Las Vegas projects
What do Las Vegas businesses get 3D scanned?
In Las Vegas, “3D scanning” often means scanning a building. We do the other kind: objects and parts. These are the jobs it suits.
Décor, fixtures, and sculptural pieces.
Copy a damaged ornament, sculpture, or decorative fixture so it can be remade to match the rest of the room.
Equipment and vehicle parts no one makes.
Scan the original, rebuild it as STEP for a tight fit, and print or machine a new one.
3D scanning, explained
What are 3D scanning services?
A 3D scanner measures the visible surface of a real object and turns it into a digital mesh. That file can be archived, rendered, used as a reference for new CAD, or prepared for 3D printing.
We scan objects, sculptures, products, and parts. You tell us what the file is for, and we quote the scan and anything that comes after it.
Selected work
01 / THE WORK3D scanning projects from our studio.
Furniture · artist Alex Roskin
From a 6-inch foam model to a full-size chair.
The artist hand-cut a small foam model. We scanned it, cleaned and refined the model with the artist, then scaled it up and produced the full-size chair with a metal finish and rosewood legs.
Small parts and fasteners
Small parts work too. Threads and fine edges are checked before quoting.
Carbon fiber car part
A carbon fiber panel beside its scan. Parts like this often arrive with no CAD at all.
Scaled up from a small original
An artist’s designer toy, printed large from its 3D model next to the small original.
Textured surfaces
A toy dinosaur and its scan. Scales and skin texture carry into the mesh.
Boxing gloves
The glove surface captured as reference geometry for a sculpted reproduction.
Footwear
Shoes captured as meshes for further digital work.
Objects & fit
02 / THE OBJECTWhat objects can be 3D scanned?
Parts that broke or are no longer made.
Classic-car trim, clips, bezels, appliance and equipment parts. We scan the original so it can be remade or changed.
Sculptures and handmade objects.
Clay, wood, resin, and mixed-media pieces, to archive, enlarge, cast, or copy.
Products to design around.
Scan a product to design a case, mount, or foam insert that fits it, or to make renders.
Limits: We don’t scan very small objects, rings, or gemstones, and we don’t scan weapons or weapon parts. Clear, mirror-like, very dark, fuzzy, flexible, or moving subjects are hard to scan, and hidden or internal geometry can’t be captured. We don’t offer certified dimensional inspection or metrology.
STL or STEP?
Scan to CAD in Las Vegas: does a 3D scan create an editable file?
Not on its own. A scanner records the surface as a polygon mesh, an STL or OBJ. That’s right for renders, archiving, sculpting, and most printed copies.
If you need to change dimensions, add features, or manufacture the part, we rebuild it as editable CAD using the scan as a reference. For simple parts that adds about $150–$300. Tell us the features and fits that matter before we quote.

03 / THE FILEWhat files does a 3D scanning service deliver?
Scan mesh
The visible surface as an STL or OBJ, aligned and lightly cleaned. Enough for archiving, renders, or your own 3D work.
Repaired mesh
Holes closed, noise smoothed, and symmetry fixed where agreed. Good for sculpting, presentation, or checking a print.
Editable CAD
A clean model rebuilt from the scan, for changes and manufacturing. Tell us the features and fits that matter.

3D scanning and printing
Can you 3D scan an object and 3D print a copy?
Yes. Scanning and printing in one studio means one quote, one handoff, and one team responsible for the result.
Scan the object
We capture the visible surface as an STL or OBJ mesh. Scanning starts at $250. Tell us the final size you want if it’s not the same as the original.
Prepare the mesh for printing
Holes are closed, thin walls thickened, and the model scaled or split for the printer. Heavier changes are quoted as 3D modeling, from $250.
Print and finish the copy
One copy or a run. We print in resin or another fitting material, then sand, paint, or plate if you want. 3D printing runs from about $30 to thousands of dollars, depending on size and finish.
Is it a fit?
Do you offer 3D laser scanning in Las Vegas?
For objects and parts, yes: “3D laser scanning” is what many people call the scan we do, and the result is the same STL or OBJ mesh. For buildings and sites, no. Here’s the line.
