3D scanning

3D scanning of parts: from physical to digital with precision

We digitise real parts with high-resolution 3D scanning to capture their exact geometry, ready for reverse engineering, design or manufacturing.

What we solve with 3D scanning

When a part has no drawings, or the drawings don't match reality, 3D scanning captures its geometry exactly as it is: wear, modifications and tolerances included.

  • Parts with no technical documentation or original drawings.
  • Complex, organic geometries that are hard to measure by hand.
  • Dimensional verification of a manufactured or worn part.
  • A reliable starting point for reverse engineering and CAD design.

Results, not loose files

  • A high-resolution 3D mesh of the real part.
  • A point cloud and dimensional references to work from.
  • A file ready for CAD reconstruction or comparison.
  • A report on the critical areas detected during the scan.

Frequently asked questions

How accurate is 3D scanning?

We scan to 0.02 mm. We capture the part's real geometry exactly as it is: wear, modifications and tolerances included.

Can I scan a part with no drawings, or with complicated geometry?

Yes, that is exactly what it is for. We handle parts with no technical documentation, parts whose drawings no longer match reality, and complex or organic geometries that cannot be measured by hand.

What do you deliver after the scan?

A high-resolution 3D mesh of the real part, a point cloud and dimensional references, a file ready for CAD reconstruction or comparison, and a report of the critical areas detected.
