AUTOMOTIVE
3D scanning for automotive parts
Automotive parts are one of the most common things we scan. Trim pieces, brackets, covers, housings, adapters — parts that are awkward to measure by hand and often impossible to buy new.
Ship us the part and get back a clean, aligned, to-scale STL or OBJ mesh captured with structured-light 3D scanning. Broken or damaged parts can be scanned as-is, exactly in the condition they arrive.
Your physical part is returned after scanning, so original components stay in your hands.
Common automotive scans

Captured as-is for digital reference
What you receive
- Structured-light 3D scan at up to 0.2 mm resolution
- Cleanly aligned, to-scale mesh output
- STL and/or OBJ files, delivered digitally
- Your original part returned after scanning
BEFORE YOU SHIP
The scan captures visible surface geometry in the part's current condition. Glossy, chromed, or very dark automotive surfaces may need light, paint-safe scan prep, which we only use when required and never charge extra for — you certify prep is okay when you approve your quote. We review every part from photos before you ship it.
