        • A HUGE THANK YOU to Joe and Chris at Thinglab. I am new to the world of 3D printing and have now had my Replicator 2X for 1 month completing 200 hours of print time with only minor fine tuning required, Joe has been there to help me out with advice along the way. The team at Makerbot also deserve a HUGE THANK YOU, the Replicator 2X is a great product and is easy to use. They have also been quick to reply to any questions relating to their software (Makerware), I cannot wait to see what Makerbot come up with next. Keep up the great work!

        Scanning

        Performed either on site or in our Yarraville studio. Using our diverse range of scanners we are able to achieve fantastic results.

        Our diverse range of 3D scanners can scan objects from as small as dental screws right up to large heavy industrial equipment such as trains. Our knowledge and experience using these scanners means we are efficient and are able to produce high quality results.

        Post Processing

        Reverse Engineering, sculpting and design consultancy are just a small selection of the kinds of scanning services we offer.

        The industry leading software we use coupled with our experience means that what we can do with 3D scan data is vast.

        We can simply scan an object and provide you with an STL file which can easily be 3D printed (check out our 3D printing services). We can alter, manipulate and sculpt data based on your requirements and projects.

        We can Reverse Engineer your scanned object to produce a full parametric model.

        Have a look at our Reverse Engineering page to see what is possible.

        3D Scanning Services for Large Complex Objects

        Our team were challenged with accurately scanning a Land Rover chassis to help Jaunt with converting vehicles from diesel to electric.
        “Scanning a chassis can be challenging as there are a lot of occlusions and in this case we needed a full model meaning scanning from multiple angles,” said Myers. “It was also quite low to the ground with not much clearance so we needed to utilize Leo’s inverted scanning and on-board display which helped, and saved a huge amount of time.”

          Frequently Asked Questions

          +What is 3D scanning?
          3D scanning is a method of digitising physical objects to create 3-dimensional computational geometry (CAD). There are various scanning technologies used to achieve this, the main two being white light and laser.
          +What are its applications?
          Industries such as game creation, reverse engineering, heritage, the arts, industrial design, architectural survey and film are all benefiting from the advantages of 3D scanning.
          +Are there any limitations?
          3D scanners can capture almost anything you put in front of them large or small; however there are some limitations including, occluded areas, very shiny and very dark objects. There are normally workarounds for these. Please contact us if you require any further information.
          +How long does scanning take?
          We specialise in some of the fastest 3D scanners on the market. Each object is different and requires different amounts of post-processing work, however typically models are created in hours or days, rather than weeks.
          +I’d like more information, what’s the next step?
          To receive a quote or discuss the best solution for your requirements please contact us, ensuring you include images of your proposed scan subject(s). Please include any specific requirements including file formats, and the end use application of the data. If possible, please also state your deadline.
