In-house 3D scanning cost of small parts starts at $100 per hour, depending on part size and complexity. On-site 3D laser scanning is available on a “per-day” rate (call for details). Every scan is different, so call us for a customized quote for your project.

Our Laser is accurate to within .001 of an inch. Having accurate documentation of your existing facilities allows you to collect measurements straight from your computer and proactively manage your assets.

Basically, if time and/or money is valuable to you and what you do is involved with any point of a typical manufacturing process, then you can benefit from 3D scanning!

HyperCAD can export the 3D models directly from our scanner software to all the standard formats:

.dae, .fbx, .ma, .obj, .ply, .stl, .txt, .wrl, .x3d, .x3dz, .zpr

The resolution of a 3D scanner is its capacity to detect and render details on a surface. For instance if you have a small scratch on a wooden surface, the better the resolution, the most precise the scratch will appear on the 3D model.

A mesh is a representation of a 3D model made from thousands of dots (called vertices), all linked together by lines (called edges), which form tiny polygonal shapes (called faces). The assembling of all these geometry elements lead to a mesh-like structure depicting the surface of an object. Components of the polygon mesh simply match the 3D shape of an object, allowing the use of the object’s 3D model in all computer graphics and 3D design software.

 

3D scanning measures the geometry of a real, physical object. A 3D scanner will provide an exact digital copy of virtually anything, including the whole palette of HD colors. This digital copy can then be exported as a polygon mesh file and be used in different computer-aided processes such as 3D modeling, computer-aided design (often referred to as CAD), computer-aided manufacturing or 3D printing.
