3D Scanning Services With High Resolution Results
Our high-resolution 3D scanning services are used for a variety of industrial applications including object digitization, reverse engineering, product replication, and part inspection. This form of scanning captures a physical object’s exact shape and size and creates a digital three-dimensional representation. Critical information is captured through this technique, which includes colorized textures, intricate shapes, complex geometry, and other details of the scanned 3D object.

In order to investigate and confirm how a part that you are trying to reproduce was made, we use structured light which can create 3D models from existing parts to generate precise inspection data. Typically, these scanners project a light pattern consisting of several lines onto the object. The scanner is equipped with a variety of sensors that capture the changes in the edge of the projected lines in order to recreate the object digitally. Oftentimes these scanners will also be equipped with a separate sensor that captures texture, and color data which can be used in downstream applications to further enhance your model.
Laser-based 3D scanners use a process called trigonometric triangulation. This allows them to capture 3D shapes with extreme accuracy, and convert them to millions of points. These scanners work by projecting single or in some cases multiple laser lines onto the object and then capturing those reflections with a wide variety of sensors. The end result is a highly accurate nearly 1:1 digital replica of your object.
This process is rather simple. The basic principle involves stitching together several photos of an object taken at a variety of angles, heights, and distances. In most cases, a mid-tier or high-end DSLR camera is used to capture these photos. In some instances, relatively simple objects can also be captured with today’s smartphones. These images are then run through software that calculates the distances, and angles in order to reproduce a digital model of the object. By interpreting and measuring photographic models of a physical object, engineers can replicate parts otherwise too large or too complicated.
While an object is resting on or in contact with a precision flat surface, through physical touch, CMM arms are sometimes equipped with 3D scanners to probe the object to extract precision measurements, which are later used in a variety of tasks, such as reverse engineering and first article inspection.
As the name suggests, this type of measurement technology provides a means – without touching objects – to collect 3D data. This technology includes structured light scanners, 3D laser scanners, CMM Arms equipped with scanners, and photogrammetry solutions. Based on the acquisition type, the 3D measurements can be further broken down.
This type of scanner works best when it is placed within 1 meter of the subject you want scanning. Ordinarily, there are two broad categories into which 3D scanning technologies fall: noncontact and contact. Though there is no precise contact, the scanner must be closer to the scanned object than in the case of the following technology – long-range scanning.
Phase shift and pulse-based are the two major formats for long-range 3D scanners. Either one will work well for bigger objects like military vehicles, aircraft, structures, and buildings. For medium-range scanning needs, phase shift 3D scanners also work well.
Benefits of long-range 3D scanners include the following:
- They are relatively portable.
- All types of objects can be safely scanned through noncontact.
- Based on object size, they offer good resolution and accuracy.
- Areas of more than 100 m² can be scanned.
- Up to 1 million points, in one single scan, a lot of points can be covered.
By probing the surface geometry of an object, measurements are collected by a device known as a portable CMM. Also referred to as an articulating arm, this kind of technology uses a measuring arm for accurate results and is usually equipped with a laser scanning probe. When these two tools are used together they allow for highly accurate measurement and analysis of a part or object.
Contact Measurement
Contact measurement is a method of collecting single points relative to each other in small or large volumes. This information can then be used for evaluation, inspection, layout, or basic geometric reverse engineering.
Short-range Contact Measurement
Our PCMM solutions include two styles of touch probing (digitizing) that provide high-accuracy measurements of objects that fit within a 24-foot envelope.
Non-Contact Measurement
Three-dimensional (3D) white light scanning or laser scanning, sometimes called ‘digitizing”, is the process of capturing the geometry of existing physical objects through the use of laser-emitting camera-like devices.
