3D Scanning Small Objects
3D scanning small objects at high resolution accuracy – Perhaps you are a ‘Wargaming’ enthusiast who has created your own set of character assets, and then want to 3D print them. Or perhaps you are one of the many who have purchased a cheap $1,000 Chinese 3D scanner that promises high resolution 3D scans, but are disappointed with the actual poor low resolution results!
Either way, we have the high-end professional 3D scanning equipment required for achieving amazing 3D scans of your small objects. Additionally, we have over 30 years combined film industry creative and 3D scanning experience and expertise, producing 3D digital assets for many well known big screen movies (Tomb Raider, James Bond 007, Star Wars, Marry Poppins Returns, Terminator Dark Fate, Iron Maiden – The Final Frontier, and many more), and prime time TV shows (BBC1 Spooks, BBC1 Outcasts, BBC1 Hustle, BBC1 Mission 2110, and countless others over the past two decades).
Examples of our Hi-Res 3D Scans (RAW data no cleanup)
Another reason why our 3D scans look so amazing is that one of our ‘Senior 3D Digital Modellers’ also performs a quick once-over of the RAW 3D scan data, which is included in our cost. This is what we refer to as our ‘3D Digital Hand Cleanup and Asset Mastering Service’ (for our 3D scans only), to make sure every 3D digital asset looks spot on and is ready to 3D print. The final 3D digital model files are then supplied to you in either OBJ or STL file format, so ready for 3D printing.
Low Cost 3D Scanners from China – Are they any good?
So many new customers tell us how disappointed they are with the actual results of the cheap Chinese 3D scanner they have purchased. Of course, these devices are no longer cheap if you have spent eight hundred quid on something that delivers poor resolution results. Unsurprisingly, most of these devices then end up on ebay (what a waste of money!). So the simple answer to the above question is they deliver poor scan low resolution results, so “Are they any good = Not really!”.
Having worked in the 3D scanning industry for many years, and following significant investment in many 3D scanning technologies, we know that you get what you pay for when it comes to achieving high resolution 3D scans. Thats’s why the cheapest 3D scanners that we use start at around £43k and range up to over £250k (we kid you not!).
Our Affordable Hi-Res 3D Scans – 3D scanning small objects
Our high-res 3D scans of small objects start from as little as £187.50 (single figure), which also includes our additional ‘Quick Cleanup & Mastering Service’ to make sure the model is a whole object and ready for 3D printing. Final models are supplied in either STL or OBJ file format at 1:1 scale, although these can later be enlarged or made smaller. Please also be aware that we offer a high resolution SLA 3D printing service (not to be confused with low end 3D printing systems.
PLEASE BE AWARE: We do not provide the above services for customers who are looking to reverse engineer parts (automotive or other).
