We turn any physical object into an accurate 3D file: from a 5 mm part to a vehicle or a full 4-metre room. Blue laser and NIR structured light scanning, at our workshop in Vecindario or on your premises anywhere on the island.
This is the question worth asking any scanning provider, because the difference in value is enormous.
A mesh is what comes straight out of the scanner: a skin of triangles reproducing the surface, including dents, wear and dirt. It is useful for documentation or rough copying, but it cannot be edited in a controlled way.
A parametric CAD model is something else entirely. Holes are real holes with a diameter you can change. If you need the same part two millimetres longer, you edit one dimension. With a mesh, you cannot.
We can deliver either, or both. If you are likely to need more units in the future, take the CAD model.
The scanner is wireless. When a part belongs to a machine that cannot be dismantled, or is on a boat, or is simply too large to move, we travel to you. We cover Las Palmas, Telde, Maspalomas, Playa del Inglés, Agüimes and the rest of Gran Canaria.
We work with a Creality Raptor X, combining blue laser lines with NIR structured light, and reconstruct geometry in Autodesk Fusion 360. Manufacturing, if you need it, happens in the same workshop: 24 machines in production, plus resin and a dedicated paint department.
The manufacturer no longer makes the part. We scan the original and reproduce it.
From a physical object to an editable CAD model you can modify and manufacture.
Compare the scanned part against the original design to detect deviation and wear.
Trims, mounts and body parts discontinued decades ago.
Fittings and covers for boats whose yard no longer provides support.
Machine parts that cannot be dismantled: we scan them in place.
No. The physical part is enough. We scan it and rebuild the 3D model from its actual geometry. A drawing helps if you have one, but it is not required.
From around 5 millimetres up to objects or spaces of 4 metres, such as a complete vehicle or a room. Our scanner combines blue laser lines and NIR structured light to cover that range.
Yes. The scanner is wireless and portable, so we can travel to your premises, workshop or hotel anywhere in Gran Canaria to scan machines or parts that cannot be moved.
Whatever you need: the scanned mesh, an STL file ready to print, or an editable parametric CAD model. If you also want the part manufactured, we produce it ourselves.
Usually yes. If the part is symmetrical we scan the intact half and mirror it. If you have the fragments, we scan them separately and assemble them digitally. We just need enough of the part left to deduce the rest.
It depends on the size of the part, the complexity of its geometry and whether you need only the mesh or a full CAD model. We give you a fixed quote before starting, and assessing your case costs nothing.
Tell us what you need and we will get back to you with price and lead time, no commitment.
