"How is 3D Scanning Useful to My Industry?"

Click on your industry below to see how our 3D scanning services can save you time and money.

3D scanning a vehicle transfer case for reverse engineering and CAD modeling

Aftermarket Automotive

Most automotive manufacturers don’t provide 3D CAD data, making it difficult to design aftermarket parts. With our 3D scanning services, we eliminate the need for calipers, cardboard templates, or tape measures. Our reverse engineering process creates a precise digital twin of the vehicle in minutes—ready to import into your preferred 3D CAD software for seamless design integration.

Mechanical/Design Engineering

When you're designing a mechanical assembly, it's almost guaranteed that you're using off-the-shelf parts. Maybe it's a servo motor or an O-ring, or maybe it's a hand drill you're mounting to a robot. If you can't find a 3D file from the manufacturer, our 3D scanning services can help reverse engineer the part and bridge the gap!

Replacement Parts

Parts break. It's a fact of life.

But that doesn't have to mean production is down for weeks waiting on a replacement part! With our 3D scanning and reverse engineering service, we can create an accurate model of your broken parts within days so you can send it out for fabrication, machining, or any other manufacturing process.

Manufacturing Engineering

​Whether you're developing a new punch to improve cycle times or replacing a worn-out die on legacy equipment, precision matters. Our 3D scanning services capture exact geometry from existing tools, while our reverse engineering services deliver accurate 3D CAD models that fit seamlessly into your machines—eliminating guesswork and reducing downtime.

Art Creation/
Preservation

3D scanning helps artists turn physical objects into detailed digital models for refining designs or creating replicas. It also aids in preserving cultural heritage by documenting artifacts in stunning detail, ensuring they can be studied or replicated without risking the originals. 3D scanning bridges the physical and digital, empowering both creativity and preservation.

3D Rendering/
Video Game Design

​Our 3D scanning services can capture real-world objects and environments in stunning detail, creating lifelike assets for games and animations. Designers save time by scanning instead of modeling from scratch, achieving unmatched realism. From characters to props, 3D scanning bridges reality and digital artistry, making virtual worlds more immersive than ever.

Archaeology/
Anthropology

With 3D scanning, researchers can digitally preserve ancient artifacts, fossils, and entire excavation sites with incredible accuracy. These detailed scans allow for in-depth analysis, virtual reconstructions, and global sharing without risking damage to the originals. Whether it's reconstructing a shattered artifact or studying human evolution through fossilized remains, our 3D scanning services ensure that history is preserved and accessible for future generations.

Medical

Our 3D scanning services enable healthcare providers to capture highly accurate digital models of a patient’s anatomy. This allows for the precise design of custom prosthetics, orthotics, implants, and medical devices—ensuring a tailored fit that enhances comfort, mobility, and patient outcomes. By streamlining data capture and design workflows, 3D scanning reduces turnaround time from assessment to final device fabrication.
