3D Scanning Services
Precision 3D scanning services are our specialty at Kova Engineering (Saskatchewan) Ltd. We turn real-world objects into detailed digital models with amazing accuracy. Our advanced scanners and software capture every curve and corner and allow us to create a digital 3D replica. Whether you need to reverse engineer a part, inspect complex shapes, reference existing structure for an addition or revision, we’ve got you covered. We use the scan data internally to develop accurate designs with minimal rework, ensuring efficient and effective solutions for our clients.
Our Advanced 3D Scanning Solutions
Our advanced 3D scanning services use Leica Scan Station P40 – High-Definition 3D Laser Scanning Solution. Our 3D scanner can collect high-quality 3D data that is accurate and detailed, enabling custom fit engineering designs to each individual project. It also has the capability to collect dimensional information with precision in less-than-ideal environmental conditions, without sacrificing clarity or efficiency during our information gathering process. They create accurate 3D models for reverse engineering, quality control, or manufacturing. We quickly convert scan data into CAD files for your design projects.
Tolerance Verification
Tolerance verification using 3D scanning technology ensures your parts meet exact specifications. Our scanners capture detailed measurements with a precision of approximately ±2mm, making them ideal for large-scale projects like crane runway inspections and storage tank assessments. This level of accuracy is crucial for identifying structural deviations that could impact safety or performance. We compare scan data to CAD models, quickly spotting any issues. Our team uses cutting-edge software to analyze complex geometries and provide detailed reports. This process is much faster and more reliable than traditional measurement methods. With our service, you’ll catch potential problems early, saving time and money in the long run.
Recording As-Built Condition
Recording as-built conditions with 3D laser scanning transforms project documentation. Our portable scanners capture entire buildings or industrial sites in detail, creating precise 3D models. This technology is a game-changer for construction, heritage preservation, and facility management. We can scan hard-to-reach areas safely, without disrupting operations. The resulting point cloud data forms an accurate digital twin of your site. This virtual model helps with renovations, retrofits, and maintenance planning. It’s also invaluable for clash detection in new installations. Our quick work gives you detailed, actionable data fast. It speeds up your projects and decisions.
Customized Design
Customized design services powered by 3D scanning open up endless possibilities. We start by scanning physical objects to create detailed 3D models. Our team then uses advanced CAD software. We modify the models or design new parts that fit perfectly with existing structures and equipment. This process is ideal for reverse engineering, prototyping, and creating custom parts of structures. Our service is particularly valuable in industrial design, where unique solutions are often needed. From concept to final product, we help bring your ideas to life with precision and efficiency.
Dimensional Verification
Dimensional verification through 3D scanning offers unparalleled accuracy for quality control. Our advanced scanners capture precise 3-dimensional details of your parts or structures for thorough inspection. We measure complex shapes that traditional tools can’t, ensuring all dimensions match your requirements. Our team uses special software to compare scan data with CAD models, creating reports. This ensures compliance with design requirements and equipment specifications.
Asset Integrity Assessment/Recommendations
Asset integrity assessment with 3D scanning offers a full view of your equipment’s state. Our scanners capture detailed data from large assets, creating accurate digital models. This method, which doesn’t harm the equipment, is perfect for spotting wear, deformation, or damage in hard-to-reach areas. We review the data to catch potential issues early. Then, our experts suggest maintenance, repair, or replacement. This approach prevents unexpected downtime and prolongs asset life. Our service, covering a wide range of assets, structures and equipment, ensures safe and efficient operation for years.

Frequently Asked Questions
3D scanning services can be very accurate. The accuracy depends on the scanner and the subject. For larger subjects like buildings, accuracy is usually within a few millimeters. Size, surface material, and conditions affect accuracy. Shiny or transparent surfaces can reduce it. Professional services use calibrated equipment for consistency. They often take multiple scans from different angles to improve accuracy. Advanced software cleans up scan data and boosts precision. For most projects, 3D scanning is much more accurate than manual measurements.
We use 3D scanning for a wide range of applications. The 3D scanner is an invaluable tool for measuring objects and structures that are difficult to measure by hand. By combining 3D scanning with traditional measurement and inspection methods, we deliver more comprehensive and accurate results. This approach allows us to enhance the precision and reliability of our deliverables, ensuring they meet the highest standards for our clients.
A 3D scanning project’s time varies widely based on several factors. Small, simple objects might take just a few minutes to scan. Larger, complex items could take several hours or even days. The scanning itself is usually quick, sometimes under an hour. But, preparing the subject and setting up the equipment can take time. Processing the scan data into a usable 3D model often takes longer than the scan itself. For large projects like buildings, scanning might take a day, but processing could take weeks. Rush jobs are possible but may cost more and lose some detail. The timeline also depends on the required output: raw scan data or detailed CAD models. Experienced scanning services can often provide accurate time estimates before starting. They may offer different turnaround options to fit various project needs and budgets.
