Project Inquiry · 3D Scanning & Engineering
Project Inquiries & Contact
Component, machine, industrial plant, building, site, or cultural heritage site:
Briefly describe your project to us. We’ll determine which method makes the most sense and what data you actually need for design, planning, documentation, or further use.
On-site & Mail-in Service
On weekdays, we usually respond within 24 hours
A Selection of Our Clients and Institutions
Projects for industry, small and medium-sized businesses, research, and other institutions
in Germany and Europe.
Just get started
You don’t need to be familiar with the 3D process.
Tell us about the object and your goal. We’ll determine whether a 3D scan, laser scan, photogrammetry, drone survey, reverse engineering, or a combination of these is the best approach.
A few sentences and some photos are often enough for us to determine the next logical steps.
1
What information needs to be collected, and what will you use the data for afterward?
2
Smartphone photos, drawings, CAD data, or plans will help us assess your request quickly.
3
We tailor the method, accuracy, and output format to the specific task at hand.
On weekdays, we usually respond within 24 hours.
PROJECT INQUIRY
Request a non-binding project quote
Please briefly describe your project. You can submit photos, drawings, CAD data, or other available documents directly with your submission.
NDA upon request
Confidential projects are possible. A non-disclosure agreement and agreed-upon data transfer channels can be established on a project-by-project basis.
Would you like us to call you back? Please provide your phone number—we’ll get in touch.
Typical Project Inquiries
From individual components to facilities, buildings, and sites.
You do not need to assign your project to a specific service in advance.
These examples illustrate typical tasks in which we capture real-world geometry and process it for further use.
3D scan & reverse engineering
3D scanning of components, CAD reconstruction, digitization
of existing parts, spare parts issues, and target-actual comparisons.
Machinery, Equipment & Brownfield
As-is assessment, retrofit, as-built documentation, equipment relocation,
plant layout, and technical documentation.
Drone Surveying & Inspection
Orthophotos, point clouds, 3D models, DSM/DTM, volumes,
construction progress, and project-specific inspections.
Machinery, Facilities, and Technical Environments
Real-world geometry as the basis for design, planning,
documentation, remodeling, or other digital applications.
Building Scans & As-Built Digitization
Buildings, interior and exterior spaces, point clouds, and scan-to-BIM
as a reliable foundation for as-built data and planning.
Texture, cultural heritage, or not yet clearly classified?
You can also request realistic 3D digitization, museum and cultural heritage projects
, and special geometries directly through this page.
Here’s how it works
From the request to usable data.
We’ve deliberately kept the introduction simple. We’ll only go into technical details
where they’re relevant to feasibility, accuracy, and results.
01
Inquiries & Documents
Please send us the assignment, photos, and any existing documents.
02
Short Test
We evaluate feasibility, procedures, accuracy, and meaningful results.
03
Offer & Coordination
You will receive a quote, or we’ll briefly go over any outstanding issues over the phone.
04
Data Collection & Delivery
Data collection at our facility or on-site, and delivery of the agreed-upon data
and models.
Technically appropriate rather than following a cookie-cutter approach
What You Can Expect from Scanmotion.
Up to approximately 0.01 mm
for suitable technical applications; depending on the method,
the object, the surface, and the measurement task.
STL · OBJ · STEP · IGES
, as well as point clouds, meshes, CAD files, and other project-specific results.
Germany & Europe
Data capture at Scanmotion or directly at your location.
15+ years of 3D experience
Experience with technical components, systems, buildings,
Surfaces and a wide variety of geometries.
In a nutshell
Questions to Ask Before Submitting a Project Request
These questions will help you get started. We’ll then go over the technical details at
to ensure they’re tailored to your specific task.
In most cases, a brief description, a few photos, and—if available—approximate dimensions, drawings, CAD data, or information about the intended use are sufficient.
No. Based on the task at hand, we determine whether a 3D scan, laser scan, photogrammetry, drone survey, reverse engineering, or a combination of these is the best approach.
Yes. Depending on the project, we survey non-transportable components, machinery, industrial facilities, buildings, sites, and cultural assets on-site in Germany and Europe.
Yes. Confidential projects are possible. If necessary, we will work with you in advance to establish a confidentiality agreement and appropriate data transfer channels.
Briefly discuss the project
A few pictures and a brief description are enough to get started.
Not sure exactly what services you need yet?
Send us the project details. We’ll work together to figure out the technical approach.
