Our 3D laser scanning services capture precise surface geometry using high-resolution scan data. Laser scanning is ideal for reverse engineering, inspection, as-built documentation, digitization of legacy parts, and large-scale industrial scanning projects.
CAD/CAM Services provides professional 3D scanning services for parts, assemblies, tooling, aircraft components, facilities, and industrial equipment. Our scanning process captures accurate physical geometry and converts it into usable digital data for CAD modeling, inspection, documentation, and manufacturing support.
Scan-to-CAD services convert physical parts or scanned point cloud data into accurate 3D CAD models. CAD/CAM Services creates native CAD deliverables in CATIA, Siemens NX, Creo, SolidWorks, Inventor, STEP, IGES, and other required engineering formats.

Large-scale 3D scanning captures aircraft, vehicles, facilities, industrial machinery, production lines, and large equipment. This service is useful for as-built documentation, modernization, plant layout, reverse engineering, and digital twin development.
Types of 3D Scanning We Offer
We can deliver:
Aerospace manufacturers and MRO organizations use 3D scanning to accelerate aircraft modernization, reverse engineer legacy components, recreate loft data, inspect tooling, and develop accurate CAD models for manufacturing and sustainment. Our engineering team scans everything from individual brackets and ducts to complete aircraft, delivering high-accuracy CAD models compatible with CATIA, Siemens NX, Creo, SolidWorks, and other leading engineering platforms.
Common Aerospace Applications
Defense organizations rely on professional 3D scanning to support sustainment, modernization, and replacement of obsolete components. Our engineers help create accurate engineering data for Technical Data Packages (TDPs), reverse-engineer legacy equipment, and develop digital engineering deliverables for military and government programs.
Common Defense Applications
Manufacturers use 3D scanning to improve quality, accelerate product development, verify tooling, and inspect finished parts. High-resolution scan data enables rapid comparison between manufactured parts and CAD models while reducing inspection time and improving overall production efficiency.
Manufacturing Applications
Automotive companies use 3D scanning throughout the product lifecycle—from concept development and prototype evaluation to production inspection and legacy vehicle restoration. Our engineers create accurate CAD models from physical parts to support manufacturing, aftermarket development, and vehicle modernization.
Automotive Applications
Industrial manufacturers frequently need accurate CAD models for machinery that was designed decades ago. We capture complex mechanical systems and convert them into modern engineering data that supports maintenance, redesign, replacement parts, and facility upgrades.
Industrial Applications
Energy companies use 3D scanning to document power generation equipment, turbines, pipelines, pressure vessels, offshore structures, and processing facilities. Accurate scan data supports inspection, maintenance planning, reverse engineering, and modernization initiatives.
Energy Applications
Medical manufacturers use high-accuracy scanning to develop products, inspect components, reverse engineer existing devices, and accelerate new product development while maintaining tight dimensional tolerances.
Medical Applications
Large-scale 3D scanning provides accurate digital documentation of buildings, industrial facilities, manufacturing plants, and infrastructure. Engineers use scan data to create BIM models, as-built documentation, facility layouts, and digital twins for renovation and maintenance projects.
Facility Applications
Fill out our quote form, attach your files, or simply send us an email. Tell everything about your project, like the model purpose.
For smaller files < 15 MB you can simply email them to us. For something larger, just drop them in any number of drop boxes like Dropbox, Google Drive, Microsoft OneDrive and others. Or if you would like, just contact us for a private, hardened link.
It is fine to use most any time of compression such as *.zip, *.rar, *.tar, *.7z, *.arc, *.LBR, and even *.iso images.

We also use a hardened OwnCloud web file sharing platform for unlimited file transfers. We provide unique and very private Web Storage Portals, this also supports file syncing for extreme convenience for you. Because so much of our work is DOD or weapons design work, Security – and confidentiality is very important to us.
Yes. NDAs are a common part of our business. All data is yours – not ours, and treated as proprietary data and not for public consumption or use. Probably 70% of our work is under NDA agreements. We can generally get these signed within the day.
It depends on the scope of work:
Simple jobs have a lead time of 48 hours. Larger projects are delivered and invoiced weekly.
Yes, we did back in 2008. We started using Cad Perfect™ back in the early 1990s because all of our customers wanted only real Cad Perfect™ work. Back then the buzz words were terms like machine ready, or DXF Traceover and others.
The problem is, nobody wanted that. They all wanted drawings and models that they did not have to touch. Everybody wanted drawings just as if they hand redrew the work themselves.
Thus, Cad / Cam Services™ was the first company to start offering ONLY Cad Perfect™ work.
Yes we do, and have now for several years. In addition, we also support the industry specific plans as well.
It depends on the complexity of the scanned model and material properties. As, for example, it may be much more complicated to properly scan an object with a reflective surface, than a non-reflective surface. It also depends on three main factors:
Simple quick cell phone photos are worth a thousand words to us. To know for sure you can request a quote. It is of course, free – and treated as if an NDA is already in place.
Some averages:
Because so much of our business is Aerospace related, our scanning – and the completed CAD file HAS to be within ±.005” anywhere on that part, we never use consumer-grade scanners. The scanners we use start at $25,000 and go up to $700,000 (CT) per scanner.
At any given time, we have in excess of $ 5 million just in scanning hardware we use. In addition, a hidden factor of scanning on any system is the assembly and clean up of any scan. The rule of thumb is a 2-1 ratio. So even with our experienced scanning staff, if we spend one-hour scanning; we will then spend an additional two hours of clean up and assembly before our CAD group gets the Point Cloud file to simulate or reverse engineer.
A point cloud is thousands if not millions of data points located in space by X, Y, Z coordinates. Images of this nature are often captured with Faro Focus or Artec scanners that specialize in large-area scanning. Most likely you obtain building and territory plans in this file format.
A polygon mesh is a set of triangles located in the same manner. These scans are obtained with Artec, Creaform, Enscan and other handheld scanners. Parts and reverse engineering device scans are usually polygon meshes.
The scanners we use are as accurate as the industry offers – from anybody at any cost. We use Faro and Artec 3D scanners, in addition to Faro CMM type arms, including the Surveyor tables. Depending on what scanner we use:
Large-scale 3D scanning captures aircraft, vehicles, facilities, industrial machinery, production lines, and large equipment. This service is useful for as-built documentation, modernization, plant layout, reverse engineering, and digital twin development.
Types of 3D Scanning We Offer
With over $5 million in 3D scanners, we bought the expensive scanners so that you don’t have to. For instance, you can leverage our $700,000 CT scanner to get great resolution on your reverse-engineered parts.
Our digital models will be adjustable, which means that you can iterate on old designs or make small tweaks to your parts. We can include surface details and colors to ensure every digital model does even more for your company.
The biggest selling point of our services is the fact that we work so quickly without sacrificing the quality of each 3D CAD file. With over 100 engineers working around the clock, we can make progress on a project three times faster than a standard single-shift operation can.
The bottom-line is that our engineers will generate high-quality 3D CAD models that you can use for manufacturing, sales material, or anything in between.
