Digitize Your Parts with Precision
Bring your ideas to life with our professional 3D scanning service. Our advanced 3D scanning services use professional scanning equipment, portable 3D light scanners, and high-resolution scanners to capture precise 3D data from industrial equipment, furniture, aerospace components, and custom product design projects.
Send or drop off your parts, and we’ll capture every detail with high-precision 3D scanning technology. You’ll receive a ready-to-use digital model in a 3D mesh format, perfect for prototyping, reverse engineering, or production. Need a specific file format? We can provide that too, making it easy to integrate your digital data directly into your workflow.

How 3D scanning is performed at Sculpteo?
Our 3D Scanning Process in 4 Simple Steps
Tell us about your project
Start by getting in touch with us and describing your needs. Whether it’s reverse engineering, archiving, or product development, we’ll assess your project and recommend the best scanning approach.
Send or drop off your parts
Once everything is defined, you can either ship your part to us or drop it off directly. We’ll confirm reception and ensure it’s handled with care.
High precision 3D Scanning
We scan your part using professional-grade equipment to capture accurate geometry and fine details, producing a high-quality digital representation.
Return & Delivery
After scanning, we send your part back safely and deliver the 3D file in your preferred format, ready for use in your workflow.
Applications
Retro-engineering
Retro-engineering using 3D scanning enables the precise capture of existing parts to recreate accurate digital models when original CAD files are missing or outdated. By scanning a physical component, we generate a high-resolution 3D mesh that can be converted into editable CAD geometry. This process allows manufacturers and engineers to analyze, reproduce, or improve legacy parts, ensure compatibility with new designs, and accelerate product development. Whether for maintenance, redesign, or documentation, 3D scan–based reverse engineering provides a fast and reliable bridge between physical objects and digital design.
3D printing : Single unit or short runs
3D printing for single units or short production runs offers a fast and flexible manufacturing solution when traditional tooling would be too costly or time-consuming. By producing parts directly from digital models, additive manufacturing enables the fabrication of one-off components, prototypes, or small series with high precision and minimal setup. This approach is ideal for functional testing, custom parts, spare components, or low-volume production, allowing businesses to iterate quickly, reduce lead times, and bring products to market more efficiently.
Moulding
Moulding from digitized parts allows the accurate reproduction of existing objects by first capturing their geometry in a digital format. Using 3D scanning, we create a precise digital model of the master part, which can then be used to design and manufacture high-precision moulds. This process ensures faithful replication of complex shapes and fine details, making it ideal for reproducing legacy parts, artistic pieces, or components without existing CAD data. The combination of digital acquisition and mould fabrication provides a reliable workflow to reproduce masters efficiently and consistently.
Precise jigs and fixtures
Precision jigs and fixtures can be designed with exceptional accuracy using 3D scanning. By capturing the exact geometry of a product through digital acquisition, we create highly precise reference models that allow the development of custom positioning, holding, or inspection fixtures. These scan-based jigs ensure perfect alignment with the real part, improving assembly accuracy, quality control, and repeatability in production processes. This approach enables faster tooling development while guaranteeing a perfect fit with existing components.
Replacement parts
Replacement parts on demand enable the repair of broken or obsolete components without the need for original manufacturing files. Using 3D scanning, we can digitize an existing spare part—or reconstruct the geometry from the symmetry of the damaged object—to create an accurate digital model. This model can then be 3D printed to produce a functional replacement part on demand. This approach helps extend the lifespan of products, reduce waste, and combat obsolescence while saving time, materials, and resources.
Price
Our 3D scanning service is priced to match your project’s size and detail. Larger parts and high-resolution scans naturally require more time, so prices reflect the effort needed for precision. Shipping your part back should be accounted for as an extra cost, and every scan comes professionally cleaned and ready to use. Want a CAD-ready file instead of a standard mesh? That’s available for a small additional fee. Explore our pricing below to find the option that fits your needs.

You have a question? The answer might be here.
Can I bring my parts directly to your office, or do they need to be shipped?
Of course, you can drop us the part at our facility around Paris. Our adress is : 10, rue auguste perret, 94800 France.
How long does it take to scan a part and deliver the 3D model?
The time required depends on the size and complexity of your part as well as the resolution you choose. Small or simple parts in standard resolution can typically be scanned and delivered within 2-5 business days. Larger parts or high-definition scans may take longer. Don’t hesitate to reach out to us, so that we can evaluate the exact time needed to perform the 3D scan
What is the maximum size of the part you can scan?
The maximum size is 1 x 1 x 1 m.
Are there any types of materials that are difficult to scan?
Yes, some materials can be more challenging to scan accurately. Highly reflective, transparent, or very dark surfaces may require special preparation, such as a temporary coating, to capture all details. Most common materials like plastics, metals, ceramics, and composites can be scanned without issue. Our team will assess your part and recommend the best approach to ensure an accurate 3D model.
In what file formats will I receive my 3D model?
By default, you will receive your 3D scan as a high-quality mesh file, typically in OBJ or STL format, ready to use for visualization, 3D printing, or reverse engineering. If you need your model in a different format, we can provide additional file types on request, including CAD-ready formats, for an extra fee.
Can you provide CAD-ready files instead of meshes?
Yes, we can provide CAD-ready files instead of standard mesh formats. Converting a scanned mesh into a fully editable CAD model requires additional work, so this service is available for an extra fee. Our team ensures the CAD file accurately represents your part and is ready for design, engineering, or manufacturing workflows.
Can you clean or edit the scan data before delivery?
Yes! Every 3D scan we deliver is professionally cleaned and processed. This includes removing noise, filling holes, and optimizing the mesh so it’s ready to use immediately for visualization, 3D printing, or reverse engineering. Additional editing or modifications can also be done on request to meet specific project requirements.
Is it possible to scan multiple parts at once?
Yes, it is possible to scan multiple parts at the same time, provided they fit within our scanner’s working area and can be clearly distinguished. Scanning multiple objects together can save time, but for complex or detailed parts, we may recommend scanning them individually to ensure the highest accuracy and resolution.
Can you scan parts with fine textures or complex surfaces?
Absolutely! Our high-precision 3D scanners can capture fine textures and complex surfaces with excellent accuracy. However, there are some limitations: hollow parts or components with internal geometries that aren’t visible from the outside cannot be fully captured in a single scan. For such parts, additional techniques or specialized scanning may be required to access hidden areas.
