3D Scanning
Services
Have a part you want to copy, change, or build around?
DDA Maker Technologies provides 3D scanning services in New Jersey, capturing an object’s accessible surfaces as a digital mesh. Use the scan as a starting point for CAD reconstruction, replacement-part design, or a component that fits around the original.
Useful for curves and complex shapes that are hard to measure by hand.
From object to file to part
What do you need us to make?
A scan file, an editable design, and a printed part take different work. Tell us what you need back. We’ll help you choose the steps.

Scan the object
3D scanning
We capture the surfaces the scanner can reach and process them into a mesh: a 3D file of the object’s shape. A scan does not reveal hidden insides or fill in missing pieces.
Result
A 3D scan file

Rebuild or change it
Need to move a hole, replace a broken tab, or design a matching bracket? We can use the scan as a guide to draw a model you can edit. This is separate design work.
Result
An editable CAD model
-
Make a physical part
Want a replacement or a test part? We can review the design for printing, choose a material, and plan fit checks. Printing and any changes needed are quoted as part of the project.
Result
A printed part
Before we quote
Can your object be scanned?
Material and finish
Shiny, clear, or very dark surfaces can be harder to scan. Send photos and tell us what the object is made of. We’ll discuss whether it needs surface preparation.
Broken or worn areas
A scan copies damage too. Point out cracks, worn edges, and missing pieces. Rebuilding those areas takes design work beyond the scan.
How closely it must fit
Tell us which holes, edges, or surfaces must line up with another part. We’ll review the measurements and fit your project needs before accepting the job.
Photos from several sides. Include the underside and any damage.
Approximate size in mm. Length, width, and height are a useful start.
What you want to do with it. Get a file, change the design, make a replacement, or make something that fits around it.
Trying to replace a broken or missing part? See our replacement parts service . You can start there even if there is no complete object to scan.
Not sure which service you need? Describe the job. Contact us before shipping or bringing an object. We’ll confirm what we can provide and the cost before starting.
Based in New Jersey, we support projects across New York, Pennsylvania, and Connecticut, with other locations considered case by case.