We’re a good fit for
- Parts, products, props, and sculptures
- Scan to CAD: STEP files rebuilt from a scanned part
- A scan plus a 3D printed copy, same size or scaled up
- Replacement parts for equipment or vehicles that are out of production
Another service may suit you better for
- Buildings, floor plans, and as-built drawings
- Point clouds, LiDAR, and scan to BIM or Revit
- Renting a 3D scanner to do it yourself
- Certified dimensional inspection or metrology reports
Getting started
How does 3D scanning work for a Las Vegas project?
Send photos and details first, and wait for our reply before sending anything. The quote confirms how the object reaches us and comes back, what you get, and the date. We scan it, clean the mesh, and deliver the files, the STEP rebuild, or the printed copy.
All 3D scanning servicesBefore we start
What do Las Vegas clients ask about 3D scanning?
How much does 3D scanning cost in Las Vegas?
3D scanning starts at $250 per project. Mesh cleanup is about $150, and STEP / editable CAD rebuilt from the scan adds about $150–$300 for simple parts. A 3D printed copy starts at about $30.
Do you offer 3D laser scanning in Las Vegas?
For objects and parts, yes: “3D laser scanning” is what many people call the scan we do, and you get the same STL or OBJ mesh. For buildings, floor plans, point clouds, or scan to BIM and Revit, you need an architectural laser scanning firm instead. We don’t do that work.
Can you scan a part and give me a CAD file (scan to CAD)?
Yes. A scan gives a mesh; we rebuild it as editable STEP from the scan. For simple parts that’s about $150–$300 on top of the scan. Tell us the holes, threads, and edges that must fit.
Can you scan a product for a trade show or event display?
Yes. We can scan the product and 3D print a copy at the same size or scaled up for a booth or display. Start early: scanning is 1–2 weeks after the object arrives, before printing and finishing.
Can you copy a damaged décor piece so it matches the rest?
Yes, if you have an undamaged one to scan. We scan it, repair the mesh, and 3D print the copy, then sand, paint, or plate it to match. Send photos of both pieces.
Do you rent 3D scanners?
No. We scan the object for you and deliver the files. If you’d rather scan it yourself, look for a scanner rental service.
How long does 3D scanning take for a Las Vegas project?
Scanning takes 1–2 weeks after the object arrives. CAD or a printed copy add their own time. Rush requests are looked at case by case.
What should I send for a 3D scanning quote in Las Vegas?
Photos from a few angles with a ruler or coin for scale, the longest size, what you need (STL, STEP, or a printed copy), features that must fit, and your show or install date if there is one.
Can you 3D scan an object and 3D print a copy?
Yes. We scan the object, prepare the mesh for printing, and print and finish the copy, at the same size or scaled. A raw scan is not automatically print-ready: it may need hole repair, thicker walls, or splitting into parts, and that preparation is quoted with the print. Scanning starts at $250.
Can you scan a broken or discontinued part and make a new one?
Yes. We scan the original, rebuild it as CAD where it has to fit, and 3D print or produce the new part. Send photos with a ruler and mark the features that must fit, like threads or mounting holes.
Do I need an STL or a STEP file?
STL is a mesh: right for 3D printing, archiving, and renders. STEP is editable CAD: right if you need to change the part or machine it. A scan produces a mesh, so a STEP file is rebuilt from it and costs more.
Does a 3D scan give me an editable CAD file?
Not on its own. A scanner produces a polygon mesh (STL or OBJ). An editable CAD model is rebuilt by hand using the scan as reference, which we quote as 3D modeling.
What file formats do you deliver?
STL and OBJ meshes are standard. The quote lists the format, scale, resolution, and how much cleanup is included.
How accurate is a 3D scan?
It depends on the object’s size, surface, and shape, and on what the file is for. If a part has to fit, tell us which features matter; parts that must fit are usually rebuilt as STEP. We don’t offer certified dimensional inspection or metrology.
What can’t you 3D scan?
We don’t scan very small objects, rings, or gemstones, and we don’t scan weapons or weapon parts. Clear, mirror-like, very dark, fuzzy, flexible, or moving subjects are hard to scan, and hidden or internal geometry can’t be captured. We don’t offer certified dimensional inspection or metrology.
