Complexity
Complexity is counted in features. A feature is any distinct shape we capture and clean up. More features mean more scanning and cleanup.
- Hole or slot
- Boss or post
- Rib or fin
- Mounting tab or clip

Questions.
Mesh or CAD?
To print a copy or check fit, a mesh is usually enough. To change dimensions, machine the part or hand it to an engineer, you need CAD. CAD is quoted separately, based on how complex the part is. Not sure which you need? Say so in your quote request and we'll advise.
How accurate are the scans?
Accurate enough for reference, printing and most repair and replacement work. We don't advertise a blanket accuracy figure. Fit-critical features are measured directly and noted in your delivery.
What file formats do I get?
Scans come as a cleaned STL or OBJ mesh. CAD and reverse engineering jobs come as STEP, or native SolidWorks or Fusion files on request.
What should I send for a quote?
A few photos from different angles, one with a ruler or tape in frame, plus the longest dimension and what the part is for. That's usually enough for a firm price.
What can't you scan?
Clear, mirror-chrome and very dark parts may need a removable scanning spray, and we ask before using it. Blind holes and internal passages can't be captured optically.
Can you copy any part?
You need to own the part or have the right to reproduce it. We decline jobs that copy protected designs without permission.
When do I pay?
After you approve a written quote. The price is flat, not hourly, so the number you approve is the number you pay unless you change the job. Larger CAD jobs may need a deposit.
Can you come to me?
Yes. We scan on site within 40 miles of Camden for a flat travel fee from $25. Farther trips are by request.
What happens to my photos and files?
They're used only to quote and complete your job. We don't publish or share them without your permission.
How long does it take?
Scan-only jobs typically take a few business days once the part arrives. CAD timelines are stated on each quote.
