3D scanning and 3D printing are methods used in designing a product. 3D printing involves printing a three-dimensional object based on a digital model (CAD file). 3D printing belongs to the rapid prototyping industry. This is the collective term for a ratio of techniques that make it possible to quickly manufacture product prototypes.
In 3D scanning, the process works the other way around. A three-dimensional object is converted to a point cloud which can then be converted to CAD file. 3D scanning and 3D printing are complex technologies. Do you want to apply these advanced technologies to your product? Then it makes sense to work with a partner with a lot of expertise.
3D printing is also known by the more general term Engineering. 3D scanning is the opposite process and is therefore also known as Reverse Engineering. Not only expertise and experience is important in 3D printing and 3D scanning. It is also important to use modern machinery. Heycop has a modern 7-axis laser scanning arm from Hexagon and a new 3D Itomec i500 printer with a build volume of 500x500x500 [mm]. We also offer you professional guidance, from design to final product.
