3D Scanning


We offer small scale 3D scanning using the Makerbot Digitizer. The Makerbot Digitizer is capable of scanning objects up to 8 inches in diameter and up to 8 inches high. A typical scan takes about 12 minutes and has an accuracy of ±2mm. It will produce a watertight triangular mesh model in STL format suitable for further editing or 3D printing. The scan does not capture colour data, only geometry. Some objects and surface finishes may not scan well. We are also not able to scan some objects due to copyright restrictions.


We charge a fixed price of $15.00 per scan including GST. We can copy the resulting STL file onto a customer supplied USB drive, provide a download link or, depending on file size, send it via email.


Please contact us to learn more or to arrange a scanning appointment at our studio on Granville Island.
