Explore Our Local 3D Scanning Solutions
Our advanced 3D scanning services help organisations capture accurate digital data from physical parts and assemblies when CAD models, drawings or manufacturing information are unavailable.
We come to you with our 3D scanning mobile service, covering all of Flintshire & Cheshire including the Chester Industrial Estates, or host 3D scanning at our dedicated local facility.
From obsolete machine components and legacy production equipment through to product development, inspection and quality control applications, we transform real-world geometry into usable engineering data.
The resulting scan data can be used for reverse engineering, CAD modelling, manufacturing drawings, dimensional inspection and digital archiving, helping clients reduce downtime, improve reliability and accelerate engineering projects.
Our 3D Scanning Process
Explore our precise, step-by-step 3D scanning approach, guiding you from initial inquiry to detailed digital modeling with ease.
Step One: Define the Project Requirements
Every project begins with an assessment of the component, assembly or environment to be scanned and the information required from the final deliverable.
Whether the objective is reverse engineering, dimensional inspection, CAD modelling, manufacturing drawings or facility capture, we determine the most appropriate scanning technology and workflow to achieve the required accuracy and project outcome.
Step Two: Scanning Execution
The appropriate scanning technology is selected based on the application, component size and project requirements.
Depending on the project, this may involve high-accuracy optical 3D scanning, LiDAR scanning for larger environments, or CT scanning where internal features must also be captured. The resulting data provides a comprehensive digital representation of the component, assembly or facility, ready for further analysis, modelling or inspection.
Step Three: Delivering Usable Engineering Data
Capturing the scan is only the beginning. The real value comes from transforming that data into information that can be used.
Whether you require a CAD model for reverse engineering, manufacturing drawings for an obsolete machine component, inspection reports for quality control, or digital records of a facility, we deliver practical engineering outputs tailored to your requirements.
How Can 3D Scanning Help?
Many engineering projects begin with a physical component but no usable engineering data.
3D scanning allows us to capture accurate geometry from existing parts, whether they are worn, damaged, obsolete or simply lack CAD models and manufacturing drawings.
The resulting digital data can be used to:
• Recreate obsolete machine components
• Produce manufacturing drawings
• Reverse engineer legacy equipment
• Inspect manufactured parts against CAD data
• Capture complex freeform surfaces
• Create digital records of physical products
This enables organisations to preserve engineering knowledge, reduce downtime and accelerate product development.
Precision Optical Scanning
Optical 3D scanning uses advanced cameras and structured light technology to capture the shape and dimensions of physical components without physical contact.
The process rapidly records millions of data points across the surface of a part, generating an accurate digital representation that can be used for reverse engineering, CAD modelling, dimensional inspection and manufacturing support.
Compared with traditional manual measurement methods, optical scanning is significantly faster when capturing complex geometry, freeform surfaces and large assemblies, while providing a comprehensive digital record of the component.
Comprehensive Factory Scanning
LiDAR scanning enables existing buildings, production facilities and industrial sites to be captured quickly and accurately in digital form.
By collecting millions of laser measurements throughout the environment, a highly detailed three-dimensional point cloud is created, providing an accurate record of the facility and its contents.
This information can be used to support:
• Factory layout planning
• Production line modifications
• Equipment installation projects
• Building refurbishment
• Plant relocation
• Digital twin creation
• Clash detection and space validation
• CAD modelling and engineering design
By working from accurate survey data, costly site visits, measurement errors and design conflicts can be significantly reduced.
Expert CT Scanning Services
While optical 3D scanning is ideal for capturing external geometry, CT scanning allows us to see inside a component as well as outside it.
This makes CT scanning particularly valuable for castings, moulded components, assemblies, cooling passages, internal structures and parts with complex hidden features that cannot be measured externally.
The resulting data can be used to generate accurate CAD models, inspect internal geometry, evaluate manufacturing quality and support reverse engineering projects where complete component understanding is required.
