Applications
Our customers rent 3D scanners for a variety of applications

Reverse Engineering
Customers need to modify or reproduce an object for which no drawing or 3D model exists. Or they need to quickly redesign or simply modify an existing part to either machine or 3D print it.
Accelerate your design, prototype, and production cycle by weeks and save thousands in the process.

Quality Inspection
Across a variety of industries, there is a growing need for ensuring that product quality levels are as high as possible.
Using a 3D scanner to capture extremely-high-precision scans provides 3D measurements for comprehensive part inspection.

Medical & Dental
Customers rent scanners for medical and dental applications, to obtain precise CAD/CAM-ready 3D scans for lab use and 3D printing. Medical practitioners and dentists no longer need to approximate models for their prosthetics and implants.

Heritage, Art & Design
Customers scan and create replicas of cultural objects for posterity and digitize collections.
Customers also capture digital assets for the game, visual effect and 3D visualization industries by scanning people, or existing physical models.
Our Customers
Our 3D scanner hire services cater to a wide array of industries, including aerospace, automotive, creative, education, energy, forensics, heritage & preservation, medical, plastic parts, rail, and tool making. Learn more about our customers below:
