Scan Hub has completed 3D laser scanning projects on a wide range of vehicles, from passenger cars and four-wheel drives through to military vehicles and heavy mining equipment.
By capturing accurate dimensional information, manufacturers and engineering teams can confidently develop replacement components, aftermarket accessories and new product designs using reliable existing-condition data.

The Challenge
Modern vehicle bodies and chassis contain complex curves and surfaces that are extremely difficult to measure manually. Even small measurement errors can lead to costly redesigns, poor component fitment and unnecessary rework.
Our Solution
Using high-accuracy 3D laser scanning technology, Scan Hub captures detailed point cloud and STL mesh data with sub-millimetre precision. The resulting data provides an accurate foundation for reverse engineering, Scan to CAD workflows and 3D modelling.
Our Australia-wide capability also extends to some of the mining industry's largest mobile assets, including haul trucks, excavators and large mining shovels.
Project Outcome
Accurate 3D reality capture allows engineering and manufacturing teams to design with confidence, reduce development time and improve product quality. By replacing manual measurement with precise digital data, clients benefit from faster design workflows and more reliable engineering outcomes.
