3D Scanning.

Capture, Reverse Engineer, Model
Replacement parts · Reverse engineering · Organic shapes

When you need to print a part but don't have a CAD file — or the shape is one nobody wants to model by hand — we have 3D scanning in-house. Most often it's the front end of a print job, but we'll run scans standalone too.

Where it fits

3D scanning is a companion capability — the most common use case is "I have a part but no CAD." We scan, clean the mesh into a workable CAD model, and print it (or print a modified version).

It also handles the shapes CAD is a poor tool for — sculptural, organic, or hand-made geometry that is far quicker to capture than to model from scratch.

Services

Reverse EngineeringExisting part → CAD
01
Replacement parts · Discontinued geometry

Capture an existing physical part and produce a CAD model — for replacement parts, modification, or reproduction.

DigitizingObject → mesh
02
Organic shapes · Sculptural work

A watertight mesh of the object as it actually is — dents, wear, and all — ready to print, or to design a part that fits it.

What we deliver

  • STL mesh of the scanned geometry
  • CAD-ready model (parametric where it makes sense) for reverse-engineering jobs
  • Printed part from the scanned geometry, when the scan is feeding a print job

What customers send us

  • The part itself (or arrangements to scan on-site)
  • Notes on critical features, tolerances, or specific surfaces you care about
  • What you ultimately need — a mesh, a CAD model, or a printed part

From physical to printed

Send the part,
not a file.

We'll scan it, model it, and print it — all under one roof. Book a meeting and we'll arrange drop-off, or a scan on-site.
