3D Scanning Services Throughout London

Form Capture’s 3D scanning services transform real-world objects into highly accurate digital models. Using advanced scanning technology, we capture precise measurements, shapes, and surface details to create detailed 3D representations of artworks, prototypes, or finished products.

What is 3D Scanning?

3D scanning is used to create a 3D digital representation of an existing physical object. A 3D scanner projects light onto an object, captures the reflections, and creates a comprehensive visual digital copy. The resulting digital 3D model can be used for visualisation, exporting into videos or games, or for reproducing a physical object using 3D printing.

What is 3D Scanning?

3D scanning is a process that captures the shape, size, and surface details of an object to create a precise digital 3D model. Using advanced laser and structured light technology, Form Capture converts physical items into accurate digital files that can be used for design, inspection, or manufacturing.

What can 3D Scanning be used for?

3D scanning is ideal for a wide range of applications — including reverse engineering, product design, quality control, and digital archiving. At Form Capture, our 3D scans support industries such as manufacturing, engineering, and product development by providing accurate, editable models ready for further processing or CNC machining.

What file formats do you provide after scanning?

Form Capture delivers 3D scan data in multiple standard file formats, including STL, OBJ, STEP, and IGES, depending on your project requirements. We also offer file fixing and cleaning services to ensure your scanned models are optimized for use in CAD software, simulation tools, or 3D printing workflows.

How accurate is 3D Scanning?

Our 3D scanning technology achieves extremely high accuracy — often within microns, depending on the object size and material. Form Capture’s scanners capture fine surface details and complex geometries, ensuring your digital models meet the exact specifications required for precision manufacturing or design.
