What Can You Achieve With
3D Product scanning Services?
3D scanning is a technology that captures the physical world in three dimensions, creating digital representations of objects, environments, or surfaces. It has a wide range of applications across various industries and can achieve several important outcomes,
Conceptulization
3D scan data provides a highly accurate and tangible representation of physical objects in a digital format, making it easier to conceptualize designs before moving to manufacturing. Data can also be used for rapid prototyping and 3D printing to verify fitment.
Quality Control Applications
Ensure the project’s quality prior to initiating manufacturing. We have the capability to conduct a meticulous comparison between the scan data and your initial CAD models, identifying any disparities or irregularities.
Manufacturing
All reverse engineering files are delivered in universal format; STEP, IGES, and XT. These files are seamlessly ready for programming for various manufacturing processes including machining, laser cutting, injection molding, forming, and more.
Our team can also source a manufacturer and handle all logistics.
The 3D Product Scanning Services Workflow
3D Scanning
For projects small or large, digital data is created in mesh format by way of a 3D laser scanner. 3D laser scanning is non-invasive and ultra-precise
File Creation
Scan data initially created in STL format, ready for reverse engineering to STEP, IGES, and XT format. Manufacturing projects will need CAD files.
Quoting
Once appropriate files are created, they can be sent to your manufacturer of choice for quoting; both domestic and international.
Modifications
When prototypes are produced, any changes can be determined and quickly changed in CAD software.
Marketing
Scan and CAD data can be used for various marketing avenues. 3D animations, virtual reality for eCommerce, and creating a buzz.
Production
Congratulations, your design is in production! Utilizing 3D laser scanning guarantees an exceptionally precise product.
F.A.Q
Our 3D product scanning services start at an hourly rate of $155. This rate applies specifically to in-house scanning procedures carried out within our office premises by our skilled technicians.
There is a one hour minimum for in-house scanning but most projects we can complete within that timeframe. Most projects can be dropped off in the morning and picked up before end of day.
3D laser scanning works by preparing laser triangulation. The object to be scanned is prepared with reflective targets that the scanner records by bouncing lasers on and back to the scanner. Between these targets, a digital mesh is recorded, identifying different surfaces, dimensions, and features. This scan data digitally records all that it sees into a 3D model.
Immediate data from 3D laser scanning is prepared in the native software. All scan data must be post processed with the quickest files being prepared as STL and OBJ files. Scan data can be reverse engineered to create CAD files.
