High-precision 3D scanning of components

3D Scanning Services

±0.03–0.05 mm accuracy · Point cloud, mesh & CAD deliverables

At 3D Reverse, we offer high-precision 3D scanning to capture complex shapes with ease. Our contact-free system handles both small details and large parts, with typical accuracy between ±0.03–0.05 mm.

It adapts to different surfaces, sizes, and finishes — perfect for reverse engineering, quality control, or digital replication.

Frequently Asked Questions

01

How long does a typical 3D scanning project take?

Simple parts are scanned, processed and delivered within 1–2 weeks. Large or highly detailed assemblies typically require 3–4 weeks.

02

Which file formats can I receive from 3D scanning?

We deliver raw point clouds (.PLY), meshes (.STL, .OBJ) and parametric CAD models (STEP, IGES).

03

What resolution and accuracy can I expect from 3D scanning?

We routinely achieve ±0.03–0.05 mm accuracy, with point spacing as fine as 0.02 mm for detailed components.

04

Can you scan large or fixed objects?

Yes — our portable structured-light and photogrammetry systems can scan large objects up to 3 metres, including in-situ equipment and fixed installations.

05

Can you scan reflective or transparent surfaces?

Yes — we use temporary matt-spray coatings or special scanning modes to capture accurate data on shiny, glass or clear plastic surfaces.

06

How do you ensure data security and confidentiality?

All scan data is transferred via secure, encrypted links and stored on GDPR-compliant servers. We are happy to sign NDAs or comply with your corporate security policies.
