Engineering

Toggle

3D scanning accelerates reverse engineering by capturing accurate geometry from existing parts. Engineers can recreate components, update legacy parts, and design custom add-ons that fit existing products. With precise scan data replacing manual measurement, development becomes faster and more reliable.

Art + Design

Toggle

3D scanning expands creative possibilities by capturing real-world forms with precision and converting them into flexible digital models. Artists and designers can adapt scanned objects, develop custom pieces like jewellery or props, and use accurate references to streamline digital sculpting and concept development.

Healthcare

Toggle

3D scanning supports healthcare professionals by capturing patient-specific anatomy quickly and accurately. It streamlines the creation of orthotics, prosthetics, dental appliances, and other personalised devices, helping clinicians achieve better fit and outcomes while reducing the need for traditional casting.

Culture + Heritage

Toggle

3D scanning offers a non-contact, detailed way to document cultural artefacts and historical environments. It preserves fragile objects digitally, supports conservation and research, and enables replicas or interactive displays without risking damage to the originals.

Digital Media

Toggle

3D scanning enhances digital media workflows by capturing detailed models of people, objects, and environments for CGI, VFX, gaming, and virtual experiences. It provides a fast, accurate foundation for digital doubles, props, and scenes, reducing modelling time and improving realism.
