3D scanning
3D scanning and reverse engineering
Capture an existing part or object as an accurate 3D model, then modify it, reproduce it, or design something that fits it perfectly.
What 3D scanning is for
- Reverse engineering parts with complex shapes
- Reproducing parts that are no longer available
- Designing custom-fit accessories, mounts, and adapters
- Capturing objects for modification or archiving
- Scan-to-print: go straight from scan to a printed part
How it works
- Tell us about the object: what it is, its approximate size, and what you want to do with the scan.
- We scan it: and clean up the data into a usable 3D model.
- Use it: take the model for your own work, or have us modify and 3D print it for you.
Scanning pairs naturally with our replacement parts and prototyping services.
FAQ
3D scanning questions
What size objects can you scan?
Tell us the approximate size and shape of the object in your quote request and we will confirm the best approach.
What do I get?
A digital 3D model of your object. We can also modify it or print it for you.
Have something to scan?
Send photos, files, or just a description. We usually reply within one business day, often sooner.
