Why work with us?
Surface Scan offers detailed and cost-effective 3D scanning solutions in Reading
On-site 3D scanning
Surface Scan offers on-site 3D scans. If your model is too heavy or fragile to post, we can travel to you or you can send small models to us via a courier.
Accurate 3D scans
Our technology can create high resolution accurate 3D scans. Capture the parts physical size and shape, no matter how complex the item.
3D scanning to CAD
Use our 3D scan to CAD service for reverse engineering and convert your data into, editable, design ready professional CAD files.

What can we 3D scan?
3D scanning can be used on almost any surface. It could be a vehicle, a building, jewellery or even a prosthetic. It can be a very large item or a small complex object. We have a range of 3d scanners and hardware to meet your needs. Here’s a guide to just some of the models we can 3D scan.
Large parts
We can scan large objects with our mobile 3D scanners, either on-site or in-house. It could be a vehicle or part of a building. Our 3D scanning technology offers precise, full colour data.
Cars
Statues
Boats
Furniture
Small objects
Small objects & objects such as jewellery or cogs can be captured using our desktop or handled 3D scanners. We can capture precise detail & shapes, either on-site or at your location.
Components
Cogs
Coins
Miniatures
Textured items
We can capture the most delicate details, including texture & colour. This is suited to industries such as VR, historical artefacts & museums. Surfaces such as glass can also be scanned.

3D scanning an Object...
Before we scan any model, we find out the clients’ needs. What level of detail do you require? What are you trying to achieve?
We then assess what scanning equipment is best suited to the models size and shape. Does it need target markers or non-reflective spray?
What if the model has very little geometry or texture? If there are no features for scanner to recognise, we’ll use target markers. These help the scanner keep track of its positioning and aid with accuracy.
Not sure if 3D scanning is what you need? Send us some photos, and we’ll take a look. There isn’t much we can’t scan.
3D scanning with markers
If your model has very little geometry or texture, we can still 3D scan it.
If there are no features for the scanner to recognise, we’ll use target markers. These help the scanner keep track of its positioning and aid with accuracy.
3D Scanning Spray
What happens if the model is shiny or black?
We can still 3D scan it. We use a specialist non-reflective spray. It does not leave any coating or residue on the item. You can see it working in the video below;
