3D scanning has become a vital tool for industries like manufacturing, product design, archaeology, and even healthcare. It captures real-world objects and transforms them into accurate, editable 3D models. But not all 3D scanning services are the same. Choosing the right one can save time, reduce costs, and ensure accuracy where it matters most.

At Precision 3D Prints, our 3D scanning service in Guildford, Surrey helps individuals and businesses across the UK digitise physical objects with industry-grade accuracy.

Why Use a Professional 3D Scanning Service?

  • ✔️ Accurate measurements within sub-millimetre precision
  • ✔️ Scan complex geometry that would be hard to model manually
  • ✔️ Quickly reverse-engineer parts or verify production tolerances

When Do You Need 3D Scanning?

Here are the most common use cases:

  • 🔧 Creating CAD from legacy parts or prototypes
  • 🦷 Custom medical/dental devices
  • 🏺 Capturing sculptures, artifacts, or artwork
  • 🚗 Automotive restoration and modification

Types of 3D Scanners We Use

We offer both handheld and desktop 3D scanning depending on your object’s size, material, and complexity:

  • Handheld scanners – ideal for scanning medium to large objects and capturing undercuts
  • Laser scanners – high precision, ideal for engineering-grade part replication

What Makes a Good 3D Scan?

The quality of your 3D scan depends on resolution, accuracy, and post-processing. Our team provides watertight mesh files, optional CAD conversion, and 3D design assistance for any further modification or prototyping.

How to Get Started

Just send us an image and dimensions of your part via the contact page. We’ll advise on feasibility, scanning methods, and pricing. On-site scanning may be available for large or sensitive items.

Ready to Digitise Your Object?
