3D Scanning & Reverse Engineering
Metrology-grade 3D scanning with 0.02mm resolution for dimensional capture, quality control, and part replication
A reverse engineering sequence of a ROV for a project. Technical details have been abstracted for confidentiality purposes.
Clear Service Options
3D Scanning
Professional scanning with cleaned point cloud and mesh for quality control, digital archiving of art or specimens, or dimensional verification.
You receive:
- • Processed point cloud (.ply, .xyz)
- • Alternative formats available (.las/.laz, .e57, .ascii, .csv)
- • 3D mesh (.stl, .obj)
- • Dimensional Analysis Report (when applicable)
Best for: Quality control, archiving art/antiquities/specimens, dimensional verification, or downstream CAD work
Reverse Engineering
Complete service from 3D scanning through parametric CAD model creation, ready for manufacturing or modification.
You receive:
- • All 3D scanning deliverables
- • Parametric CAD model (.step, .iges)
CAD reconstruction time varies significantly depending on feature count and complexity, tolerance requirements, and fine details (threads, text, patterns).
Best for: Part replication, CAD modelling, modification, or when you need manufacturing-ready files
Transparent Pricing
Request a quote by providing photos and dimensions. We assess complexity and provide exact pricing for both services within 24 hours.
Simple Objects
Large gentle curves, flat planes, minimal occlusions
Some examples:
- • Sheet metal panels or brackets
- • Pocket watch (outside)
- • Basic mounting plates
- • Cylindrical vessels or bottles
- • Large seashell (outside)
Standard Objects
Mixed features, some undercuts, moderate detail
Some examples:
- • Consumer products or prototypes
- • Motorcycle helmets
- • Automotive trim components
- • Prosthetics
- • Bronze animal sculpture
Complex Objects
High feature density, deep occlusions, fine details
Some examples:
- • Detailed mechanical assemblies
- • Intricate sculptural or ornamental works
- • Populated PCBs or electronics
- • Historical mechanical instruments
- • Turbine components
All projects include: non-contact optical scanning at 0.02mm resolution, point cloud cleaning and processing, mesh generation, coordinate system alignment, and files in standard formats.
Typical scan volume: up to 800 × 800 × 800mm. Larger objects can be accommodated through multi-part scanning upon request.
Non-contact technology: Safe for delicate, soft, valuable, or temperature-sensitive objects including biological specimens, artwork, and historical artifacts.
