The Anthropology Digital Visualization Lab (ADVL) was founded to provide UTRGV students and faculty the opportunity to create and interact with digital models of material culture, and to create three dimensional recreations of these objects. The ADVL houses a NextEngine 3D Laser Scanner and MakerBot Replicator 3D Printer, as well as computers and software to create 3D models from scanner data, digital photographs, and online repositories. You can view some of our models on Sketchfab.
The ADVL is located on the second floor of SBSC on the Edinburg Campus. If you would like more information or are interested in using the lab, please contact Dr. Sarah Rowe
