3D scanning and digitization of parts
One of the services we carry out in our laboratory section is the 3D scanning and digitization of parts. At INFINITIA we use the most innovative technology to develop this practice professionally. We adapt to any type of client, demonstrating in the digitized parts precision and mastery.
Find out below what this industrial 3D scanner service consists of and all the advantages it offers to your business.
What is 3D scanning and digitizing?
3D scanning consists of the three-dimensional recreation of an object using a machine called a scanner. The scanner provides all the data needed to capture the geometry of the object and create its 3D model.
We digitize a real object to improve its design. Thanks to the 3D scanning, from INFINITIA we obtain all the necessary information for generate plans of discontinued parts or pieces where we want check dimensions and measurements concrete.
It should be noted that the 3D scanning is a type of metrology . This science consists of the study of measurable properties for their continuous improvement. Thus, we can apply the 3D metrology to different services of our laboratory. In mechanical development it helps us in the parts manufacturing process; giving us information about its dimensions or its manufacturing method.
In prototyping, 3D scanning is useful for digitally fit and design a prototype. Tell us what you need, at INFINITIA we use the latest techniques such as 3D scanning to provide a solution for your project.

Most prominent 3D scanning use cases
The use of 3D scanning and digitization becomes essential in all types of activities and industries. It doesn’t matter the size of the company or the sector it belongs to. At INFINITIA we carry out 3D scanning for industries as diverse as: engineering, architecture, heritage preservation, automotive, agriculture, medicine, aeronautics, household appliances, etc.
And this is it technique allows to analyze and recreate all types of parts and components, made from different materials. Discover what we can do for your company.
What 3D scanners do we work with?
At INFINITIA we work with a professional 3d scanner. That is, scanners of high precision that allow you to accurately capture all kinds of details (deformations, axes, curves…), and with a maximum deviation of ±25μm. In addition, we can scan colors with high resolution, processing up to millions of points per second with an accuracy up to 0.02mm.
Our scanners are handheld and portable. This allows us to transport them anywhere, as well as having better access and movement when scanning 3D parts.
This 3D scanning technology has become an essential means with which converting physical objects into digitized pieces. Thus, we can compatible with CAD digital design software and with other specific software for 3D printing, among others.
Technical specifications of our scanner
Our 3D scanning equipment has the capacity to meet the most rigorous quality standards on the market for part verification and validation.
Below are the technical specifications of our scanner:
- Precision: From 0.02 mm
- Resolution: From 0.01 mm
- Object size: From 10 mm to 10 m
- Color Capture: Yeah
- File formats: STL, OBJ, PLY, IGS, STEP
Digitization of parts for reverse engineering
3D scanning is also a reverse engineering technique. Thanks to this cutting-edge methodology, we can obtain the exact measurements of a product.
TheReverse engineering is aided by 3D scanning to create new products or modify the designs of existing ones. The goal is to optimize parts and components, allowing them to be replicated with new improvements. Thanks to 3D scanning we understand how parts interact with each other.
Examples of our 3D scanning work
Here is a sample of the 3D scanning service we perform at the INFINITIA laboratory. These are some of our latest works:
- Reverse engineering and manufacturing of complex spare parts: In this example, due to the lack of technical documentation and digital information, we carried out 3D scanning at INFINITIA to create 3D models and technical documentation for the manufacture of spare parts.
- Component design using reverse engineering and 3D scanning: On this occasion, we relied on 3D scanning for a reverse engineering process. The client needed to adapt its product to an existing one.
