Inside A Typical Scan Job

When a client contacts us for 3D scanning, the first 4 questions we ask are;

“What do you want us to scan?”
“What do you want to do with the 3D file we give you?”
“What level of accuracy are you looking for?”
“What program will you be using to work with the 3D file?”

From those answers, we decide which of our scanners we will need to use.

The scanners we have are the Artec Eva, a structured light 3D scanner, & Einscan Pro HD

The Eva is a handheld scanner, this means it is mobile, the Einscan Pro HD is a desktop/tripod mounted scanner.
So how do we use them?

Artec Eva – Handheld Scanner

For large jobs from 300mm up to 10 metres, there is only one scanner we use and that is the Artec Eva Hand held 3D scanner. This scanner uses structured light and a flash to capture high resolution surfaces with brilliant colour texture and it does it at an impressive speed too. We often find ourselves smiling while scanning with it… it is just lovely to use! Typically, scans are from 0.1mm to 0.50mm in accuracy. This is particularly handy for scanning large objects like boat hulls, aircraft, automotive vehicles, motorcycles and earth moving equipment. The Artec Eva is our latest addition to our studio and a truly wonderful piece of equipment.

The EinScan Pro HD 3D Scanner:

Precision for Reverse Engineering, Prototyping, and 3D Printing

The EinScan Pro HD 3D scanner revolutionizes reverse engineering, prototyping, and 3D printing with its exceptional accuracy and advanced technology.

High Accuracy
With an accuracy of up to 0.05mm, the EinScan HD Pro captures fine details, ensuring precise digital reproductions of scanned objects. This level of precision is essential for applications where minor deviations can significantly impact the final product.

Reverse Engineering
In reverse engineering, the EinScan Pro HD provides accurate 3D scans for analyzing and replicating complex geometries. This capability is invaluable in industries like automotive, aerospace, and manufacturing. Engineers can capture the geometry of parts and create detailed 3D models for thorough analysis and improvement without needing original CAD files.

Prototyping
For prototyping, the EinScan Pro HD accelerates the process by enabling rapid and precise digitization of physical models. Designers can create 3D scans, adjust digitally, and iterate designs quickly. This saves time and reduces costs, allowing for faster development cycles and more efficient market entry.

3D Printing
Combining 3D scanning with 3D printing, the EinScan Pro HD provides detailed and accurate 3D models for seamless transitions from physical to digital. It ensures that printed parts fit perfectly and function as intended, making it indispensable for 3D printing.

Dear customers, please note that we’ll be open throughout the upcoming festive season to assist you with your 3D scanning and reverse engineering needs. As usual, we’ll be closed from 15th April 2025 to 10th May 2025 for our annual break.

Thank you for your support, and we look forward to serving you.
