Scanning Equipment

Comet 8 Blue Light Scanner

A brand-new addition to our 3d scanning & digitizing equipment is the state-of-the-art Comet 8 blue light 3D scanning system. It is a compact 3d sensor with an advanced 8-megapixel scanning camera. Its extreme resolution and accuracy help in scanning extremely small and complicated artifacts with ease. The 8th generation Colin 3D software breezes through the scanning process.  The software finalizes the scans into usable STL, OBJ, or other faceted 3d models.

The built-in capability to work with photogrammetry targets makes it a modular measurement system. Large assemblies and even commercial airplanes can be mapped out first with targets and then scanned with full accuracy. The Comet rotary table adds some semi-autonomous functionality to the scanning process. This newest addition to the scanning lineup is a step further in advancing 3d scanning and reverse engineering technology.

Imetric 3D Photogrammetry

The ICam Photogrammetry systems are high-accuracy portable CMMs. They can be used to determine the 3D coordinates of targets, points materialized with adapters as well as features. The system is an extremely portable option we offer with our 3d scanning & digitizing equipment, i.e. the measurement system comes to the workpiece. The ease of use, flexibility, speed, and accuracy is unsurpassed. Even very large objects like ships and bridges can be measured.

Raminder did a fantastic job scanning some parts for me. VERY reasonable pricing for the quality of scan provided and the turn around time was ridiculously fast. 10/10 would recommend and will be using again!

I found Applications 3D online, wanting to get an item scanned accurately. Couldn't have been happier with their services. They were fast, great communications, and the end result was excellent. I will use them again in the future. This job was for an individual project and they did not hesitate with their services. It was also at a lower cost than I could find anywhere in my state. Highly recommend their services. Thank You Raminder-Applications 3D

I approached Applications 3D with an existing 3D scan file that I didn’t know what to do with. After speaking with Raminder over the phone, we scheduled an appointment same day to review the file. He looked at my file, and gave me a quote for his service - to produce a Step file that could be used to CNC a master mold from the shape that I had scanned. He was finished with the design in 1 week, but there was a slight issue which I brought to his attention, and he immediately worked on creating a solution, which was resolved by the end of that same day!! I honestly couldn’t be more happy with the result, and very much look forward to working together with Raminder & his company again for more 3D modeling work.
