3D Scanning Services in Connecticut

From Physical Part to Digital File to Better Part

Capture reality at .006" resolution. In-house. Today.

Need to digitize a part that only exists in the real world? Our Killingworth, Connecticut facility offers high-resolution 3D scanning that captures every detail, turning physical objects into workable digital files for reverse engineering, quality inspection, or replication.

Our 3D Scanning Capabilities

High-Resolution Scanning

.006" accuracy across the entire scan volume

We capture fine details that others miss:

Worn or damaged parts with irregular surfaces
Complex organic shapes and compound curves
Textured surfaces and fine features
Internal geometries (with proper access)
Parts from matchbox to transmission size

3D Scanned raw casting to cad comparison with machining reference touch points

Multiple Output Formats

Your data, your way:

STL for 3D printing or CAD reference
Point clouds for inspection or validation
Mesh files for visualization
Full parametric CAD models (additional service)
Raw Casting to finished part overlays with touch points

Beyond Just Scanning: Complete Reverse Engineering

Our real value comes after the scan. We can:

Convert scan data to manufacturable CAD models
Identify and correct wear patterns in scanned parts
Create both "as-scanned", "as-designed", and overlaid versions
Add modern improvements while maintaining critical interfaces
Design new parts to fit perfectly with scanned assemblies

Perfect For These Challenges

Classic Automotive

That irreplaceable part that hasn't been made since 1965? We scan it, improve it, and help you manufacture it. Recent projects include:

GT40 headers from original parts
Transaxle housings from vintage castings
Suspension components maintaining original mounting points
Interior trim pieces no longer available

Broken or Worn Parts

Don't have a perfect sample? No problem. We:

Scan the damaged original
Reconstruct the intended geometry
Strengthen weak points in the new design
Offer 3D prints for testing
Deliver files ready for manufacturing

Retrofit Engineering

Making new parts fit old equipment:

Scan existing mounting surfaces or mating parts
Design modern upgrades that bolt right in
Verify clearances before cutting metal
Create adapters and transition pieces

Quality & Inspection

Comparison to CAD models
Assembly verification
Raw casting

The Connecticut Advantage

Bring Us Your Part: No shipping fragile or valuable items. Setup an appointment, drive to Killingworth, watch the scan, leave with files.

Fast Turnaround: Most parts can be scanned same day. Complex reverse engineering in 2-3 days.

Manufacturing Knowledge: We know what happens after scanning. Your files will be ready for 3D printing. Your files can also be reverse engineered to be ready for CNC, 3D printing, or casting, and will be editable parametric CAD.

Complete Solution: Scan today, prototype tomorrow. All under one roof.

Our Process

Evaluate your part - Determine best scanning approach
Capture the data - Multiple angles ensure complete coverage
Process and clean - Remove noise, align scans, optimize mesh
Convert to useful formats - Based on your downstream needs
Optional: Partial to Full reverse engineering - Create parametric CAD from scan data, from just mounts or design features to complete parts and assemblies

Common Projects We Handle

Parts with no drawings or documentation
Vintage/antique restoration pieces
Custom modifications to existing parts
Organic or artistic shapes for replication
Worn tooling or fixtures needing replacement
First article inspection and validation

Scan Data to Real Parts

With our scanning, CAD, and large-format 3D printing all in-house, we're often delivering physical prototypes before others finish processing scan data.

Recent example: Customer brought in a complex cast part at 9 AM. By 2 PM they had scan data. 2 days later a cleaned-up CAD model, and 2 days later 3D printed prototype for fit testing.

Ready to Digitize?

From one-off vintage parts to production quality control, we turn physical into digital, accurately, quickly, and locally.

There are many uncommon terms used in product development. We do our best to use easy to understand terminology but occasionally will use the common acronym, initialism, or term. We have a page of terms to help you make sense of this.
