Solution overview

The 3DMSL Platform provides state‑of‑the‑art 3D scanning, metrology, and structured‑light/laser measurement services, converting real-world objects into highly accurate digital models. It targets manufacturers, academic researchers, cultural heritage experts, and design engineers. The solution addresses critical challenges such as reverse engineering, quality inspection, dimensional analysis, and heritage digitization. By delivering dense point clouds, precise meshes, and validated 3D data, 3DMSL helps reduce error, accelerate prototyping, and support preservation and restoration of artifacts.

Key features

High‑precision 3D scanning using structured-light, terrestrial, and laser technologies. Expertise in metrology with option for uncertainty evaluation, supporting ISO‑grade measurement. Proven experience in interdisciplinary applications: cultural heritage (e.g., medieval paintings, Dacian artefacts), architectural scanning, and automotive components. Reverse‑engineering workflow from raw scan data to mesh to CAD. Ability to validate photogrammetric models: the lab has published on photogrammetry accuracy against custom-designed gauges. Close collaboration with academic researchers and industry, enabling both research-grade quality and practical industrial usage.

Integration and adaptability in manufacturing environments

The 3DMSL solution can be smoothly integrated into manufacturing and design workflows. Scanned data (point clouds / meshes) can be exported in standard formats (e.g., STL, OBJ) that are compatible with common CAD/CAM systems, enabling reverse‑engineering, quality control, or digital twin creation. The platform’s processes can be customized to particular manufacturing needs - for example, choosing resolution, scanning method (laser vs structured light) or data format - depending on object size, material, or precision requirements. The lab’s metrology tools are fully compatible with common industrial technologies, enabling seamless bridging between physical parts and digital systems.

Implementation support and training for manufacturers

3DMSL offers full support from the start: companies can consult with the lab’s metrology and scanning experts to define a scanning or measurement strategy. During execution, the lab assists with scan setup, alignment, and data acquisition. After scanning, it provides data post‑processing, mesh cleanup, and quality validation. The lab also offers training in data handling, reverse-engineering, and metrology best practices. For long-term partnerships, companies can draw on the lab’s research‑oriented network for joint projects or follow-up analyses.

Sustainability, compliance and certifications in the EU

The 3DMSL infrastructure operates with sustainability in mind by promoting digital, non-contact measurement which reduces material waste compared to destructive testing. Its metrology practices are aligned with international standards for measurement uncertainty and quality control, as evidenced by its research publications on precise photogrammetry and measurement methods. While specific industry certifications depend on the use case, the lab's methodologies support adherence to EU quality and environmental standards by enabling accurate validation and minimizing scrap.
