From precise laser scanning solutions tailored to your unique needs to in-depth training sessions led by industry experts, we’re here to elevate your operations. Our dedicated after-sales support team stands ready to assist with any queries or challenges you may encounter, ensuring seamless integration and optimal performance.
We stock a variety of sprays & spray systems, as well as some of the most comprehensive reverse engineering software on the market.
Our CMM scanners provide exceptional accuracy, capturing details down to 1.8 microns. For more versatile applications, our handheld portable scanners offer a volumetric accuracy of up to 10 microns. This range of precision ensures we can meet the demands of various projects, from highly detailed inspections to flexible, on-the-go scanning.
The duration of the scanning process depends on the size and complexity of the object. Small, simple objects can be scanned in a few minutes, while larger or more intricate items may take several hours. A key advantage of laser scanning is that it is non-contact, eliminating the need for expensive jigs and fixtures typically required in traditional touch probing operations. This not only speeds up the process but also reduces setup costs.
Yes, we offer on-site laser scanning services, which is especially beneficial for large or immovable objects. Our portable laser scanners are highly versatile, allowing us to capture precise data directly at your location. However, it’s important to note that our portable scanners are not IP rated, so scanning should take place indoors or in controlled environments to ensure optimal performance.
Laser scanning benefits a wide range of industries, including automotive, aerospace, manufacturing, architecture, and healthcare. It is invaluable for applications such as quality control, reverse engineering, historical preservation, and custom manufacturing.
The file formats we provide depend on your project’s specific needs. For mesh data, we can deliver formats like STL, OBJ, or PLY. If CAD formats are required, we can offer native formats such as Geomagic Design X or SolidWorks, as well as other CAD formats like .STP, .IGES, or .XT. Before starting, we will discuss your project in detail to ensure we fully understand your requirements and provide expert guidance on the best solution. Please note that CAD files may require additional processing, such as reverse engineering or NURBS conversion, which may incur extra costs.
Yes, laser scanning is completely safe for delicate and valuable objects. Our non-contact, non-destructive scanning methods ensure that the objects remain unharmed throughout the process. We have successfully scanned a variety of valuable items, including the Claret Jug from The Open Championship, demonstrating our ability to handle precious and historically significant objects with care and precision.
We prioritize data security and confidentiality in all our operations. All client data is stored securely and handled with strict access controls. We also offer non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) to provide additional peace of mind.
Yes, we offer comprehensive reverse engineering services to convert scanned data into accurate CAD models. Based on the completed scan, we can produce a precise CAD model or make any necessary modifications to meet your specific requirements. Whether you need a direct representation of the scanned object or alterations for design purposes, our team is equipped to provide the ideal solution.
Handheld laser scanners are portable and versatile, ideal for scanning objects in various locations and orientations. They provide flexibility for capturing complex shapes and hard-to-reach areas. CMM laser scanners, on the other hand, are mounted on coordinate measuring machines and offer high precision and stability, making them perfect for repeatable inspection work. Once a program is written for a specific part, it can be used to scan multiple parts with the same exact specifications, ensuring consistent and accurate results with every inspection.
Yes, we provide detailed post-scan analysis and reporting services, including dimensional inspections, GD&T analysis, and full ISIRs. Our reports offer comprehensive insights into the scanned data, helping you make informed decisions for your project.
Our team is ready to listen to your requirements, ask the right questions, and provide solutions that fit both your expectations and budget. Let’s bring your project to life quickly and efficiently.
