Digital references
Capture an existing object as a mesh that can support reference work and planning. Include the object size and the details that are most important to your project.
Pat Prints Your Parts / Boca Raton, FloridaSmall-part 3D scanning
Small-part 3D scanning
in Boca Raton.
Bring an existing object into the digital world. We capture small parts and prepare digital meshes for reference, archiving or the next design step.
01 / What we can work on
Start with the object you have
A scan captures the shape of a physical object. Tell us what you want to do with the result so we can discuss the detail, accessible surfaces and output files your project needs.
Object archives
Preserve the shape of an object in a digital file. We agree on capture scope and output formats around how you plan to store or use the mesh.
Mesh cleanup
Prepare captured geometry for the agreed next step. Tell us which areas need attention and how you intend to use the digital model.
Scanning with CAD design
Use an original part as a starting point for a design conversation. We review critical dimensions and scope any custom modeling separately from object capture.
02 / Getting startedA clear path
A clear path
to your next part.
We review the details with you, define the work and agree on the quote before starting.
Send photos and approximate size
Show the object from several angles. Include its surface or material, the features you need captured and the intended use of the scan.
Agree on capture and files
We discuss required detail, access to surfaces, mesh cleanup and output formats. Share any specific dimensional requirements before work begins.
Arrange the object and delivery
We are based in Boca Raton, Florida. For shipped objects, we agree on packaging, handling and return arrangements alongside the scanning scope.
03 / Your questionsAbout
About
3d scanning.
What should I send for a scanning quote?
Send clear photos, approximate dimensions, the surface or material, required output files and what you intend to use the scan for.
Can I ship an object for scanning?
We can discuss shipping an object to Boca Raton and returning it after scanning. Send its size, photos and handling needs first.
Does a scan include a custom CAD model?
Object capture and custom CAD modeling are separate project steps. We discuss whether you need a reference mesh, cleanup or an additional design deliverable before quoting.
What scan file formats will I receive?
We agree on output formats before starting. Tell us which software or next process will use the file so we can review the required deliverables.
