If so, that is not a problem, many of our customers are. Here are answers to questions that people often have about 3D scanning:
What is 3D scanning?
3d scanning is the process of using electronic instruments to capture the precise shape of an object in digital form. There are two main types: 1) long range
3D scanning services and 2) part 3D scanning services.
Is there a size limit?
Yes, but it is very broad and ranges from about the size of a kernel of corn to the size of a very large industrial facility. For example, a mile-long assembly line would be no problem. For a California customer, we once scanned
five miles of conveyor belts.
How accurate is it?
Depending on the type of scanning, accuracy can range from 1/8″ for
building scanning to .0005″ for
industrial ct scanning services. The typical accuracy for an average part is about .005″.
How much does it cost?
The cost of doing 3d scanning in Austin starts at $100 or more depending on part size and complexity. On-site 3D laser scanning cost starts at $1,500 per day or more depending on the situation. Every scan is different, so call us for a customized quote for your project.
How long does it take?
Typical turnaround for a simple scanning project is 3-5 days. If CAD modeling is involved, the turnaround time varies according to complexity.
