What can I do with a 3D scanner?
Thanks to a non-contact 3D scanner we can 3D digitize a physical product, convert it into a digital format (e.g. the STL or OBJ file format), and work with the digitized model to create prototypes that are then printed by 3D printer or CNC milling machine. A 3D scanner is also able to captures the shape, texture, and sometimes color of real-world objects. For more information regarding our 3D Scanning Services Get in touch.

Here are some things we can do for you with a 3D Scanner:
- Reverse Engineering: You can create digital models of existing physical objects. This is useful in industries like manufacturing, automotive, aerospace, and product design.
- Quality Control and Inspection: Inspect manufactured parts against CAD designs to ensure they match specifications accurately..
- Archiving and Preservation: Digitally preserve artifacts, sculptures, historical sites, and other objects for documentation, research, and restoration purposes.
- Customization and Prototyping: Create customized products or prototypes by scanning and modifying existing designs.
- 3Virtual Reality and Gaming: Capture real-world objects or environments for use in virtual reality experiences or video games.
- Medical Applications: The 3D data can also be used for analysis and quality control purposes. By comparing the scanned component to its original design specifications or to other components, engineers can identify deviations, defects, or areas for improvement.

- Cultural Heritage and Education: Preserve cultural heritage sites and artifacts digitally for educational purposes or online exhibitions.
- Art and Sculpture: Artists can use 3D scanning as a tool for creating digital sculptures or as a reference for traditional sculpting.
- Forensics: Capture crime scenes or evidence for forensic analysis and documentation.
- Architecture and Construction: Scan buildings or construction sites for documentation, analysis, and planning.
- 3D Animation and Visual Effects: Use scanned objects or environments as assets in animation and visual effects production.
- Custom-Fit Products: Create custom-fit products like eyeglasses, footwear, or dental appliances by scanning body parts.
