3D Scanning

3D Scanning of Parts, Molds and Spaces Using State-of-the-Art Scanners

We provide accurate and reliable 3D scanning for parts, molds, tools and spaces using high-end equipment. 3D scanning is particularly suitable for dimensional inspection, documentation, reverse engineering, and quality assurance—especially when precise comparison with 3D CAD models is required or when original drawings are not available.

We perform 3D scanning using the Creaform MetraSCAN 350 system either at our facilities in Lahti or directly at the customer’s production site. The scanning data can be utilized, for example, in measurement reports, PPAP documentation, and as support for design and manufacturing.

Applications of 3D Scanning

• Dimensional inspection of production tools, molds, jigs, subassemblies and parts
• Documentation of components and parts when 3D drawings are not available
• Documentation of molds during modification situations
• Reverse engineering
• Verification of dimensions, shapes and parallelism
• Documentation of connecting components or surrounding environments to support design
• Conversion of hand-crafted parts into 3D models (stl)
• 3D scanning as an alternative to shipping physical parts (e.g., for quotation requests)
• Modeling of aged, damaged, or difficult-to-handle parts
