3D Scanners (UK) based in Coventry offers the most experienced and successful 3D scanning bureau, both  nationally and internationally.

3D scanning services include: Scanning, Meshing, Polygon editing, Surfacing and Inspection.

Non-contact scanning
This method is predominantly used for parts which are flexible, although also dependent on the material and shape of the part. The scanner collects approximately 23,000 points per second making this much faster than traditional methods.

CGI Scanning:  ‘Capture Geometry Internally’ is a system ideally used for small plastic components where both internal and external dimensions are required for either reverse engineering or inspection. The process involves setting the component in resin, which provides support as thin slices are machined away.

CT Scanning or Computed Tomography is a non-destructive system ideal for small transparent parts where again, both internal and external dimensions are required.
