3D object scanning allows enhancing the design process, speeds up and reduces data collection errors, saves time and money, and thus makes it an attractive alternative to traditional data collection techniques. 3D scanning is also used for mobile mapping, surveying, scanning of buildings and building interiors, and in archaeology.
Industries
Civil engineering, surveying, architectural, crime scene investigation, crash investigation, record keeping, oil and gas, automotive, aerospace, heavy equipment, medical, dental, prosthetics, human scanning, electronics, tool and die, master mould design and consumer product manufacturing.

3D Scanning Process
1. Physical scan of object or area which generates an STL file. (3D Scan Data)
2. STL file conversion; using specialist software BMS Design Ltd transform 3D Scan Data into virtually any form of CAD file for virtually any industry.
3. CAD file manipulation; model can be cleaned up to make clean parametric surfaces for ease of manufacture and other forms of downstream engineering.
We produce highly accurate polygon and native CAD models for reverse engineering, product design, rapid prototyping and analysis.
BMS Design Ltd transforms 3D scan and probe data into the highest quality, most usable 3D polygonal, surface and CAD data, with parametric integration for popular MCAD products (CATIA, Autodesk Inventor, Creo Elements/Pro (Pro/ENGINEER), SolidWorks, (3D Max, NURBS, STEP, IGS, XT), using intelligent, highly automated and easy-to-use tools for rapid, accurate 3D creation and imaging

Portable non-contact measurement systems accurately capture 3D data. The system rotates 360° and measures everything within its line of sight up to 120m away. With a scan rate of 976,000 points per seconds and an accuracy of up to ±0.001mm it can be used in a wide range of industries.
Large scale surveying.
Once datum points have been placed the scanner can be moved for continual scanning of large sites. Otherwise light aircraft, balloons, cranes and model helicopters are used.
Delivering precise engineering data for use in design and manufacturing.
Transforming 3D scan data into highly accurate polygon and native CAD models for reverse engineering, product design, rapid prototyping and analysis.
