3D Scanning Services
Professional 3D Scanning Services | High-Precision Digital Capture by Prototek
Transforming physical objects into accurate, detailed 3D digital models.
Professional 3D SCANNING SERVICES
At Prototek, we perform professional 3D scanning services every day, capturing objects of all sizes — from a tiny ring to a full-scale motorcycle. Our 3D scanning services are designed for the accurate digitisation of objects and surfaces, serving a wide range of industries from manufacturing to precision jewellery.
Thanks to cutting-edge scanning technologies, we are able to capture complex geometries and microscopic details with exceptional accuracy and fidelity.
The collected data is then converted into digital 3D models compatible with all major 3D CAD modelling and design software. Once the acquisition process is complete, these digital files can be 3D printed using a wide variety of technical, polymeric, or thermoplastic materials.
Applications are virtually limitless, from functional prototypes and mechanical components to artistic replicas, customised accessories, and more.
Our in-house professional 3D printers guarantee precise, repeatable, and reliable results for every project.
Nationwide coverage and local expertise
Our main facility is located in Valenza (AL), easily accessible from Turin and Milan, two of Italy’s leading industrial hubs.
We also provide remote 3D scanning services across the country, making Prototek a reliable partner for companies and professionals throughout Italy seeking accurate digital replication and prototyping.

Each device is selected based on project requirements, object complexity, and desired output format, ensuring a fully customised solution and impeccable quality.
Understanding 3D Scanning Technology
A 3D scanner can be described as a device that optically captures the surface of a physical object, interpreting it as a collection of pixels to reconstruct a detailed three-dimensional model in digital form.
At Prototek, we use scanners based on structured light technology. This method projects a known pattern of light beams onto an object and analyses their deformation through a system of optical sensors. The resulting data is used to reconstruct the object’s volume with high precision.
Our structured-light 3D scanners can capture objects of any size and at different levels of quality, depending on the needs of the project, from micro-scale components to large industrial parts.
The 3D Scanning Process
The process begins with the acquisition of the physical object, performed using optical detection techniques.
Structured light patterns are projected onto the object to record spatial deformations, which are then processed by advanced software to recreate accurate 3D geometry and surface details.
The result is a digital 3D file, exportable in all standard formats (including .STL, .STEP, .IGES) and ready for further modelling, simulation, or 3D printing.
The generated models can be used for:
• Reverse engineering and product redesign.
• Dimensional and quality control.
• Finite Element Method (FEM) simulations.
• Creative or artistic applications, such as digital sculpting or restoration projects.
A major advantage of our system is scalability: we can scan anything from a ring or a screw to large mechanical parts or sculptures, adapting our workflow to individual prototypes or batch production requirements.
Tailored 3D Scanning Services
At Prototek, every project begins with a detailed needs assessment. Together with the client, we define the purpose of the scan, the characteristics of the object, and the intended use of the 3D model.
Based on these factors, we propose the most suitable technical and economic solution, ensuring optimal accuracy and efficiency.
Whether you are a designer, engineer, artist, or manufacturer, our team provides end-to-end support — from data capture to the delivery of the final digital file or physical prototype.
We also offer post-scan support, including data refinement, editing, and additional processing, to ensure every model meets your exact standards and specifications.
