ZEISS 3D Scanning Services

Gain confidence in your parts and assemblies with accurate 3D scan data.

Compare scan data to CAD or nominal models to quickly verify dimensions, alignment, and tolerances. Ideal for evaluating parts before investing in 3D scanning, validating assemblies, or detecting deviations early to reduce rework.

Specific applications regularly require reverse engineering, such as legacy components, cast or molded components, or elements of a building or other non-fabricated components. This service quickly generates detailed CAD-ready files (STL, STEP, IGES, or parametric CAD) from legacy or prototype parts. 

Build high-fidelity digital representations of your physical parts for simulation, assembly verification through virtual assembly or digital assembly, predictive maintenance and more.

Monitor wear, compare different tools, and ensure consistent quality across your production process by tracking critical changes in your parts or tooling over time. With full‑field 3D scan data, you can analyze deviations over successive runs and gain the clarity to proactively schedule rework or tool maintenance rather than simply reacting to defects. This method turns data into actionable insight, helping you reduce scrap, avoid downtime, and maintain stronger process control.

Inspection template creation lets you leverage expert knowledge to build custom 3D inspection programs tailored to your parts. We develop detailed measurement routines and templates that align with your CAD models and quality requirements, so your team can quickly and consistently inspect parts with minimal setup. This service helps reduce errors, save time, and standardize inspection processes, giving you a reliable foundation for accurate, repeatable quality control.

From turbine blades to intricate medical implants, our 3D scanning technologies adapt to challenging sizes and surface finishes.

First Article Acceptance and other aerospace, automotive and renewable energy industries require a Frist Article Inspection for highly critical components. Our team of experts inspects, analyzes and returns reliable results and test reports quickly.

Our experienced technicians set you up for success by offering specialized assistance to tailor our technology to meet your requirements based on your project's scope. This service reduces training times so you can expedite your ROI.

For our customers utilizing our automated 3D scanning solutions, we offer a variety of automation services, including scripting. Our automation experts create scripting to execute measurement routines that optimize repeatability and reduce unnecessary repetitions to increase efficiency. Our scripting services include error-proofing, formatting for the final output of data and automating software tasks. To learn about our full range of automation services, contact us!

Increase efficiency by securely holding a part in a stable, repeatable position. Accelerate setup and quickly scan batches of parts with custom fixtures.

Photogrammetry and 3D scanning are complementary technologies for capturing precise, digital representations of physical objects. This combination allows for the digitization of large objects, like full car bodies or planes, without compromising accuracy.

Standardized procedures based on VDI/VDE guidelines that verify the performance and accuracy of 3D scanning and measurement systems. VDI Acceptance Tests provide confidence that 3D scanner delivers consistent, high-quality results.

Every application is unique and requires a tailored approach. Before beginning, consider three main factors: part size, material characteristics, and precision requirements. Evaluating these ensures you choose the most accurate and efficient ZEISS 3D scanning service for your application.

Part size directly influences the right measurement setup:

• Small components: Handheld or compact parts benefit from high-resolution scans using ZEISS scanning booths for maximum detail accuracy. 
• Large components: Automotive, aerospace, and industrial parts that span multiple meters are best measured using automated 3D measurement cells like the ZEISS ScanBox Series, designed for large-scale precision and repeatability. 

Choosing the right setup ensures both speed and dimensional accuracy across your part’s entire geometry.

Material properties—like color, reflectivity, and transparency—affect how a 3D scanner captures surface data. Intricate or irregular parts are best scanned with stationary ZEISS 3D scanners, while automated ZEISS systems deliver fast, consistent results for high-volume or flat components. A ZEISS metrology expert can help determine the ideal scanning technology for your specific material and part design.

Monitor wear, compare different tools, and ensure consistent quality across your production process by tracking critical changes in your parts or tooling over time. With full‑field 3D scan data, you can analyze deviations over successive runs and gain the clarity to proactively schedule rework or tool maintenance rather than simply reacting to defects. This method turns data into actionable insight, helping you reduce scrap, avoid downtime, and maintain stronger process control.

The right solution depends on your part size, material, production volume, and accuracy requirements. ZEISS offers everything from portable 3D scanners to fully automated systems like the ZEISS ScanBox Series. ZEISS application engineers can recommend the ideal setup for your project.

Yes. ZEISS 3D scanning technologies support both R&D and production-level quality control. In R&D, they help validate designs and refine processes; in production, automated systems deliver repeatable, high-throughput inspection to maintain consistent quality.

ZEISS combines advanced optics, automation, and software intelligence for consistent, traceable measurement results. Solutions like the ZEISS ScanBox Series integrate automation, AI-driven analysis, and precision engineering to deliver reliable performance for any part size or complexity.

To complete your service, our engineering experts will choose from ZEISS’s range of high-tech 3D metrology solutions, including handheld 3D scanners (such as the ZEISS T-SCAN hawk 2), and ATOS 3D scanners in various configurations: stationary 3D scanning, semi-automated 3D scanning, and ScanBox fully automated 3D scanning. Each system is optimally suited to return precision results with high reproducibility for different applications.

Our expert team can help you select the right tool for the job.
