3D Part Scanning Services with Leapfrog Scanning

3D laser scanning is an incredibly versatile solution for capturing precise measurements of almost any object. Whether your part or machine is as large as a car or even bigger, our team utilizes highly portable, tripod-mounted scanners to scan it right on-site. We deliver scan results in fabrication-ready formats like STP and SolidWorks, ensuring seamless integration into your workflow.

Common Applications Include:

✅ Surface analysis for flatness and precision
✅ Shape capture for remodeling and design modifications
✅ Reverse engineering legacy parts, molds, and components
✅ Artistic and sculptural projects requiring digital replication

How Accurate Are the Results?

3D scanning delivers precision up to 1mm for most applications. Depending on the scanner used, even finer accuracy can be achieved. We tailor the scanning method to match your minimum accuracy requirement, ensuring efficiency without unnecessary costs. By determining the least accuracy needed for your project, we can optimize the process to save time and reduce expenses.

Why Do Companies Scan Large Objects?

Businesses utilize 3D scanning for a variety of reasons, including:

✅ Archiving or reproducing molds, fixtures, and tooling
✅ Documenting and preserving hand-built designs
✅ Reverse-engineering parts without existing drawings
✅ Duplicating or re-creating parts for manufacturing
✅ Adapting designs for modern production methods like 3D printing
✅ Inspecting parts to ensure precision and quality control
✅ Generating CAD models for government certification
✅ Providing models for engineering simulations (FEA & CFD)
✅ Creating new molds or forming tools for production

What Can You Do with a 3D Model Created by Large Object 3D Scanning Services?

The high-quality models produced through 3D scanning and reverse engineering are incredibly versatile. Once your object is digitized, you can:

✅ Machine or mold new parts
✅ 3D print prototypes or replacements
✅ Modify and refine designs
✅ Generate 2D technical drawings
✅ Create exploded 3D visualizations & animations
✅ Compare scanned parts for quality control
✅ Design mating components or custom packaging
✅ Send digital files overseas for manufacturing—no need to ship the physical part
✅ Archive the model for future reference, ensuring the part can be recreated if lost or damaged
