Have a component scanned – a quick digital basis for your technical project
We digitize technical components, spare parts and machine parts as usable 3D data. Ideal for design, documentation, internal coordination and the preparation of further technical steps.
- For technical components, spare parts and machine parts
- For mechanical engineering, maintenance, development and production
- Quick initial assessment of your project
- B2B service for industrial applications
Just a few photos are often enough for an initial assessment.
You have a real component but no complete data yet?
This is completely normal. Photos, rough measurements and a brief description of the destination are often sufficient for an initial assessment.
From the real part to digital geometry
Not sure whether you should have a component scanned or measured?
Not every project starts with measurement technology or target/actual comparisons. Often, the first step is to make an existing component available as a digital basis. This is exactly what our 3D component scan service is designed for.
If you primarily want to digitally record a real part, this is the right place for you.
If you are primarily interested in test reports, tolerances, quality control or target/actual comparisons, our page for 3D component measurement is more suitable.
This page is right for you if you …
- want to have a component digitized
- need a 3D basis for internal processes
- want to record a real part as a data set
- want to make a quick request for a specific component
The surveying page is better if you …
- Require target/actual comparisons
- Test reports or QA-relevant data need
- Evaluate tolerances
- Measurement technology in the foreground
When companies have a component scanned
A 3D scan of a component is always useful when a real part needs to be available quickly and cleanly as a digital geometry. In practice, this often concerns technical components for which a reliable data basis is required before further steps are initiated in the company.
Typical situations are not theoretical, but very concrete: A spare part is physically available, but not digitally. A technical part needs to be documented internally. An assembly needs to be digitally recorded so that development, design or production can build on it. Or a company wants to digitize an existing component properly before deciding how to process it further.
- Real component available, but no usable digital basis
- Spare part or machine part is to be documented or reproduced
- Component should be digitally available internally for voting
- Technical geometry should be captured cleanly
- The project should be launched quickly and pragmatically
What you get when you have a component scanned
The aim is not just any scan, but a digital basis that your company can continue to work with in a meaningful way. That’s why the focus is not just on the technology, but on the usable result.
A real technical part is digitally captured as 3D geometry.
This creates a usable data basis for internal technical processes.
Example: An existing spare part is digitized so that it can be documented and further processed within the company. This means that a real component can then be reproduced in real life.
Which components we often record digitally
Most projects don’t start with perfect documents, but with a real part, a few photos and a brief explanation of the goal. This is exactly what the process is designed for. Typical inquiries concern individual technical parts, spare parts or components from industrial applications that are to be digitally recorded in order to build on them.
- Machine parts
- Spare parts
- Castings
- Milled parts
- Turned parts
- Housing
- Brackets
- Connecting parts
- Technical assemblies
- Prototypes and special parts
Why companies have components digitized
Faster from the real part to the digital basis
Instead of losing time internally with manual recording or unclear coordination, the existing component is made directly available digitally.
Better basis for technical decisions
As soon as a component is available as a digital geometry, further steps in the company can be planned in a much more structured way.
Less friction in design, development and coordination
A cleanly digitized component facilitates communication between departments and reduces unnecessary intermediate steps.
You have a component but no complete data yet?
That is not a problem. A simple starting point is often enough for an initial assessment. In many cases, a few photos, rough measurements and a brief description of what the digital recording is needed for are sufficient.
Often sufficient for the initial assessment:
- 2 to 5 photos
- Approximate dimensions
- Material specification, if known
- Brief description of the objective
Have your project assessed at short notice
Send us photos or key data of your component. We will check the feasibility, cost and the most sensible approach for your project.
B2B service for technical projects
Suitable for mechanical engineering, maintenance and technical development
Our service is deliberately aimed at B2B customers with real technical requirements. The service is particularly relevant for companies that work with real components and quickly need a digital basis to advance a project internally.
Typical fields of application are
- Mechanical engineering
- Special machine construction
- Maintenance
- Production environments
- Technical development
- Spare parts management
- industrial service companies
A 3D scan is useful if a real part needs to be quickly available as a digital geometry.
This saves time in subsequent technical processes and improves internal processing.
Example: An existing machine part is digitized so that it can be used for documentation and further technical coordination.
Technical projects don’t need big promises, but a clean process
When a company wants to have a component scanned, what counts above all is reliable and realistic project management. The decisive factor is not as much advertising language as possible, but a clear assessment, a comprehensible procedure and a result that can be used sensibly within the company.
This is precisely why we take a close look at each individual request in advance and assess its feasibility. If everything fits, we send you an offer. If it doesn’t, we clarify this with you and then send you an offer. In rare cases, it can also happen that a project is not realistically feasible. We will of course inform you of this.
