Scan to 3D print
Scan it, print it, from one building. We scan the object, prepare the file and our sister business 3D Printworx prints it in nylon or resin, as a replica, a scaled copy or a replacement part.
- Scan and print together
- One building
- Reduced, actual or enlarged
- Any scale
- HP MJF and SLA
- Nylon · resin
Nobody arguing about whose file broke
Scanning in one place and printing in another usually means a file that does not quite work, with two suppliers blaming each other. Here the scanning team and the printing team share a building, so the file is prepared for the printer it is going to.
Replicas, scaled copies, display pieces and replacement parts are all routine. A discontinued part that other people also need may qualify for free scanning and engineering through Scan-to-Part at 3D Printworx.
How a job runs
- 01
Scan
At the resolution the print will show.
- 02
Prepare
Made watertight, scaled, hollowed, split and joined where needed.
- 03
Print
HP Multi Jet Fusion nylon or industrial SLA resin at 3D Printworx.
- 04
Finish
Cleaned, dyed or finished and posted.
What you get back
In the formats your team already uses. Ask if you need something else.
Printed part
Finished and delivered.
Print-ready file
Yours to keep for the next one.
CAD if needed
For functional parts, a reverse engineered model before printing.
The kit we use
The same scanners, arms and software we sell, train on and support. Like what you see? You can buy or hire it too.
FAQ
If yours is not here, ring 0330 229 0175 and ask for the scanning team.
Not answered here?
Ask the engineers who run the machines. We answer the same working day.
What can you print in?
Nylon (PA12 and PA11) on HP Multi Jet Fusion, plus a range of SLA resins. 3D Printworx will recommend one for the use.
Is a mesh enough, or do I need CAD?
For a replica, a mesh is enough. For a functional part that must fit, we reverse engineer it to CAD first so the dimensions are right, not just the shape.
Tell us what needs scanning
A photo, a rough size and what you need out of it. We will come back with a fixed price and a date, and if scanning is not the right answer, we will say so.
