3D Digital Scans
We can generate incredibly accurate 3D surface scans with exceptional detail. Big or small. (Text height shown is 1/4")
-
Powerful Analysis
Virtual section cuts on real parts are just some of the analysis possibilities with 3D scanning.
-
Odd parts?
Some parts just can't be described with straight lines and circles. 3D scanning makes it easy to work with any part digitally, no matter how odd.
-
Fully Parametric CAD Models
We can generate 3D CAD models from any scan. Accurate surfaces that you can import into your CAD package.
-
Ergononomic Shapes
We can accurately reproduce ergonomic shapes from any source, and integrate into your CAD model.
-
Medical Components
3D scanning is the easiest way to reproduce complex organic shapes for medical, ergonomic, and highly stylized components. We can safely scan living tissue with our non-contact scanner.
-
Error Mapping
Some shapes are impossible to measure with conventional tools. Quickly compare real parts to the digital CAD data to identify out of tolerance areas.
-
Sculpture Scans
Preserve historic sculptures in 3D. Scale carvings to any size you want, and reproduce in any material you can imagine.
-
Legacy Parts
we can quickly create new CAD solids from hand-formed fiberglass molds, clay models, foam, wood or whatever material you use.
-
Digital Sculpture
Our 3D scanning process can add full color photographic surface detail to any 3D mesh. Perfect for 3D animators and artists. (Real 3D! Take a look with 3D glasses)
-
Small Parts
Our unique scanning process captures incredibly small details.
-
Big or Small
3D scans make it easy to scale anything up or down to any size. Create full size parts from small scale models, or directly print 3D prototypes models from real parts.
Welcome to Global Inspection Solutions
Global Inspection Solutions offers 3D scanning and inspection services to help you work with your parts in the digital world. We use a custom built, automated white-light scanner to quickly capture your components in 3D with exceptional detail. The process is completely non-contact, and safe for soft and delicate items. Our unique process also allows us to capture photographic surface texture during the scan and apply it to the 3D surface, for photorealistic 3D models that can be used in digital 3D art and animation.
Basic Services
We are always applying the latest cutting edge 3D technology, to capture and use 3D information in new ways. Contact us with your unique application and see how we can help.
Automated Part Scanning
Our automated scanning machine can quickly capture any part up to 24"x24"x10" with error less than 0.020mm (0.0007in). Typical scan resolution is 0.25mm (.010") between points but we have successfully captured as small as .020mm (.0007") between points.
Onsite Scanning
We also offer onsite scanning services to perform scans at your location. We can accomodate anything up to 2m (80") in a single scan, and we can stitch together multiple scans for larger items. Typical scan resolution at this scale is 1mm (.040 in) between points, although we can make adjustments to fit your needs.
