  • Limit costly site visits by up to 90% with 3D laser scanning services. This saves you time and money and allows for more efficient planning and decision-making.
  • Optimize your manufacturing floor layout with our services. By simulating movement and space requirements for manufacturing processes, you can streamline operations and maximize efficiency.
  • Increase throughput with our help. Our team can identify bottlenecks and optimize your processes to increase productivity and profitability.
  • Retrofit new machinery with confidence using our reverse engineering, 3D laser scanning, and drawing services. We ensure accurate alignment of bolt hole patterns to minimize downtime and maximize performance.
  • Optimize your product designs for new releases with our reverse engineering and drawing services. We can scale designs up or down and provide recommendations for improved functionality and cost-effectiveness.
  • Create .step files of existing molds, products, and one-of-a-kind items with our reverse engineering services. This allows for easy reproduction and modification of parts, saving you time and money.
  • Recover your product models and drawings from other manufacturers by creating .step files with our reverse engineering and drawing services. Don’t let lost or inaccessible data hold you back from innovation and growth.
  • Study and optimize designs of existing competitor products with our reverse engineering services. Gain a competitive edge by improving upon what’s already out there.
  • Improve coordination between stakeholders, project managers, subcontractors, and field crews with 3D laser scanning. Our accurate and detailed scans make communication and decision-making more efficient.
  • Quickly create in-kind pipe isometric drawings with our turn-key services, including 3D laser scanning and drawing creation. Reduce turnaround times and keep projects on schedule.
  • Design structural platforms and steel components for maintenance with 3D laser scanning and drawing creation. Our precise measurements and drawings ensure accurate fabrication and installation.
  • Create as-built drawings of existing facilities with 3D laser scanning and drawing creation. This provides an accurate and comprehensive record of your facility for future planning and development.
  • Use 3D laser scanning in refineries and manufacturing plants for general arrangement layout plan views. Locate and measure all features of your facility, utilities, and manufacturing equipment with our comprehensive scanning services.
