3D scanning
of parts and machinery
Has a part in your lawnmower, vacuum cleaner or production machine broken? Our 3D scanning service covers scanning the damaged component, building a 3D model and printing a replacement.
From a broken part to a finished replacement
The whole process is handled remotely – you send the component, we do the rest.
Send the component by courier
Pack the original or damaged part and send it to us. We come back with a quote once you send photos – ship it after you accept the offer.
A fixed price, agreed up front
Once we have the photos we propose a single, fixed sum for the whole job – we do not bill by the hour. If the component turns out to be harder than it looked in the photos, we absorb that cost.
Scanning and the 3D model
We scan the component with a Creality CR-Scan Raptor (0.02 mm accuracy) and produce a finished STL or STEP file. Time: 2-5 business days, depending on how complex the geometry is.
A file or a finished part
We deliver the 3D file by email, or print the finished replacement and send it by courier. The original component comes back with your order.
What can we scan for you?
The CR-Scan Raptor handles objects from 5×5×5 mm to 2000×2000×2000 mm, which covers the vast majority of parts found in machines and equipment.
Gears and gearboxes
Lawnmower, industrial vacuum, press, belt feeder – we scan it and print the replacement.
Brackets, clamps, supports
Mounting components for packaging machines, production lines and machine tools.
Covers and housings
Flanges, guards and housings for units, pumps and industrial equipment.
Appliance and tool parts
Vacuum cleaners, mowers, saws, drills – when the manufacturer no longer offers a replacement.
Tooling and moulds
Gauges, dies, templates and production fixtures – for duplication or for archiving.
Vehicle components
Clips, guides, covers and bodywork details not available in standard parts catalogues.
Who benefits most from 3D scanning?
Enquiries come from very different directions – here are the most common situations where scanning and 3D printing solve a real problem.
Manufacturers and maintenance teams
A broken part on a production line can bring a whole plant to a halt. A quick scan and a printed replacement are often the only way to resume work without waiting weeks for the original assembly from the manufacturer.
Workshops and service centres
If you regularly repair machines, mowers or household appliances and keep running into discontinued parts – instead of waiting weeks for an import, you send us the worn component to be scanned.
Designers and engineers
Need a precise starting point for further design work based on an existing part? A scan and a CAD model give you exact geometry without drawing it from scratch.
Private customers
A broken handle, a gear in a vacuum cleaner, a missing component in an older appliance – if the product is no longer sold, we scan the original and print an exact copy.

Recent job: third brake light for a Fiat Ducato
Scanning this light took us 3-4 hours – the geometry was not easy to reproduce. Photos from this job will be added here shortly.
Industrial vacuum cleaner drive – scan + reverse engineering
A worn drive component with no OEM replacement available. The part was scanned, the lower section with its square-shaft mounting was redrawn from scratch in CAD, and the finished replacement was printed within 48 hours.

A worn drive with no replacement
The customer sent us a worn drive component from an industrial vacuum cleaner. The manufacturer offers no replacement and the import time runs to several weeks. Our print is on the left, the original on the right.
3D scan + CAD reconstruction
The upper part of the housing was scanned with the CR-Scan Raptor. The lower section with its square drive shaft mounting was redrawn from scratch in CAD – the original was too worn to read the geometry from.
A finished replacement in 48h
The part was printed in ABS – a material that withstands the temperatures and mechanical loads typical of drive components. It fitted perfectly; the customer confirmed it went in without modification.
3D scanning services – three levels of service
From the 3D file alone through to a finished, printed spare part. The quote is always a single, fixed sum – we do not bill by the hour.
Scan + 3D file
We scan the component and deliver a finished STL, OBJ or STEP file by email. Ideal when you have your own production tools or want to keep a record of the geometry.
STL / STEP / OBJ file from PLN 100 (~€23)Scan + reverse engineering
From the scan we build a parametric CAD model in STEP format – ready for you to change dimensions, reinforce critical areas or adapt it to a different manufacturing technology.
Reverse engineering individual quoteScan + 3D printing (package)
Everything from A to Z: we scan, build the model, select the material (ABS, PETG, Nylon) and print the finished spare part. One job, one point of contact.
A finished spare part individual quoteThe model stays in our archive after scanning – if you need another piece printed later on, you do not have to send the component in again. If you also want to own the STL file, we agree that at the time of ordering.

Frequently asked questions
Is scanning possible if the part is damaged?
Yes – in most cases. If at least 70-80% of the geometry is intact, a scan lets us reconstruct the missing sections. Describe the damage and we will assess whether it is feasible.
Do I need to know what the original part was made of?
No. We select the printing material based on functional requirements: working temperature, mechanical loads and contact with water or chemicals.
Which formats will I receive the 3D file in?
As standard, STL (ready to print) and STEP (parametric, for editing in CAD). OBJ and PLY are available on request.
How quickly will I get a quote?
We send the quote by email within 24 hours of receiving photos of the component. For urgent jobs – say so in your message.
Can I order a larger batch of identical parts?
Yes. Once the 3D model is prepared we print any number of copies – the model stays in our archive, so a repeat order does not require rescanning. For batches above 10 pieces we agree individual pricing.
How much does 3D scanning cost?
Rates start from PLN 100 (~€23) for the service. We do not bill by the hour – once we have seen the photos we propose a single, fixed sum for the whole job. If the component turns out during the work to be more demanding than it looked in the photos, we carry that risk ourselves – the price does not change.
Do you travel to the customer?
We normally work remotely – you send the component by courier. Within a 50-100 km radius of Czerwin (Mazowieckie / Podlaskie provinces) a visit to the customer is also possible, by prior arrangement.
How long does the scanning itself take?
That depends on the size and complexity of the component. Simple, small parts take us a few dozen minutes to scan. More demanding geometries – a car light with fine detail, for example – can take 3-4 hours of scanning alone.
I run the scanning personally
Nothing is passed on to anyone else – every scan and CAD model goes through me from start to finish.
