3D scanning and reality capture

We digitize everything from small objects to built spaces to produce point clouds and 3D meshes. We select the capture technology based on size, surface, required accuracy and how the data will be used downstream.

Sub-mm

Sub-millimeter accuracy on selected applications and equipment.

3 methods

Photogrammetry, structured light and laser for different scales and conditions.

3D-ready

Deliverables prepared for CAD, inspection, documentation or printing.

Service scope

Capabilities, applications and deliverables

We define the technical workflow based on the geometry, the functional requirements and the level of validation the project needs.

Capture

Technologies and scope

  • Photogrammetry to reconstruct geometry from controlled photo sequences.
  • Structured light to capture objects with high geometric data density.
  • Laser to record surfaces, spaces and larger-scale assets.
  • Capture plan adapted to hidden areas, reflective finishes and access constraints.

Deliverables

Processing and formats

  • Aligned, cleaned point cloud for analysis or documentation.
  • 3D mesh in STL or OBJ formats for visualization and manufacturing.
  • Conversion to surfaces or a parametric solid through reverse engineering when required.
  • Comparison against nominal CAD for dimensional inspection within a defined scope.

Applications

Where it adds value

The final setup is tailored to the industry, the part's use and the project's acceptance criteria.

Engineering

Parts without drawings

Capture existing geometry to rebuild, adapt or manufacture replacements.

Quality

Dimensional inspection

Compare actual surfaces against a CAD model and pinpoint deviations.

AECO

Space documentation

Record buildings, facilities and assets for BIM coordination and planning.

Process

A controlled workflow from start to finish

Each stage produces verifiable information to reduce rework and keep technical decisions traceable.

  1. 01

    Define scope

    We review size, surface, accuracy, accessibility and the required final format.

  2. 02

    Capture

    We carry out the scanning strategy with sufficient references and coverage.

  3. 03

    Process

    We align, clean and optimize the point cloud or mesh.

  4. 04

    Deliver

    We export the agreed formats and document relevant considerations.
