Questions about 3D scanning in Alberta

Nozzlet lists 4 shops: Distinguished 3D, StarForge 3D, Titan Innovative Designs, and Union 3D Printing.

In Edmonton, Calgary, and St. Albert. Choose a city above to see its shops.

How much does 3D scanning cost in Alberta?

Each shop sets its own prices, and they depend on the job: its size, the materials, the time it takes and any finishing (see what goes into the price of a 3D print). Message a shop with what you need, or post a request to get quotes from shops near you.

Can you scan a person?

Many shops can scan people for figurines, busts, or custom-fit costumes. Ask about full-body or head scanning, since people move and need a fast scanner.

Is a scan ready to print right away?

Often it needs cleanup first. For precise mechanical parts, the scan is usually used as a guide for a new CAD model.

Can I just scan with my phone?

Phone apps (using photos, or the depth sensor on some phones) are fine for rough shapes and art. For measured parts, fine detail, or a part that has to fit something else, a shop's scanner is more accurate.

Can you scan a broken part and make a new one?

Often, yes. The shop scans the pieces, rebuilds the missing shape in CAD, and then 3D prints or machines the new part. That's reverse engineering, and it's usually priced as design work.

Can't find what you need?
