3D Laser Scanning of Large Objects

Large Object 3D Scanning Services

What types of large objects can be scanned?

In truth, just about anything! If the scanner can see it, it can be scanned. Here are some examples of large objects that can be scanned:

How accurate are the results?

3D scanning is accurate up to 1mm for most applications, but depending on which scanner is used, accuracy in the 1 mm range is achievable. We select the most efficient 3D scanning method that can meet your minimum accuracy requirement. By identifying the least amount of accuracy that you can live with, we can optimize the process to save you money.

Why do companies scan large objects?

Common reasons include:

To archive or reproduce molds, fixtures and tooling
Document and preserve hand-built designs
Reverse-engineer a part that has no drawings
Duplicate a part
Re-create a part using new methods such as 3D printing
Inspect parts for accurate manufacturing
Create drawings and prints for government certification
Obtain models for FEA and CFD simulation
Create a new mold for forming tool for a par

What can you do with a 3D model created by reverse engineering services?

Because of the high quality models produced during the reverse engineering process, the models happen to be very versatile. Among the many things that are possible:

Machining & molding
3D printing
Making changes to the design
Create 2D Drawings
Exploded 3D visualizations and animations
Comparisons with other parts or scans
Can be used to design mating parts or packaging
Drawings can be sent overseas for manufacturing instead of the part

Alternatively, you can just keep the 3D model for safekeeping as documentation for future reference knowing, should the part ever be lost or destroyed, that you have sufficient information build another one. The sky is the limit as to what you can do once the object is in its digital form.
