FAQ
What areas do you serve?
Located in the North Minneapolis Metro, but can travel to your location to provide scanning services or collect scan data for your project.
What 3D scanning equipment do you have?
Creaform Metrascan (Laser, no targets required)
Creaform GoScan (Structured Light, stick-on targets required)
How large of an object can I have scanned?
The Creaform Metrascan has a recommended part size range of 0.2m to 6.0m, making it extremely versitile for most applications. Ideal for scanning full vehicles, tractors, farm implements, industrial equipment, small aircraft, etc.. with no loss of volumetric accuracy typically found with non-tracked scanners.
What software do you use?
For most CAD design, I use PTC Creo. I am also proficient in other software systems if you need a fully-featured model in your preferred CAD software (if customer supplies a license seat).
For reverse-engineering, I use a combination of Geomagic DesignX and Creaform's software suite (VXelements, VXmodel).
