3D Scanning
The process of capturing the form and dimensions of a physical object using a 3D scanner. Our 3D scanning service creates precise digital models for applications like reverse engineering, quality inspection, and product design. 3D scanning offers several significant benefits, including exceptional accuracy and efficiency. It excels in capturing detailed geometries and complex surfaces, that are unfeasible to measure manually and replicate in CAD.
Scan to CAD
Reverse Engineering
Engineering teams and designers use reverse engineering for its efficiency and cost-effectiveness in reproducing, designing or preserving real-world components. It generates usable CAD models, supporting development, analysis, or manufacturing processes. We excel in capturing intricate details and complex surfaces, leading to significant time and cost reductions and minimising the potential for human errors in measurements 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
We take care of the unreliable and labour-intensive practice of manually measuring or reproducing complex surface features and components.
Precise Data
Utilising metrology grade 3D scanners ensures more reliable results than error-prone hand measurements, capturing data points quickly and precisely.
On-location 3D Scanning
For large or fragile objects, Formeon offers the convenience of on-site 3D scanning services. Alternatively, for smaller items, clients can opt to send them to our studio using a courier.

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.
Remove Hand Measuring Parts
3D scanning is much quicker than hand measurements, significantly reducing the time required for data collection and recreation.

How We 3D Scan Objects
Acquiring data
How we work
Successful on-site 3D scanning requires a blend of compliance with site-specific regulations and operations, technical adaptability, and robust client collaboration. These components collectively guarantee that the scanning procedure is efficient, considerate of the environment and produces data that is valuable and meets the requirements.
Part Review
We begin by understanding what the data will be used for as this will influence the next stages and ensure any scanning done is comprehensive yet cost-effective. We also review the part's size, material and complexity.
Setting Up
Whether we're in our scanning studio or out in the field, we create a plan to scan everything we need. Then, we place scanning markers or reference objects randomly to help the 3D scanner work accurately in 3D space.
3D Scanning
After ensuring our 3D scanner is freshly calibrated we begin the scan. As if digitally spray painting the part, we make sure we scan every area that needs data collecting. This is then fed to our computer as a point cloud so we can work on it in the next step.
Post Processing
Once all necessary geometry is captured, the point cloud data is converted into a mesh and refined to remove scanning artefacts and extraneous elements. From here, we either deliver the refined mesh data as an .STL or advance to the reverse engineering phase.
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
