3D scanning: from real object to 3D model in minutes
Professional 3D scanning and reverse engineering. Mail us your item or drop it off in Šmarje pri Jelšah — get back an accurate 3D model (STL/3MF/STEP), ready to print or edit.
What 3D scanning is
We turn physical objects into digital 3D models with accuracy down to 0.02 mm. From a scan we produce a printable model or convert it back into editable CAD (reverse engineering).
Where 3D scanning helps
Spare parts
Scan a part you can't buy anymore and reprint it.
Reverse engineering
Turn a legacy or discontinued part into editable CAD (STEP).
Restoration and art
Figurines, reliefs, keepsakes — digitized and duplicated.
Prototypes and product dev
Convert a hand-made model into a repeatable digital form.
Custom fit
Housings, mounts, inserts that fit an existing object exactly.
Organic shapes
Complex geometry that's impractical to model from scratch.
How it works
Send photos of the item (or a file) for a quick assessment.
Mail the item or drop it off in Šmarje pri Jelšah.
We scan it on the Creality Sermoon P1 and send you the result to approve.
You receive the 3D files (STL/3MF/STEP) and your item back — or we go straight to print.
What you get
You get: 3D mesh (STL/OBJ/PLY), printable 3MF, optional reverse-engineered STEP CAD. We can continue straight to 3D printing in 11 materials.
Our technology
We scan with the Creality Sermoon P1 — blue laser and infrared light, accuracy to 0.02 mm, capturing items from a few mm to large objects. Unique: from scan to an instant print quote in 30 seconds.
Print note: max print size 256×256×256 mm; larger items are split or delivered as files only.
3D scanning pricing
3D scanning from €10 — clear pricing, no hidden hourly fees on small parts. Basic model cleanup included. For larger or complex parts or CAD conversion, send photos for an exact quote.
Scan and clean printable mesh (STL/3MF). Basic cleanup included.
Scan and watertight printable mesh + 1 round of cleanup.
Scan and reverse engineering to editable STEP CAD. Quoted per part.
At most providers scanning starts at ~€50 + VAT or ~€50/h + VAT (quote on request). Ours is fixed, final, and lower.
We can print the scanned model right away — order a print and we credit part of the scan fee back.
Prices are final.
Frequently asked questions
How much does 3D scanning cost?+
3D scanning starts at €10 for small parts, €20 for medium parts, and from €30 for complex pieces or reverse engineering to editable CAD. Prices are final and basic model cleanup is included.
Is the price per hour or per item?+
Per item, known in advance — not per hour. So you know what you'll pay before you send it in.
What's the difference between 3D scanning and reverse engineering?+
Scanning gives a mesh (STL) to print a copy; reverse engineering rebuilds an editable CAD model (STEP) from the scan, where you can change dimensions.
How accurate is the scan?+
Accuracy down to 0.02 mm, depending on the object and material.
How large an object can you scan?+
From a few mm to large objects; printing up to 256 mm.
Can you scan shiny or black objects?+
Yes, with a matting spray if needed.
How fast is it?+
Usually 3 days after we receive the item.
How do I send my item?+
By post or in person in Šmarje pri Jelšah.
Can you also print it?+
Yes, instant quote at /quote.
