APPLICATIONS

Loading image:

Reverse Engineering


We use 3D scanning and reverse engineering to help you recreate, improve, or replace critical parts when original designs don’t exist or aren’t enough.

Loading image:

Quality Inspection


We use metrology-grade 3D scanning to verify part quality with precision - so you can catch issues early, meet specs, and stay confident in every build.

Loading image:

Historical Preservation

We use 3D scanning to digitally preserve artifacts, landmarks, and objects—capturing every detail to protect history for the future.

Digital Archives

We use 3D scanning to build detailed digital archives of physical objects—preserving every dimension, shape, and surface for the future.

3D SCANNING PHASES

The typical project lifecycle

1
Understand Your Needs
We start by listening—understanding your part, problem, and goals to ensure the right approach.
2
Select the Right Scanner
With over a dozen specialized scanners available, we match your project to the perfect tool for the job.
3
Acquire the Data
We capture high-precision 3D scan data—either at our facility or directly at your site.
4
Clean Up & Optimize
We remove noise, repair meshes, and fill missing areas to deliver clean, production-ready files.
5
Deliver Your Files
We deliver your final files in the format you need—whether STL, SolidWorks, or another preferred format.

CASE STUDIES

Our clients, 9 to 5 Warriors and DC5 Association, had very different 3D scanning needs—one focused on preserving hand-sculpted action figures, the other on reverse-engineering a discontinued bumper for aftermarket production.

Faqs

Frequently Asked Questions

WHERE DO YOU 3D SCAN?

We work with customers from locations all over the world!  Most of our scans take place right in our Miami, FL based office. 

The easiest way to work with us is to simply send your object to our location via FedEx.

MY OBJECT IS TOO BIG TO SEND, CAN YOU COME TO MY LOCATION TO SCAN?

We are happy to scan on-site at a customer location.  We can respond very quickly to a request for 3D scanning anywhere in the state of Florida. 

We also work with customers across the USA, as it is easy for us to travel due our our proximity to the Miami International Airport.

WHAT IS THE LARGEST OBJECT YOU CAN 3D SCAN?

We have a wide range of scanners available for objects of all sizes. 

Most of the things we scan fit on a table top, but we have also scanned small aircraft and even the side of a 737 aircraft!

WHAT IS THE SMALLEST OBJECT YOU 3D SCAN?

The smallest thing we have scanned to date is a match stick.

With our highest resolution scanners we can even see a finger print in 3D!

CAN YOU SCAN REFLECTIVE OBJECT, LIKE CHROME OR GLOSSY PAINT?

It depends. Since all of our 3D scanners use optical cameras, it can be challenging to capture data of highly reflective objects without a lot of "noise" in the scan data.  We can overcome this by preparing the surface with a powder that dulls the reflection.  This powder can be easily removed with soapy water.

CAN YOU SCAN PRECISION PARTS FOR ENGINEERING APPLICATIONS?

Yes, absolutely! 

In fact, this is our specialty as most of our staff come from an engineering background. We know all of the tricks to get 3D scan data to play nicely with traditional CAD system like SOLIDWORKS, CREO and Autodesk Inventor.

DO YOU WOK WITH ARTISTS?

We love working with artists for 3D scanning projects. We often work with artists to create a digital copy of their work prior to delivery to a customer site. We are also skilled in 3D scanning small objects that need to be scaled up for large sculptures.  

CAN YOU 3D SCAN IN COLOR?

Yes, we have the ability to scan objects in full color with some of our scanners. 

This can be particularly useful for 3D scans that are intended for digital archival or artwork.

CAN YOU 3D SCAN PEOPLE?

Yes, we can definitely scan a person.

There are multiple scanners that are used to scan people - we use a friendly iPad-based 3D scanner. This 3D scanner is very good a capturing hair, which is usually the most difficult part of 3D scanning people. This scanner also captures color data. The color texture makes the data look very real, but the 3D data is lower resolution (+/- 5mm) than our industrial 3D scanners. 

A full body scan starts at $500.

CAN YOU 3D SCAN A FACE?

Yes, we have multiple scanners capable of capturing a human face.

We can capture high resolution data without a color map (+/- 0.5mm), or lower resolution data with a color map (+/- 5mm).  

A face scan starts at $250.

CAN YOU 3D SCAN A BUILDING?

We have the ability to easily scan architectural features and even rooms, but we do not have the technology available to scan an entire building. 

This type of scan requires a LIDAR technology which we do not have in-house.

CAN I OPEN A 3D SCAN FILE IN SOLIDWORKS?

Yes, sort of, it depends.  Most of our customers work with SOLIDWORKS and we have a few techniques to get you editable data with varying levels of fidelity.

WHERE ARE YOU LOCATED? CAN I PICK UP IN PERSON?

We are located in beautiful Miami, FL.  We encourage you to stop by the office anytime you are in the area to see the 3D printing magic happen. 

If you prefer to pickup your parts in person, please let us know and we will be happy to make arrangements for you.
