Prototek will launch a consolidated website at prototek.com by the end of the year. Midwest Prototyping invites you to continue receiving high-quality parts—launch date TBD. Stay tuned.

3D Scanning

handySCAN 3D Scanner Illustration

What is 3D scanning technology?

3D laser scanning uses a laser to capture the shape of physical objects. This technology is a non-contact and non-destructive way to capture the object’s exact size and shape while creating a 3D digital copy of the object on a computer.   The process is very fast, gathering up to 1,300,000 measurements/s and equally precise, measuring to .0009″. Once the 3D digital copy is made, the object can be reverse-engineered and modified in CAD.

What are some of the applications in which to use 3D scanning?

  • Quality Control
  • CAD Design
  • Replacement Parts
  • Tooling Design
  • Assembly and Production
  • Prototyping
