3D Scanning
Have a physical part but no digital file? We scan it and turn it into an accurate 3D model — for repair, replication, redesign, or archiving.
Who This Is For
Turn a physical object into a digital model
If a part exists but the file doesn’t, scanning is where you start. We digitize it, then hand you a model you can repair, replicate, redesign, or archive.
- Businesses reverse-engineering a part with no CAD file
- Anyone replacing or repairing a broken or discontinued part
- Teams digitizing an object before redesigning it
- Collectors and makers preserving a physical item
FDM
PLA
Great for concept models & general prototypes.
FDM
PETG
Tougher, more durable — good for functional parts.
Frequently Asked Questions
Your 3D Scanning Questions Answered
Which scanner will you use for my object?
Smaller, detail-critical parts usually go on the structured-light scanner; larger or awkward-shaped objects fit the handheld scanner better.
How does structured-light scanning work?
The scanner projects a pattern of light onto your object and reads how it bends across the surface to calculate precise 3D geometry.
Can you turn the scan into a usable CAD file?
Yes — pair scanning with our CAD & Prototyping service to get a clean, editable CAD file from your scan, not just a raw mesh.
