3D Scanning Services
When legacy machinery lacks blueprints or complex components require perfect digital replication, your choice of scanning partner is just as critical as the hardware deployed. B&R 3D Solutions provides expert 3D scanning services, converting physical objects into highly accurate digital data for reverse engineering, prototyping, and legacy part reproduction. Utilising advanced technology from leading global partners Scanology and LK Metrology, our specialists deliver high-fidelity data capture directly at your facility across sub-Saharan Africa or at our dedicated facility in Johannesburg, South Africa.
Transform physical assets into perfect digital models, accelerate your product development cycles, and eliminate manufacturing guesswork. Contact our specialists on +2711 663 2600 or complete the form below.
Handheld 3D Laser Scanning
Our team utilises advanced handheld laser scanners from Scanology to capture complex surfaces rapidly and accurately.
This portable technology operates directly on your production floor or in our laboratory, eliminating the need for rigid fixtures or complex setups. It scales effortlessly from intricate individual components to massive industrial assets to deliver high-resolution data in real time.
- High-resolution laser scanning for intricate geometries and organic shapes
- Truly portable operation to capture data in confined or challenging environments
- Non-contact measurement to ensure delicate parts remain completely undisturbed
- Rapid data acquisition for high-density point clouds and instant mesh generation
Articulated Arm Laser Scanning
We achieve maximum inspection flexibility by pairing high-accuracy articulated measurement arms with premium LK Metrology laser scanner attachments.
This hybrid approach combines the tactile precision of physical probing with the speed of non-contact scanning on a single platform. Operators can switch seamlessly between touch-probing critical features and scanning expansive surface areas.
- Integrated LK Metrology laser sensors for high-speed point cloud acquisition
- Seamless switching between tactile probing and non-contact scanning on one system
- Optimised performance on highly reflective or dark industrial surfaces
- Enhanced freedom of movement to scan deep cavities and hard-to-reach features
DefinSight Scanning Software
B&R relies on Scanology DefinSight software to drive our hardware and transform raw data into actionable engineering insights.
This powerful platform streamlines the entire digital workflow, translating dense point clouds into clean, water-tight digital models. It optimises everything from initial data acquisition to final mesh refinement and precise deviation reporting.
- Real-time point cloud visualisation and automated mesh generation
- Powerful alignment tools for rapid comparison against original CAD models
- Advanced data filtering to eliminate background noise and scan artefacts
- Direct export to industry-standard formats for seamless reverse engineering
