3D Scanning for Visualization

Professional Outsourced 3D Scanning for Visualization Services

Creating a 3D CAD model via a 3D scanner is just the first step in generating breathtaking visualizations of your parts. With the help of CAD/CAM Services, you can transform any physical part into a series of 3D animations and interactive web-based models in a matter of days.

Our team expedites the full reverse engineering process, in addition to adding stunning visuals and realistic visualizations. We are one of the few US-based outsourced engineering companies that can offer this service, and we take a lot of pride in our work.

With our help, you can convert your entire catalog of parts into a collection of digital visualizations. These images can go directly on your site, or they can be used as sales material. Either way, the visuals will show how your parts look in real life, without the need to hire a professional camera crew and set up your physical parts.

Since everything is done digitally, we can emulate dozens of different environments, showing the full scope of your products’ capabilities.

What Are 3D Scanning for Visualization Services?

Our 3D scanning for visualization services are broken down into a few specific categories. In general, these services involve our engineers creating high-quality, realistic images of your 3D CAD models. If you want to visualize what your new plastics grinding machine will look like, our team can create a 3D CAD model, and then generate a rendering of the new machine on the floor of a warehouse.

The final result really looks like a picture of a product, but it’s all done digitally on our computers.

Our visualization services include animations, renderings, and web-based 3D renderings:

Animations. We create a 3D movie using our 3D CAD files. Animations can show components assembling together, the workflow of an entire operation, or a deep dive into each component within the assembly. These animations can get really sophisticated, and we have a department that spends every hour of the day just making high-quality animations for companies across every major industry.

Renderings. Renderings are the most common form of visualization that most outsourced 3D scanning companies offer. A rendering is a 2D image that comes directly from our CAD file. Since these files are 3D-scanned, it’s a lot quicker to make a rendering. We can change the background, update textures on the part, and include any number of unique orientations and additional parts.

Web-based 3D renderings. Web-based 3D renderings, or Direct 3Dviews, can go directly on your website. These are interactive 3D models that the user can scroll around, zoom in on, and move around. This is great for companies that want to give their customers a closer look at a product before they purchase it.

Why 3D Scanning for Visualization Services Matters

Our 3D scanning for visualization services can bring your sales catalog to the next level. However, not all outsourced 3D scanning companies are the same. Other companies don’t have the expertise or equipment to offer high-quality visualizations, but CAD/CAM Services does.

We have a staff of over 100 engineers and draftsmen, and many visualization experts. The result? Higher-quality visualizations, renderings, and animations at lower costs. Plus, our turnaround times are always impressive.

When you choose us, you can leverage our massive inventory of 3D scanners, with accuracies as low as 0.0009”.

If you choose the wrong company, you can waste a lot of time and money. You’ll be left with digital renderings that aren’t up to par.

What Goes into 3D Scanning for Visualization Services from CAD/CAM Services?

The whole 3D scanning for visualization process depends on what products you want to digitize, and what type of visuals you’re looking for. However, all of our projects start with a consultation between us and you. During this call, you can tell us exactly what you’re looking for, what you have, and what your timeline is.

From there, we’ll be able to explain exactly how CAD/CAM Services can help. Once we agree on the scope of the project, our engineers will get to work. We’ll start by taking high-quality 3D scans of your parts. Next, we’ll convert the generated point cloud into a usable 3D CAD file.

After that, our engineers will work to start creating visuals, animations, renderings, and much more. Once the work is done, we put everything through an internal peer review and quality checks.

All of the final digital files will be sent directly to you using a DoD-trusted filesharing app. If you spot anything you don’t like, just let us know and we’ll correct it and send back the updated file.

Our 3D Scanning for Visualization Services Include:

  • 3D Modeling Services
  • Reverse Engineering Services
  • Tool and Die Reverse Engineering
  • Point Cloud Conversion
  • 3D CAD Modeling
  • And Much More (Including Custom Services)

37% Lighter Trolley Cart for FleetPride — Validated in Ansys

FleetPride's axle trolley cart redesigned in Ansys — 37% lighter (210 lbs → 132 lbs) while maintaining full 1,000 lb rated capacity.

Reverse Engineering a Legacy Rotor Shaft

A client needed a replacement rotor shaft for industrial equipment. Original CAD files, drawings, and specifications were unavailable.

Engine Housing Reverse Engineering

In this case study, we aimed to create a full digital model of an engine casing. This casing had no current CAD files, outdated drawings, and undocumented shapes because of years of use and part changes.

Fan Housing Recreation

We were recently tasked with recreating a fan housing using only the client’s original paper drawings.

CAD Modeling of an F‑16 from 3D Scan to Simulation-Ready

This case study describes how we helped a defense customer turn a dense point cloud into a usable surface model. This model was a CAD surface for an F‑16 that could feed straight into simulation.
