3D Scanning and 3D Data Generation

In any modern engineering company, data is one of the most important assets. When it comes to 3D CAD files and 3D scanning, it’s the 3D data that’s paramount. 3D data can be anything from your CAD files to the shapes used in a model, and every pixel that goes into a CAD file.

Knowing the height, width, and length of a part is just the first step — you’ll also need to include material properties, textures, tolerances, and visual data if you want a cohesive set of 3D data.

For many engineering departments, this is a lot of work to take on. This is why so many people choose our services at CAD/CAM Services. We offer a wide range of 3D scanning services, and we’ll ensure you get as much 3D data as possible.

Our 3D scanning services involve using high-tech 3D scanners to capture point data from a physical part. These scanners use light, laser, or sound waves to reflect off a part, and then the reflection is collected and stored. Each reflection converts into a series of points in 3D space, and enough of these points come together to make a “point cloud” — it looks like a dense cloud of a million little dots.

Our specialists can convert a point cloud into a final 3D CAD model in a fraction of the time, and we can add additional 3D data. For instance, we can quickly associate material properties and even texture data to ensure the 3D CAD file has as much data as possible.

This can be useful for you in the future, for a number of reasons. First off, it helps any company that wants to make a digital visualization of your parts. With the right 3D data, we can create digital copies of your parts that look like a photograph was taken — but we do it all on the computer without ever touching a camera.

In addition, 3D data can really help you with future manufacturing. Understanding your precise dimensions and tolerance allowances will ensure that every assembly goes together correctly the first time.

Picking the wrong company for your 3D scanning and 3D data generation project can waste a ton of your time and money. With an underpowered 3D scanner, untrained staff, or lack of knowledge about 3D data, you can be left scrambling at the last minute. We never want you to go through this headache, so we make sure we have the best 3D scanners that money can buy, and keep our staff trained with up-to-date best practices for 3D scanning.

We know a ton about what 3D data is useful for your project, and we can customize the data that we include in each of your 3D-scanned parts.

With our help, you can save time and money throughout every reverse-engineering project. Allow our team to take the stress and headaches out of making replacement OEM parts, stocking up your inventory, or innovating your legacy designs.

Our 3D scanning and 3D data generation services are designed to meet your needs. This customizable service revolves around you: it starts with a simple consultation. During this chat, simply tell us what you’re looking for and what parts you’d like to digitize. From there, we’ll explain how CAD/CAM Services can help. If we can’t help, we’ll be the first ones to say it, so you don’t have to worry about getting tricked into signing a contract with a team that isn’t capable.

Once we align on the scope of the project, our team will visit your site with all of our 3D scanning equipment and sensors. We’ll take detailed scans, generate a point cloud, convert that into a high-quality CAD file, and then add all of the 3D data that is needed.

Our services can take a fraction of the time that it would otherwise take you to reverse engineer a part. We run like a well-oiled machine, and we have put decades of practice and optimization into our workflows to make this possible.

Every file will get sent to you digitally, so there’s a robust trail of all the work we did for you. You have full ownership over every file, photo, and document we put together for your project. This gives you the freedom to make, change, and upgrade any CAD file we make for you, with no exceptions.
