Applications

Our customers rent 3D scanners for a variety of applications

ZEISS ScanPort analysis

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.

ZEISS Inspect software

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 3D scanning

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.

3D scanning heritage preservation

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:

3D Scanner Hire FAQs

Get answers to your rental questions

Which is the best scanner for me to rent?
There are several scanners that we rent and dependent on your application, one of our scanning experts will be able to discuss your needs and recommend the best scanner for the application. If we don’t have the correct scanner for your application, don’t worry, we will let you know!
What will I get when I rent a scanner from Central Scanning Limited?
On a first rental, we will provide you with training on how to use the scanner and the accompanying software. During the rental, we will be able to provide additional phone and e-mail support to help you get the best from the scanner.
How do I get the scanner?
On a first rental, we encourage collection of the scanner from our facility so that we can provide the training on collection and go through the system and all the items included in the rental.
What is included in the rental?

As a standard rental, you will get the following:

  • Scanner
  • Laptop with scanning software
  • All cables
  • Power supplies
  • Storage case
What is expected from me / my company?
Before we accept an order for a rental, we need you to provide a ‘proof of insurance’. This would normally be an extension your company equipment insurance to cover the scanner you are renting and will need to have the scanner listed on the document. Failing that, we will ask for a fully refundable deposit for the value of the scanner that will be returned on receipt of the scanner in good condition to Central Scanning Ltd.
Is there anything else I need to know?
If you are renting a scanner from us with a view to potentially buying one after, we will be able to return 50% of the value of the rental off the price of the new scanner. This is only for rentals within a 3-month period of purchase and only applicable on new scanners.
What happens if I need the scanner for longer than expected?
If you need to extend your rental, it is not normally a problem as we have several scanners that we rent. We would ask that you contact us as soon as you know ref extending so that we can review the current rental commitments and make sure that we do not let anyone down.
What happens if I need it for less time than expected?
Talk to us but generally speaking, once the rental period is committed, we do not offer any refunds on unused days as we would have booked the scanner out for that period and hence potentially turned other people down who may have wanted to rent the same piece of equipment.
