Scanning News: Berding 3D Scanning Introduces Services with Free Holiday STL Files

Milford, Ohio, December 16 - - Berding 3D Scanning, LLC, a reverse engineering and laser scanning services company, announced that it is introducing its services with complimentary downloads of holiday oriented STL files. The Santa Claus and reindeer files may be used for rapid prototyping or CNC machining.

The traditional Santas and stylized reindeer first appeared as handcrafted figures. Using its Minolta Vivid 910 laser scanner, Berding captured the physical form of these figures to generate a point cloud — comprised of millions of data points — of the surface geometry of each item. To generate the polygonal model (STL file), the company relied on PolyWorks software. For design modification, analysis or inspection, PolyWorks also generates NURB surfaces for importing into 3D CAD solid and surface modeling packages.

Company Overview

Berding 3D Scanning provides reverse engineering and laser scanning services for the efficient and accurate capture of 3D digital data from physical forms. Increasingly, design, analysis and manufacturing technologies rely on 3D CAD data. We help companies to develop this data for complex, organic or freeform shapes so that time, cost and quality can be improved with the use of the advanced engineering and manufacturing technologies.

Design, Documentation, Analysis, Visualization and Manufacturing

Industrial design, product development and manufacturing often find that older products are not defined in 3D CAD or that the manufactured product varies from the original design. With our non-contact, laser scanning technologies, a precise representation of these parts is delivered as a polygonal model (STL file), NURB surfaces model or solid model. Each of these formats enables you to revise, analyze or document the design; create prototypes and patterns; or manufacture parts, assemblies and products.

Berding 3D Scanning also work with the arts and sciences. In these applications, the likelihood of handcrafted, highly contoured, freeform surfaces is high, which is an ideal application for 3D laser scanning. In each instance, the accuracy and precision of our scanning process and file preparation preserves the subtle nuances that are critical to your sculpted item or archeological find.

Processing Scan Data

Art and science are not only industries that we serve, when combined, they describe laser scanning well. The physical act of scanning is pure science. However, the experience and effort required for processing the scan data is a blend of both art and science.

While the process of converting laser scanner output (point cloud data) to CAD files can be difficult and time consuming, our clients would never know it. Our expertise in preparing, managing and manipulating large digital files makes the process quick, efficient and transparent to our customers. Our output is your 3D data, which is available in STL, DXF, IGES, STEP or native 3D CAD solid formats.

Mobile and Portable for Onsite Scanning Services

For those scanning projects where the object is unmovable or impractical to ship, Berding 3D Scanning offers onsite services. Our scanning professionals will travel to your facility to capture the 3D definition of your tools, dies, manufacturing floor or building. With the capture speed of our scanning systems, we will be in and out before you know it so that we don’t take away your most precious asset: time.

The Berding Difference

What makes Berding 3D Scanning unique is our background in scanning for architecture, civil engineering and surveying applications. Through our sister company, Berding Surveying, we have years of experience in long-range, large format scanning and digital file preparation. We build on this experience for our engineering and industrial scanning services. The relationship also gives our customers access to both short-range scanning for product development and long-range scanning for large items like facility layouts.

Our scanning services are completed with professionalism, responsiveness and quality. As a professional services company, we understand that you need your job done right and on time. To validate this claim, we invite you to talk to our current customers.

Located in Cincinnati, Ohio - Serving the United States

Berding 3D Scanning is in the eastern Cincinnati suburb of Milford, Ohio. Conveniently located minutes from the I-275 beltway, we have easy access to the Greater Cincinnati area as well as Northern Kentucky and the Interstate 71 and 75 corridors.
