Services
3D Laser Scanning
Our 3D laser scanning service captures precise geometric data using Nikon Metrology equipment with accuracies down to 1.8 microns. This non-contact method digitises complex surfaces at speeds up to 10 times faster than traditional tactile probing. The technology enables comprehensive quality inspection and digital twin creation for engineering applications across multiple industries.
Reverse Engineering
We specialise in converting physical objects into accurate digital models for design improvement and component replication. Using advanced scanning technology, we create detailed CAD representations that facilitate product development and manufacturing process optimisation. This service supports innovation through precise geometric analysis of existing parts.
Dimensional Analysis
Our dimensional analysis service provides comprehensive measurement validation against design specifications. Utilising automated laser scanning and Nikon Focus software, we deliver GD&T analysis reports with high accuracy. This ensures compliance with quality standards while identifying manufacturing deviations for process improvement.
Prototyping
We offer prototyping solutions combining 3D scanning with additive manufacturing. This enables rapid conversion of physical concepts into digital models for iterative testing. Our process accelerates product development cycles through virtual assembly validation and design optimisation using captured scan data.
CMM Scanning
Our coordinate measuring machine scanning delivers ultimate accuracy using Nikon's XC65Dx-LS and LC15Dx systems. This solution provides repeatable measurements for critical components, supporting quality control processes in aerospace, automotive, and precision engineering sectors through detailed feature analysis.

We've been working with the team at Laser Scanning over several projects for around 8 months. From the beginning they went of their way to ensure we understood the key elements of the project right through to completion at tooling stage. Cant recommend this company enough
