3D SCANNING
What is a 3D scan?
3D scanning is the process of creating a three-dimensional copy of an object using a special device – a 3D scanner:
- Car parts
- Room
- Human
- Jewelry
- Sculptures
- Prototypes

Our algorithm makes it faster and easier to go to the manufactured part than ever before
3D scanners measure complex objects, and they can greatly speed up the design workflow, and the 3D scan data itself allows you to find problem areas, correct parts with test runs before you produce a physical object. Understanding the characteristics of your parts is critical in today’s fast-paced marketplace.
- Scan physical engineering objects and convert them into a digital 3D model for further improvement or fabrication.
- Scanning resolution of 20-50 microns with transfer of all parameters (color, texture, shape).
- The size of objects for 3D scanning can vary dramatically, from a small part to an industrial production line that can occupy several workshops.
After obtaining 3D data with the 3D scanner, we can make 3D-modeling, reverse engineering or 3D-Print.

Short FAQ
The minimum object size is 10×10 mm, and the maximum size is unlimited, even if the object is not contained in the scanner field, you can scan the object in parts, and then it is all combined.
Ideal for 3D scanning is a white matte surface, in principle all surfaces are scanned normally, the exceptions are: black, glossy and mirror surfaces, but this is all easily corrected by a special matting spray with talcum powder, which is easily erased after scanning.
After scanning, you will have a 3D model file in STL and OBJ format, which is a cloud of points of your object, fully suitable for rendering, 3D printing or subsequent reproduction of a similar 3D model
The cost depends on the complexity of the geometry of the object and the number of objects, if you have several similar-sized objects, we do a discount
After we have scanned the fragment, the format of the resulting file is STL, ideal to be able to print directly in 3D. In some cases we have to process the surface of the 3D file to improve its surface. This means that we can manipulate, edit, inspect, scale or reproduce a physical object with 3D printing.
As the number of parts increases, the cost per unit decreases
Using state-of-the-art hardware and software,
we can provide you with a digital version of your physical object.
Scanning the part in 3D
We scan parts from 10 mm to 10 m regardless of material, type or shape.
Provide the scanned file
We provide the digitized part in STL, OBJ, STEP and IGS format for greater compatibility. Or GLTF and GLB for scanned color files.
Doing reverse engineering
If necessary, we remodel from STL to IGS and STEP so that the file is compatible with any CAD software or directly in SolidWorks format.
Reengineering. Obtaining the entire geometry to perform the reengineering process or to take steps to create customizations.
From the scanned part we can get any information: planes, axes, center distances, diameters… This facilitates the reverse engineering process, because we refer to all important geometries in 3D space.
For example, if we are interested in getting motorcycle chassis centers to create elements, we may have centers that are perfectly referenced to position new manufactured elements.
3D printed copies. Scan to 3D print exact replicas.
3D scanning is the best tool to get a 3D model (.STL) for further fabrication. Depending on the end use of the part to be 3D printed, we choose the most appropriate 3D printing technology and material to meet all needs and budgets. However, a duplicate part using 3D printing will have two limitations: the resolution of the 3D printer or the resolution of the scanner. That’s why at 3DinUkraine we use exactly the same technology that maps all the details of the sculpture for further quality production. This way you get the best level of detail and data that you can get at the moment.
