Good day, I have a plastic component that I would like you to scan and reproduce in metallic material. Could you tell me if I can send you the plastic component for evaluation? Thank you.

      Good day Giuseppe,

      Thank you for reaching out. We don’t offer physical scanning of parts directly, but the best way forward is simple: if you have (or can get) a CAD file of your plastic component, you can upload it directly to our instant quoting engine.

      From there, select DMLS (Direct Metal Laser Sintering) as the technology, choose your metal of choice, and you’ll get an instant quote plus lead time.

      If you don’t currently have a CAD file, reverse-engineering the part into one (via 3D scanning or manual modelling) would be a necessary first step before we can quote it, since we work from digital files rather than physical samples.
