Why Scanmotion 3D?

Scanmotion 3D digitizes physical components with high geometric precision. The captured data completely reproduces the real shape of an object and can be used immediately for design, mechanical engineering, prototype development, spare parts production and technical documentation. Companies use this method to efficiently capture complex geometries, reduce measurement effort and speed up development processes.

Our technical capabilities

We capture components using the latest 3D scanning technology.

Measuring accuracy: up to 0.01 mm
✓ Object sizes: a few millimetres to several meters
✓ Materials: metal, plastic, wood, ceramics, composites
✓ Output data: STL, OBJ, PLY, STEP, IGES, etc.

Complex shapes also possible:

  • Free-form surfaces

  • Undercuts

  • matt & glossy surfaces

  • Technical detail geometries

Reverse engineering (optionally bookable)

Many components have to be redesigned or further developed.
A raw scan is not enough for this – companies need real CAD data.

We supply both:

Reverse engineering – CAD traceability from scan

Ideal for:

Reproduction

Spare parts without drawing

Mold & tool making

Construction & Redesign

technical documentation

Typical areas of application

3D scans are suitable for mechanical engineering components, prototypes, functional models, spare parts without documentation, assemblies, individual parts, technical components and test objects. The data is used for design, production, quality control, development processes, deviation analyses and actual/target comparisons.

Example work 3D scan industry and 3D scan components of any kind

Sample data for download – check our scan and CAD quality

Before you start your own project, you can get an impression of the data quality. Simply download our neutral sample files and test them in your CAD or measuring tool.

The sample files are anonymized examples and are for quality assessment purposes only. We naturally treat our own customer projects confidentially.

This is how the process works

Why Scanmotion-3D?

✓ Industrial precision – up to 0.01 mm
✓ Scan from the smallest (approx. 1 cm) to large objects (> 2 m)
✓ Reverse engineering + CAD from a single source
✓ Fast turnarounds (24-72 h)
✓ Individual technical advice

We work for engineers, mechanical engineers, designers, R&D teams and manufacturing companies.

FAQ area

What is the difference between 3D scanning and reverse engineering?2025-12-01T16:10:55+01:00

A 3D scan provides a precise 3D model of the surface (usually STL). Reverse engineering converts this model into fully functional CAD data (STEP/IGES).

What is a 3D scan without texture suitable for?2025-12-01T16:05:39+01:00

For all industrial tasks where shape, dimensions and geometry are important – e.g. mechanical engineering, prototypes, spare parts or CAD design.

What is 3D scanning technology?2025-12-01T16:04:41+01:00

3D scanning technology is a precise measuring process in which the surface of a component is digitally recorded. The result is an exact 3D model that is used for design, production, reverse engineering and quality assurance.

Can I send in several parts?2025-12-01T15:54:19+01:00

Yes – series and assemblies are possible.

How long does an order take?2025-12-01T15:27:38+01:00

Usually 24-72 hours, express possible.

Can I get CAD files instead of STL?2025-12-01T15:25:44+01:00

Yes, we offer complete reverse engineering.

How big can a component be?2025-12-01T15:24:51+01:00

From a few millimeters to well over 2 meters.

What accuracy do you achieve?2025-12-13T08:21:22+01:00

Up to 0.01 mm – ideal for industrial applications.

Scanmotion-3D digitizes technical components using high-precision 3D scanning technology. We capture objects from a few millimetres to over two meters and achieve an accuracy of up to 0.01 mm. The scan data is suitable for design, mechanical engineering, spare parts production, prototypes, quality testing and technical documentation. On request, we can convert the scan data into complete CAD models such as STEP or IGES via reverse engineering. This provides companies with immediately usable digital geometries for development, post-production and manufacturing processes.
