Frequently Asked Questions

We can scan a wide range of parts—from small, detailed components like clips and gears to larger items such as housings and body panels. We specialize in complex geometry and high-precision parts, including machined, cast, sheet metal, and plastic components.

We typically provide STL files for 3D scans and STEP, IGES, or native SolidWorks files for reverse-engineered models. Let us know your requirements, and we’ll make sure you get exactly what you need.

Our metrology-grade blue laser scanner captures data with accuracy down to ±0.025mm (±0.001"), depending on part size and surface condition. We follow strict calibration and validation protocols to ensure high accuracy.

The accuracy of our reverse-engineered models depends on the condition of the part we receive. If the part is warped or heavily worn, it can affect how closely we can match the original geometry. In most cases, we aim to hold a ±0.01" tolerance to the scan data. If your project requires tighter tolerances, let us know—we can accommodate stricter requirements where needed.

Yes. We offer 3D printed prototypes for fit checks and can assist with machining by providing manufacturer-ready CAD files. We also partner with trusted vendors for short-run and production machining if needed.

Yes. We specialize in reconstructing damaged or incomplete parts using our 3D scanners and advanced modeling techniques. We'll scan what's available and use engineering best practices to recreate the missing geometry accurately.

Turnaround time depends on the size and complexity of the part. Simple scans can be delivered in 1–2 days, while full reverse engineering projects typically take 3–10 business days. Rush service is available on request.
