3D Scanning & Photogrammetry
Turn real-world objects into accurate digital models
Capture any physical object as a precise 3D model. Using structured-light scanning and photogrammetry, we digitise parts, products, sculptures, and sites, then reverse engineer them into clean, editable CAD ready for manufacture. Perfect for replacement parts, inspection, restoration, and bringing existing objects into a new design.

What We Capture
3D Scanning
High-resolution capture of physical objects into accurate digital meshes, from small components to large assemblies and parts no longer in production.
Photogrammetry
Detailed 3D models built from photographs, ideal for organic shapes, sites, and large objects that are difficult to scan with hardware.
Reverse Engineering
We turn a scanned mesh into a clean, editable CAD model so worn, discontinued, or undocumented parts can be remade or improved.
How It Works
Capture
We scan or photograph your object on-site or in our workshop, capturing geometry, colour, and fine detail.
Process
Raw data is cleaned, aligned, and merged into a single accurate mesh, ready for inspection or modelling.
Model
Where needed, we rebuild the mesh into a clean, editable CAD model, designed for manufacture.
Deliver
You receive scan data, CAD files, and a clear path straight into production with us if you choose.
Where It Helps
Replacement Parts
Recreate parts that are worn, broken, or no longer available, with no original drawings required.
Inspection & QA
Compare a manufactured part against its CAD to verify dimensions, tolerances, and fit.
Heritage & Art
Digitally preserve sculptures, artefacts, and props, then reproduce or scale them faithfully.
Custom Fit
Capture real-world surfaces so new parts and enclosures fit existing objects perfectly.
What You Receive
Why Choose Global3D
Perth-based Capture
We scan on-site across Perth and Western Australia, or in our workshop, so heavy, fixed, or sensitive objects never have to be shipped away.
Fast Turnaround
Most scans are captured and processed quickly, so you get usable mesh data and a clear next step without long waits.
Quality Control
Every scan is aligned, cleaned, and checked for accuracy before delivery, so the data you receive is dependable for engineering decisions.
Reverse Engineering Expertise
We do not just hand over a raw mesh. Our team rebuilds scans into clean, editable CAD that is genuinely ready for manufacture.
End-to-end In-house
Scanning, modelling, and manufacture all happen with one team, so there are no handovers and no gaps between capture and finished part.
Built for Manufacture
Because we also print and machine, every model is captured and rebuilt with the real production process in mind from the start.
