3D scanning |
Top-tier 3D scanning services for your projects, using professional Artec 3D solutions
3D scanning is a technology that allows us to capture the exact shape and surface of real-world objects and bring them into the digital world.
At Velox 3D, we use advanced Artec 3D handheld scanners to provide this service. With them, we can quickly create highly accurate digital 3D models – whether it’s objects, people, or entire environments. These models are widely used across engineering, manufacturing, healthcare, design, art, and many other fields.

Reverse Engineering
3D scanning plays a crucial role in the reverse engineering process. By using professional scanning equipment, we can recreate models with complex geometries, which are then used to create parametric (CAD) files. What would take days to measure by hand can be accomplished in just a few hours with scanners. The high-end Artec 3D scanners we use are not only capable of digitizing intricate shapes, but they also do so with remarkable precision — with a deviation of up to 20 µm between the real and scanned object.
The scanned part can be compared with the original CAD model or another reference sample. This allows us to detect deformations, wear, or manufacturing deviations. Errors are visually represented in a color map. 3D scanning can be used at all stages of production to ensure quality control — from inspecting production molds, after machining processes, to comparing parts from different production batches.
3D scanning is an excellent method for directly reproducing or manufacturing items that are no longer in production or were originally handmade. With this technology, we can create a highly accurate digital model of an object, which can then be scaled up or down, or reproduced exactly as it exists in real life using 3D printing. Whether it's a discontinued car part, a sculpture, or an architectural element, we can precisely replicate it with a help of 3D scanning.
Additive manufacturing
Quality control
One of the most significant applications of 3D scanning is object digitization. The 3D scanners we use capture not only the shape and size of an object but also its texture and colors, allowing us to transfer it into a virtual environment. This method is used for documentation, restoration, scientific research, education, and improving accessibility. Its applications range from preserving and inspecting cultural heritage to enhancing education through virtual art exhibitions or supporting scientific studies.
