3D scanning of parts

3D scanning of parts is a widely known technique in the industrial sector, especially when it comes to quality control in manufacturing processes. In our case, we use a 3D laser scanner to obtain three dimensional models of items wich we do not have the drawings. Once the laser scanner has produced its scatter diagram, we process the data to create a high-quality CAD file that can be then 3D printed with our equipment. This full process, which uses the part itself to create its drawings and CAD file, is known as reverse engineering.

What is included in the 3D scanning service?

In order to offer you our 3D scanning service for objects, we first need that you send us the physical part that you want a 3D file for. Whether you want to print it with us, or you just want the drawings, we will send you a CAD file to store in your digital inventory or spares database. If the part that you want to scan is damaged, we will reconstruct it with a digital 3D model so  you have a fully complete spare in your virtual warehouse.

How can our 3D part scanning service help you?

Our reverse engineering service, 3D scanning plus printing, is useful for those parts that cannot be found in catalogues, have no blueprints, or that are spares for machinery that is no longer made. Moreover, it is crucial to guarantee  that the manufactured spare part is going to work as desired.

BENEFITS
  • The creation of a virtual warehouse of spares which are no longer available or which there are no blueprints.
  • The possibility of reconstructing broken or damaged parts to create a practical 3D model.
  • The possibility of redesigning a part to improve it.
