3D SCANNING SERVICE
At Chalkpit Design, we capture the physical world with absolute precision. Whether you need to digitise an intricate mechanical component or capture a massive industrial asset, a person, a boat hull, an engine bay, we provide both on-site and off-site 3D scanning tailored to your project requirements.
Micro-Detail Precision: Resolution (point distance) down to 0.05 mm for small, complex parts.
Large-Scale Capability: Multi-meter capture with global accuracy using advanced overlapping point-cloud alignment and multi-scan stitching.
Because we can stitch, align, and bridge multiple scan datasets seamlessly, there is virtually no limit to the size of the part or environment we can digitise.
Incorporate the scan data directly into an existing or new design project with us.
3D scan data to take away, we have you covered.
We can provide the results in their raw format, or we can expertly process, clean, and extract critical reference planes, centerlines, and coordinate axes to feed directly into your CAD/CAM workflows.
Enterprise-Grade 3D Digitisation:
Meet the Einstar Rigil
Designed for engineering, rapid product development, and industrial inspection, our all-in-one wireless 3D capture platform streamlines the bridge between physical hardware and digital CAD workflows. By eliminating external processing hardware and cabling bottlenecks, it delivers rapid, metrology-grade data collection directly on the shop floor, in the field, or at a client facility.
Fully Autonomous, On-Site Data Acquisition
Integrated enterprise computing platform featuring a dedicated multi-core processor, 32GB RAM, and 512GB internal SSD storage.
100% untethered operation enables scanning inside vehicles, elevated installations, and remote industrial environments without workstation umbilical cords or tripping hazards.
Dual-Engine Scanning Architecture (MEMS + VCSEL)
Precision Mode (MEMS Micro-Projection): Delivers fine-detail capture with point distances down to 0.05 mm. Engineered for complex mechanical geometries, tooling, brackets, and reverse engineering.
Broad-Field Mode (Infrared VCSEL): High-speed capture of medium-to-large assemblies (chassis, architectural elements, full machinery) up to 1.5 meters away with rapid surface coverage.
Live Verification via 2K AMOLED Display
The integrated 6.4-inch high-resolution interface displays real-time point-cloud and polygon mesh generation.
Field technicians verify complete geometric coverage and data density immediately, eliminating costly reshoots and return site visits.
True-to-Life Texture & Color Documentation (48MP RGB)
High-resolution optical color sensor captures photorealistic surface appearance, material wear, and texture maps alongside geometric dimensions.
Ideal for digital twinning, failure analysis documentation, heritage preservation, and customer-facing 3D assets.
Environmental Resilience & Challenging Surfaces
Advanced infrared tracking handles direct ambient sunlight, high-contrast shop lighting, and low-light environments without signal degradation.
Directly digitises dark, matte, and challenging surfaces with minimal need for non-destructive contrast sprays.
Secure Enterprise Cloud & CAD Pipeline Integration
High-speed Wi-Fi 6 wireless export to local networks, secure cloud infrastructure, or directly into engineering CAD/CAM software suites.
Supports real-time screen mirroring for collaborative client reviews and technical demonstrations during live audits.
Processing the data
Using EXSCANPRO software, we extract key surfaces, planes, and axes to transform dense point-cloud data into clean, usable geometry. Exportable directly as standard STEP files, this forms the foundation for any reverse engineering workflow—giving designers and engineers full control over future CAD modifications.
3D Scanning in Chichester, West Sussex
At Chalkpit Design in Chichester, West Sussex, we harness advanced Reality 3D scanning technology to capture precise digital models of real-world objects. From small components to large structures, our scanning process creates accurate 3D meshes that can be used for reverse engineering, quality inspection, digital archiving, or integration with 3D printing and CAD workflows. Accurately capture and digitise physical objects up to 3000mm x 3000mm for design, reverse engineering or developing new products. By combining high-resolution scanning with intelligent CAD processing, we enable rapid iteration, detailed analysis, and efficient reproduction, all while reducing material waste and streamlining the design process.
Benefits of 3D Scanning with Chalkpit:
Precision Capture: Create accurate digital representations of objects, textures, and surfaces.
Reverse Engineering: Reproduce or modify existing components with exact measurements.
Rapid Digital Modelling: Convert physical objects into ready-to-use CAD or 3D print files.
Integration with 3D Printing & CAD: Seamlessly bridge real-world objects with digital fabrication workflows.
Efficiency: Reduce prototyping time and minimise trial-and-error iterations.
Sustainable Design: Minimise waste by digitally testing designs before production.
Customisation & Archiving: Preserve unique designs, artefacts, or prototypes for future use.
Local Expertise: Scanning, modelling, and processing done in Chichester, supporting local innovation.
