We recreate what you don't have a drawing of.

We agree on the files according to your needs: for example, a PLY point cloud, an STL/OBJ mesh, or a reconstructed CAD model such as STEP. A scan is not automatically an editable CAD model.

The base price is 600 kr. incl. VAT for scanning and post-processing of data. Size, access, complexity, and the desired deliverables determine the total price. CAD reconstruction, on-site scanning, and fabrication are agreed separately.

Yes, we offer scanning both at our location and at your address by appointment. Send photos and approximate dimensions so we can assess the practical solution.

It depends on the size, surface, accessibility, and chosen method of the item. Tell us which dimensions and mating surfaces are critical so we can agree on the relevant tolerances and inspection.

Many can, but the surface may require preparation, such as matting. We clarify the treatment beforehand. Missing or damaged geometry may require reconstruction in CAD.

Yes, we can help further with customization, prototyping, and manufacturing. We assess the material, function, and fit together with you.

The scan itself is only part of the work. Post-processing, CAD reconstruction, and inspection affect the delivery time. We will provide an estimate once we have seen the part and agreed on the deliverables.

3D scanning records the surface of a physical object as digital measurement points. The points can be assembled into a mesh model that describes the shape using many small surfaces. The model can be used for documentation, comparison, or as a reference for CAD and new parts.

A scan describes the measured surface, including wear and irregularities. In reverse engineering, we build a CAD model with intentional surfaces, holes, and dimensions. This makes it possible to adapt the geometry rather than simply copying the measured surface.

These examples range from cutlery and small clamps to lamps, car parts, and machines. Size is not the only deciding factor: access, surface, details, and the model's purpose determine how the task is approached. Send photos and approximate measurements for a specific assessment.

Yes, scanning can capture curved and organic forms that are difficult to describe with individual measurements. The lamp casing on this page shows both scanned surfaces and reconstructed CAD models. Hidden surfaces and joints require separate access or supplementary measurements.

Scanning can be used for both individual vehicle components and the surrounding areas that a new component needs to fit into. A radio frame, an air duct, and an area in a cab are different tasks. We therefore determine which areas and mating surfaces need to be recorded.

Yes, a scan can contain color information when the equipment, surface, and capture process support it. Color and geometric accuracy are different properties. Tell us whether the model will be used for visualization or technical design so the deliverable is suitable for its purpose.

STL describes a triangle mesh without colors. OBJ is used for meshes and can be combined with texture files. PLY can contain points or meshes and possibly colors. STEP is used for CAD geometry. Converting a filename to STEP is not in itself the same as reconstructing a usable CAD model.

Some models can be printed after cleanup and closing holes. Others require reconstruction, adjustment of wall thicknesses, or changes to the geometry. A printable model is not automatically a functional replacement part either; material, load, and fit must be assessed.

The scan and CAD model are placed in a common coordinate system, after which their surfaces can be compared. A color map can show deviations, as in the coat hanger example. The result depends on both the measurement data and the selected alignment; relevant references and tolerances are agreed upon before the inspection.

A phone can be useful for visual models and early experiments, depending on the method and subject. For parts that need to fit together mechanically, scale, details, and measurement uncertainty must be assessed. You are welcome to send an existing model so we can assess whether it is a suitable starting point.

Photogrammetry calculates shape from overlapping photographs. Optical 3D scanners may use structured light or lasers, for example. The method's suitability depends on the subject, setup, and requirements; no method is best for every task.

The optical measurement itself is contactless, but handling, markers, and any matting spray may affect sensitive surfaces. We therefore clarify the preparation with you. Please let us know in advance if the object is fragile, valuable, or must not have anything applied to it.

These types of scanning exist, but they require different considerations than individual technical components. Movement makes live subjects difficult, while buildings require a method for greater distances and coordinates. Contact us about the specific task; the examples on this page primarily document scanning of physical parts and equipment.
