3D Scanning
Forma 3D provides top-tier 3D scanning services to turn physical objects into accurate digital models. Our advanced scanners capture precise details from parts and components of any shape or size, creating files ready for design, engineering, inspection or direct 3D printing. Whether you need to replicate, measure or modify an object, or simply create a digital version of it, our service delivers reliable results.
We work with manufacturers, engineers, designers, restorers, students, hobbyists and artists. From small items that require fine accuracy to larger components prepared for production, Forma 3D ensures exceptional outcomes tailored to your needs.

Our 3D Scanners
We currently use the Arctec Leo & Shining 3D Transcan Scanners. More info below.
Artec Leo w/ Artec Studio
The Artec Leo is one of the most versatile 3D scanners, combining speed and accuracy to allow for a fast scan job without sacrificing accuracy. Being completely wireless the Artec Leo allows for onsite measures without requiring long setup.
With a 160,000 cm-cubed capture zone, Leo is truly versatile when it comes to size. It excels at capturing both medium-sized (20-50 cm) and large (50-200 cm) objects and surfaces. It can take on even very large objects (200 cm+) or even entire spaces, such as a room.
