3D Scanning Services

Full Part Inspection

Using powerful software and today’s latest laser scanning technology we are able to capture thousands of points on any manufactured part and compare it back to its original design intent. With user friendly color mapping, our customers are able to easily pick out dimensional irregularities and wear and tear on tooling.
