3D Scanning

Overview

3D Scanning works best on objects larger than a baseball and up to the size of a vehicle. Organic shapes and difficult to replicate in CAD are where scanning becomes a necessary tool. This method is ideal for designing a prototype that fits on the first try keeping boundaries and parameters front and center to the designer.  An evaporating scanning spray will be used to dull out shiny and reflective objects. A cheaper "permanent" spray can be used at a lower materials cost, this will need to be wiped and washed off of the part. Adhesive targets may also be applied to aid in scanning further increase accuracy of the final scan. Entities such as planes, cylinders, cones, and mesh sections are exported to be utilized in any CAD software.


Items can be shipped to our location for scanning or we can come to you. Our setup is completely mobile and can be operable with 3 power outlets. No internet access is needed. 

Scanning Rates:
$80/Hour for scanning and preparation. *Charged in half hour increments.
