3D Scanning small objects for reverse engineering - 10 microns

To make it easy, we have only three categories for small object 3D scanning. Simple, Intermediate and Complex. Each one of these categories represents the amount of work necessary to create your model. The geometry of the object is the biggest factor in this industry. Obviously, the more faces, facets, holes, hidden features, the more work involved to accurately capture the data from which to create the 3D model.

The maximum size for 3D scanning very small items @ 10μm is 100 x 100 x 75mm. Every tiny detail is captured and rendered in 3D with incredible precision.

For simple objects, the process involves scanning from a few angles to capture the basic shape and features. This is relatively quick and straightforward. Intermediate objects require more scans from different angles to capture additional details and complex shapes. These scans are then aligned and merged in post-processing to create a comprehensive model. Complex objects, with intricate geometries and numerous hidden features, require even more scans and meticulous post-processing to accurately capture all the details.

The precision of 10 microns ensures that even the tiniest features are faithfully reproduced in the 3D model. This level of detail is particularly valuable in industries like jewelry design, microelectronics, and medical device manufacturing where every micron matters. This level of accuracy allows for precise measurements, quality control, and the ability to create highly detailed replicas or prototypes. It’s important to note that the size of the object being scanned can impact the time required for scanning and post-processing. Additionally, the complexity of the geometry can also affect the scanning process.

Whether you need a simple, intermediate, or complex 3D scan of a small object, our advanced scanning technology and expertise can deliver accurate models that meet your specific requirements.

FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)

What is the maximum object size for 3D scanning very small parts?

The maximum size for 3D scanning very small items at a precision of 10 microns is 100 x 100 mm

We make it as simple as possible. We have three categories under which an object is classified. Simple, Moderate and Complex

Simple: $159
Moderate: $199
Complex: $299

A precision of 10 microns is used to ensure even the tiniest features of small objects are accurately captured during 3D scanning

The reason for the restriction on object size is due to the focal area of the desktop small object 3D scanner. The object is first secured to the platform. The program then runs a circuit of scans to capture the details in a full 180 degree hemisphere. If the small part is complex, additional manual frames are added to ensure everything is fully captured.

Yes, whether you need a simple, intermediate, or complex 3D scan of a small object, the process supports high-precision scanning at 10 microns

The 10 micron precision ensures that even the tiniest features of small objects are accurately captured, which is crucial for detailed reverse engineering
