Digitise reality
3D Scanning
3D scanning digitises physical objects and creates precise 3D models. It's invaluable for design and reverse engineering, allowing detailed form capture and part analysis that would be unfeasible to measure by hand. 3D scanning enhances quality control when used to accurately compare parts to CAD designs ensuring manufacturing precision. We can also support in preserving cultural artefacts through non-intrusive methods of study and recreation.
Scan to CAD
Reverse Engineering
Designers and engineering teams value reverse engineering for its efficiency and cost-effectiveness in replicating, developing, or archiving real-world components. We produce usable CAD models, aiding development, analysis, or manufacturing. Formeon capture and recreate intricate details and complex surfaces, resulting in substantial time and cost savings while reducing the risk of human errors during measurement and replication.
3D Scanning Benefits
We 3D scan objects and assemblies for measuring, inspection or referencing purposes across many sectors and industries. Here’s how we help.
- Reverse engineering
- Part inspection
- Reference model creation
- Fast, accurate and reliable data
Maximise Resource
Remove the unreliable and challenging drain on resource of measuring or recreating complex surfaces and parts by hand

Why reverse engineer parts?
Create CAD From a 3D Scan
An efficient way of generating CAD data for manufacturing in the absence of existing part information.
Renew Design Intent
Restore worn faces, warped walls or broken features and bring a part back to its original specification.
No Hand Measurements
Digitally capturing the features of an object removes the need for complex and often error-prone and time-consuming hand measurement.

How We 3D Scan Objects
Acquiring data
How we work
To conduct on-site 3D scanning effectively, it's crucial to adhere to site-specific regulations, maintain technical flexibility, and establish strong client cooperation. These factors work together to ensure an efficient scanning process that's environmentally conscious and yields valuable data.
Part Review
We start by gaining an understanding of the intended purpose of the data, as this will impact subsequent stages and ensure that any scanning conducted is thorough yet cost-effective. Additionally, we assess the size, material, and complexity of the component.
Setting Up
Either in our scanning studio or on-site, we create and implement a scanning strategy to ensure we capture all required surfaces and features. We then get started randomly applying scanning targets or reference artefacts to make sure the 3D scanner will be well-referenced in 3D space.
3D Scanning
After calibrating our 3D scanner, we start the scan. We cover every part that requires data collection, just like digitally spraying paint on it. This data is then sent to our computer as a point cloud for further processing.
Post Processing
After capturing the required geometry, the point cloud data is transformed into a mesh and cleansed of any scanning artefacts or background surfaces. We then either provide this refined mesh as an .STL file or proceed with reverse engineering.
Our Work in 3D Scanning
Nissan 370z Rays Wheel
Using a 3D scanner captures information at such a rapid pace it is hard to imagine ever creating this information by hand. Using our scanner, we’re able to capture the compound-curving surfaces of the 19″ alloys and tyres in extreme detail.
This was all done without the need for sprays or special tricks to capture the glossy surfaces or black, energy-absorbing rubber.
Applications
- Assembly fit and clash analysis
- Geometry replication and reverse engineering
- Quality control and inspection
Titanium Wheelchair Frame
Titanium, known for its strength and lightness, is ideal for crafting durable, lightweight wheelchair frames.
This process ensures accurate replication or modification of the frame, enhancing the wheelchair's functionality and comfort for users, crucial in mobility aids. 3D scanning thus plays a vital role in customising and improving these essential assistive devices.
Applications
- Digital archiving of unique frame designs
- Enhanced user fit and comfort
- Analysis of competitor frame geometries
- Quality control and inspection against design specifications
VW Amarok Grille
3D scanning parts to an accuracy of less than half the thickness of a human hair means the data you get can be used in confidence and create parts that require tight tolerances for quality control or fitment.
We 3D scanned a VW Amarok grille and were able to capture its complex form, intricate assembly clips and deep pockets that some scanning technologies simply cannot reach.
Applications
- Help design perfect-fitting after market products
- Make sure bodywork modifications work within an overall assembly
- Production quality inspection
Gearbox Input Shaft
3D scanning of a gearbox input shaft, a critical component transferring power from the engine to the gearbox, enables exact digital replication for reverse engineering and accurate reproduction or redesign.
Essential for quality control, it provides detailed dimensional inspection to ensure manufacturing precision. This process is also vital for maintenance, analysing wear patterns on the shaft, which is fundamental to guide effective upgrades and enhance gearbox performance.
The non-intrusive, accurate, and efficient scanning process ensures the integrity and functionality of this key mechanical element.
Applications
- Analyse wear and tear
- Reverse engineering for part reproduction
- Dimensional inspection for QC
