3D Scanning Services
Welcome to Prozix’s 3D scanning page — where we help you capture real-world objects in digital form. Whether you want to 3D print a part, visualize it online, or reverse engineer it, we’re here to help you choose the right path without confusion.
What You Get From a 3D Scan
When we scan your part, the result is a mesh file — typically in STL or OBJ format. It contains the shape, but not the internal logic or features of CAD models.
Mesh File (Scan Only)
- Triangle-based geometry
- Can’t be edited easily
- Best for 3D printing or reference
Reverse Engineered CAD
- Clean, editable model
- Dimensionally accurate
- Requires manual reconstruction
Which One Do You Need?
| Use Case | You Need | File Type | Cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| Print a replacement part | Scan Only | STL / OBJ | $ |
| Edit and add features in CAD | Reverse Engineering | STEP / SLDPRT | $$$ |
| Use in manufacturing | Reverse Engineering | CAD + Drawing | $$$$ |
Real-World Examples
🔧 Broken Cap
Just needs to be reprinted? A mesh scan is perfect.
📐 Custom Bracket
Want to add holes or change features? Choose reverse engineering.
🎨 VR Statue
No edits needed — scan and visualize it as-is.
How It Works
- Take a photo of your part
- Upload it to us (or visit our shop)
- We’ll recommend scan or CAD based on your goal
- You drop off or ship the part
- We scan and send your file(s)
Common Questions
Will I get an editable model?
Not unless you request reverse engineering. Scans are shape only.
What’s the scan accuracy?
Up to 0.1 mm with calibrated equipment. Most parts fall under ±0.3 mm.
Can you scan shiny parts?
Yes — we apply a temporary, washable matte spray if needed.
How long does it take?
Scan only: 1–2 business days. Reverse engineering: 3–7 days depending on complexity.
