What Is 3D Scanning?
3D scanning uses specialized equipment to capture the shape, dimensions, and details of a physical object and convert it into a digital 3D file (such as STL or OBJ).



What We Can Scan
-
Broken or worn replacement parts
-
Hard-to-find or discontinued components
-
Household, automotive, or equipment parts
-
Decorative or custom objects
-
Prototypes and one-off items
📌 Objects should be rigid and non-transparent. Some items may require a temporary scanning spray.
What Happens After Scanning
Our 3D scanning service captures the external geometry of an object and converts it into a digital 3D file (typically STL or OBJ format).
Please note the following:
• The delivered file is raw scan data or a base mesh and may require additional cleanup, repair, or modeling work before it is ready for manufacturing or 3D printing.
• Complex parts may require a 3D designer, engineer, or CAD specialist to refine the model after scanning.
• Internal components, hidden geometry, and precise engineering tolerances cannot always be captured through surface scanning alone.
• Final print quality or engineering performance depends on post-processing, modeling, and intended use of the file.
​
Our scanning service provides the digital capture of the object, which serves as the starting point for further design, editing, or reproduction.
