3D body scanning to generate accurate data for custom prosthesis, orthosis, supports, and braces. Reverse engineer healthcare devices to conduct repairs and create spare parts with medical 3D scanning.
Forget one-size-fits-all. Specialist manufacturers or doctors can use our 3D scan data to design a wide range of supportive healthcare appliances, such as prosthetics and orthotics. This allows for a tailored fit to each individual, making the item exponentially more comfortable and wearable.
Hospitals, private practitioners, and pharmaceutical manufacturers can replace damaged parts in a cost-effective manner. Digitise your components into an editable CAD file that can be used for designing or adapting medical apparatus. We can also help with the inspection and documentation of key devices.
Transform real organs and limbs into perfect 3D models from which realistic physical replicas can be produced. Schools can also develop immersive 3D visualisations and run virtual surgery simulations – offering students a unique way to learn about the human anatomy.
We use top-of-the-line scanners to guarantee that you receive the highest-quality healthcare 3D data possible.Â
We evaluate each object before scanning to determine the best strategy.
Certain items will require target markers, 3D scanning spray, or specialist jigs to guarantee optimal results.Â
We then use our non-contact, non-destructive scanning equipment to collect precise data.
Lastly, the resulting point cloud can be converted into an editable CAD file during post-processing.Â
Raw scan data gives you a triangled mesh of your object devoid of any colour or texture. It contains all defects of the scanned items and any ‘noise’ the scan has picked up.
A CAD file permits the repair and refinement of this data, which is necessary for tasks like reverse engineering, prototyping, and producing parts in as-new condition. It’s also useful if you wish to modify the design and experiment with various aesthetics.
Our usual turnaround time is 1-2 weeks. This may vary depending on whether you require scan data only, an auto-surfaced model, or a parametric model.
Reverse engineering and additional services can also extend the time frame.Â
If you have a strict deadline, let us know and we’ll work to find a solution.Â
Auto-Surfaced Model
Parametric Model
We can scan the human body to capture precise, textured data of external surfaces and create an accurate digital 3D model. It could be an individual body part, like an arm, foot, or ear, or your full body.
Our scans record, hair, facial features, and skin tone in impressive detail. And don’t worry about holding your breath, any displacements caused by small movements are removed automatically.
Yes, 3D scanning the human body is completely safe for both adults and babies. Our scanners are non-contact, non-invasive, and utilize infrared structured light which is invisible and poses no threat to the eyes.
Our 3D scan data provides exact measurements and geometries of your body which can be used by dedicated healthcare product manufacturers to design tailored medical aids and mobility assistance solutions.
This leads to better-fitting, more comfortable devices, which will make your journey to recovery that much easier.
False limbs for amputees without the messy, time-consuming plaster casts.
We can digitize your residual limb in high resolution and full colour. Prosthetics companies will be able to mirror this data to model a realistic artificial arm or leg that looks natural, with a socket that fits perfectly over your stump.
The same process also works for patients suffering from microtia.
Injuries don’t have to be the end of your sporting career. Athletes of all levels can use our 3D scans to develop personalised supports and rehabilitative or preventative gear, as wells as specialised sports prosthesis.Â
Get back in the game faster and avoid repeat damage!
We recently scanned a customer’s ankle so that she could send the 3D file over to a sports equipment supplier in Holland. They used it to create a made-to-specification ankle brace that helps her move freely when exercising without fear of hurting the ankle.
“I needed specialist ankle braces that were only manufactured in the Netherlands. Surface Scan allowed me to get my 3D scan here in the UK and send it to Holland for them to manufacture my ankle braces. Surface Scan provided an excellent service and reduced travel making it so much easier for me”.

Generate a detailed digital twin of any medical device for inspection, repair, reverse engineering, and modification. Our metrology-grade scanners provide full-field data of even the most complex geometries, accurate up to 0.020mm.
3D scan damaged part to create digital model.
Reverse engineer data and digitally repair any faults.
3D print replacement part & as many spares as you need.
Our scanning solutions drastically increase the efficiency of maintenance and repair for healthcare providers and manufacturers.
Quickly obtain accurate dimensions of medical equipment and create a digital 3D model of the physical object, without the potential for human error. This can be used to plan and assess the viability of repairs or modifications prior to carrying out the physical work.
Having trouble tracking down a rare or discontinued part from a worn piece of healthcare equipment?
Paying for a whole new device isn’t the only answer. We will 3D scan your component to CAD and digitally repair any damage.
A replacement part can then be manufactured using this file. Depending on the necessary material, we can produce your part in-house with additive manufacturing.
This is a cost-effective solution for private clinicians, dentists, physiotherapists, and chiropractors.Â
OEMs, as well as companies involved in the sale of reconditioned second-hand supplies and the reprocessing of medical devices, will all benefit from having digital copies of all products on file.
Without them, you are at serious risk of loss if anything happens to the physical items.
These models can additionally be used to enhance quality control with comprehensive inspection and deviation analysis.Â
CAD files generated from our scans are editable, allowing you to easily adjust the design before production.
3D scan a new medical device prototype to make fast iterations in CAD, run virtual simulations, and 3D print to visualise the physical object while avoiding tooling costs.
Manufacturers across industries as diverse as aerospace, automotive, and furniture utilize 3D scanning for digitisation. It is also key for the preservation of cultural sites.
We required some parts for ear defenders that were no longer available and for some adaption of already existing parts to allow them to be compatible with our MRI scanner. The whole process was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. They listened to and understood our requirements, offered excellent advice, and backed this up with an efficient design and manufacturing process. The parts produced fitted exceptionally well and have so far stood up to constant use, 13 hours a day, 7 days a week.Â

By capturing textured data of the human anatomy, it’s possible to generate a wealth of quality educational resources.
Offer students vital hands-on training with lifelike dummy body parts. By 3D scanning real human organs and limbs, you ensure that the models you produce are as realistic as possible.
Capture complicated surfaces, colours, and textures that are anatomically correct. These practical educational tools are a must for schools, universities, and anyone teaching medical workshops.
Use the 3D model we provide as a basis to build interactive learning experiences for trainee doctors. These include immersive visualisations and surgery simulations.
This allows students to practice repeatedly in a virtual environment with less pressure and lower costs. Especially useful in situations where attending a physical location isn’t viable and online education is the only option.
If you are conducting medical research that investigates effects on the human body, 3D scanning offers extreme precision for identifying even the smallest anthropometric changes.
This can be used at the beginning and end of a clinical trial to document exact measurements of subjects.
Doctors conducting plastic or aesthetic surgery can use digital 3D models to plan out surgical procedures and show the patient how they will look afterwards.
Our professional 3D laser scanning services are ideal for larger-scale projects, such as healthcare buildings and production facilities.Â
Data obtained during the furniture 3D scanning process can be converted into a wide variety of outputs.
