3D scanning services we offer.
3D Scanning
Scanning is where it all begins, transforming your object into the digital world using the latest laser 3D scanning technology.
Scan to CAD
3D scanning to CAD provides options to modify, repair, inspect, digitize, and visualize your scanned parts.
Scan to Print
We can turn your 3D scans into 3D prints using the data we capture, or you can supply your own STL file for us to print.
What can we 3D scan?
Large objects
3D scanning large objects is easy with our mobile, handheld 3D scanners. We capture full-color, highly accurate scan data using structured light technology.
Cars
Statues
Boats
People
Small parts
Small items and parts, such as jewelry, are captured using our desktop 3D scanners. These devices allow us to capture very high detail and texture.
Components
Gears
Miniatures
Coins
Textured items
We offer 3D scanning for texture and color, which is particularly beneficial for industries like VR, historical artifacts, and museums. We can also scan challenging surfaces such as glass.
Fabric
Glass
Shiny
Black

Frequently asked questions...
Yes, we can 3D scan your part. It could be as small as a coin, an antique piece of furniture, or as large as an entire vehicle. Almost any item can be 3D scanned. Every day we get asked to scan different items. Some are complex parts, others are simple designs. Every item is unique, but we can scan almost anything.
The cost of 3D scanning an item can vary. It depends on how complicated the item is, the level of detail required and the item’s size. The best way to obtain a quotation is to send us some pictures and include approximate dimensions. Something simple is fine.
Generally, a quick chat about what you’re trying to achieve is also helpful. We can tailor our service to your project, ensuring you get what you need to take your project to the next step.
A 3D scan can take anywhere from an hour to a few days. Every item is so unique that there isn’t a set time. The size and complexity of the object determine how long it will take.
Once we have seen your item pictures, we can let you know what the timescale would be. The data clean-up is also a large part of the process. This must be taken into consideration when working out the time required.
At Surface Scan, we try to turn around most items in 1 – 2 weeks. However, if you need something a little faster than that, please let us know. We will always try to accommodate you.
Yes, you can send your object to us as long as it is not too heavy or delicate. Our in-house scanning service is a straightforward and efficient way to get your model 3D scanned. We will happily return your items once the 3D scan data is complete.
If you have a heavy or fragile item, don’t worry about sending it to us. We are more than happy to travel to your location. Our mobile scanning service is very popular.
There is no need to worry about dismantling machines or transporting vehicles. Our engineers have mobile scanners; they are happy to scan most items in situ. They can work in almost any environment; they only need to access the model or machinery.
Talk to us about what you need, and we can let you know if our mobile scanning service is the best option for you.
