3D Digital Models

Once we have captured the 3D measurements of a physical model, we convert that raw data into many different formats for design, engineering, manufacturing, archival, analysis and visualization. Our team has the skills and tools to create everything from a simple point cloud to a fully parametric, 3D CAD model.

The deliverable file formats are listed in order of time and effort to produce them. For example, an STL file can be produced in a few hours while a fully parametric 3D CAD model of the same part will take several days. So, talk with us first before deciding what you need as a project deliverable.

Deliverable File Formats



Point Clouds

  • Raw
  • Cleaned, aligned and merged

Meshes

  • STL
  • VRML
  • OBJ
  • PLY

NURBS surfaces

  • IGES format
  • STEP format
  • DWG format

3D CAD Models

  • Neutral file (IGS, STP, etc.)
  • Native file format
    • Pro/Engineer
    • SolidWorks

Parametric CAD models

  • Pro/Engineer
  • SolidWorks

For communications, we also offer edited scan data (and inspection reports) in a PolyWorks file format that can be viewed, measured and rendered in the free IMView application.

To get started, give us a call to discuss your application and its requirements. Or, visit our quotation page to send us the pertinent details.
