 3D Pro Handheld Scanner

Using the Shining handheld scanner, it becomes possible to obtain 3D models of all kinds of large and small objects (accessories, parts and mechanisms, body parts, faces, etc.) with high detail. The resulting 3D models can be edited in most popular 3D editors.

Main functions: high accuracy and resolution when scanning parts of different sizes, high scanning speed, 3D model construction, preparation for 3D printing.

3D printers Raise 3D E2 and Formlabs Form 3

With the help of 3D printers in the laboratory, you can print both a full-fledged scale model and a set of parts from which to assemble a finished product. Due to the abundance of materials and two printing technologies, it is possible to print models made of plastics containing particles of wood, metal, rubber and elastic plastics, and various kinds of polymers..

Features of the Raise 3D E2 3D printer: 3 printing modes: duplication (printing two models simultaneously), mirror printing (mirroring models when printing), standard printing with 1 or 2 extruders.

Features of the Formlabs Form 3 3D printer: it is able to print almost any product with any, even very complex geometry, recreating the smallest details. LFS technology provides high-quality detail thanks to a clear and clean laser spot over the entire surface of the model.

Virtual Reality Glasses

Thanks to augmented and virtual reality glasses, you can upload a previously created 3D object into a virtual space and evaluate its interaction with the environment, and set additional parameters for it. Software is also available to create virtual events (meeting rooms) where you can interact with other people and hold, for example, fashion shows.


Software:

Clo 3D is a program for virtual fabric construction. The tools developed by CLO3D allow you to create accurate simulations of 23 types of fabric (including leather), and then put virtual clothes on a 3D computer model of a person. To work with the program, a hand-held, growth scanner, AR/VR glasses are used.

Blender is a professional software for creating three-dimensional computer graphics, including tools for modeling, sculpting, animation, simulation, rendering, post-processing and editing video with sound, Node Compositing, as well as creating 2D animations. To work with the program, a manual, height scanner, AR/VR glasses are used.

Tilt Brush is a program that allows you to draw in three dimensions, with a change in the angle of inclination and the ability to rotate the resulting image. In addition to the usual paints, you can also draw using unusual materials, including light, stars and smoke. All this works interactively, so if desired, you can create a moving picture. AR/VR glasses are used to work with the program.

Gravity Sketch is an application designed to introduce 3D printing to artists, and 3D printing enthusiasts, in turn, to the basics of sketching. The application is much simpler than the technical CAD programs that most 3D designers use. Gravity Sketch allows you to simplify 3D design, turning it into an intuitive creative process, and also supports multiplayer mode for up to 4 people. AR/VR glasses are used to work with the program.

Adobe Creative Cloud is a set of 20+ applications for working with photos, video editing, design development, web content creation, UX and social media materials. In addition, important elements are built into applications, such as color palettes, font families, collaboration tools, and more.

Unreal Engine is a new generation game engine that allows you to create games of any genre. Thanks to the use of C++, the user's possibilities are almost limitless in game development. To work with the program, a hand-held, growth scanner, AR/VR glasses are used.

Autodesk 3ds Max is a professional software for 3D modeling, animation, and visualization in game creation and design. To work with the program, a hand-held, growth scanner, AR/VR glasses, and 3D printers are used.

Autodesk Maya is a three-dimensional graphics editor. Maya has extensive 3D animation, modeling, and visualization functionality. The program is used to create animations, environments, motion graphics, virtual reality, and characters. To work with the program, a hand-held, growth scanner, AR/VR glasses, and 3D printers are used.

Cinema 4D is a package for creating three-dimensional graphics and animation. Cinema 4D is a universal comprehensive program for creating and editing two and three-dimensional effects and objects. Allows you to render objects using the Gouraud method (a method of coloring in three-dimensional computer graphics designed to create the illusion of a smooth curved surface). To work with the program, a manual, height scanner, AR/VR glasses are used.

Unity is a cross-platform computer game development environment that allows you to create applications running on more than 25 different platforms, including personal computers, game consoles, mobile devices, Internet applications, and others. To work with the program, a manual, height scanner, AR/VR glasses are used.
