3D scanning services

3D scanning for components and industrial environments.

Gendraw selects the scanner and workflow according to the size, surface, environment, required accuracy and intended deliverable.

The right equipment for the required context.

METROLOGY-GRADE

Detailed component scanning

High-detail capture for suitable small-to-medium workpieces, supporting reverse engineering, product development and inspection-support workflows.

The achievable accuracy and capture method are assessed against the component, surface and required deliverable.

LARGE-SCALE

Industrial environment scanning

Spatial capture for factories, plants, warehouses, equipment layouts and structures where wider site context is required.

Survey planning, coverage and the appropriate level of accuracy are agreed for each environment.

DELIVERABLES

Data prepared for purpose

Processing can support point-cloud, mesh, CAD, comparison or facility workflows, with the precise outputs and limitations agreed for each project.

Metrology-grade capture

Detailed scanning for engineering components.

Marker-assisted blue-light scanning captures complex geometry for suitable reverse-engineering, product-development and inspection-support workflows.

Prepare a budget from your STEP model(s).

Upload one or more STEP files to calculate their overall sizes and approximate surface areas securely in your browser. The CAD files are not uploaded to Gendraw during this analysis.

Upload STEP file(s).

Supported formats: .step and .stp. Maximum size per file: 20 MB. You can upload more files in separate selections without losing those already listed.

Uploading a sub-assembly? Please simplify it in your CAD software first by suppressing unnecessary components, internal details and other geometry that does not need to be scanned.

    Privacy: analysis happens on this device. The selected STEP files are not transferred to the website server.

    On-site capture

    Review scan coverage while work is in progress.

    Field visualisation helps confirm scan positions and coverage across complex industrial environments before the captured data is processed into the agreed project deliverables.

    Instant budget estimate

    Plan a budget for large-scale factory scanning.

    Enter the approximate overall dimensions and project details to receive an immediate, non-binding budget cost.

    Factory location

    Pan and zoom the map, then click the factory location. The driving distance from Standish, Wigan will be calculated automatically.

    No factory location selected.

    Applications

    From individual parts to complete production areas.

    Reverse engineering

    Capture physical geometry as a reliable starting point for CAD development.

    Inspection support

    Prepare scan data for comparison and dimensional review using an agreed project method.

    Factory capture

    Document production environments for layout, retrofit, planning and coordination work.

    Scan-to-CAD

    Turn processed scan data into usable models suited to the required downstream task.

    Manufacturing preparation

    Repair or prepare suitable mesh and model data for prototyping or manufacturing workflows.

    Existing conditions

    Capture complex spaces where manual measurement alone would be inefficient or incomplete.
