FAQ's
I cannot see a part/job that is like mine on the website, can you still do it?
We can do anything (just about)! After more than 10 years in the scanning industry there has been nothing that we haven’t been able to scan. You can be guaranteed that we will do our best to try and find a cost effective way to achieve the best possible results for each and every customer. If we have any doubts we will not take the job on!
The uses for 3D Laser Scanning is continually being expanded and we are always on the lookout for new and exciting uses for 3D scanning.
Please Contact Us or Get a Quote form with your project details and information so we can evaluate your scanning needs.
Is 3D Laser Scanning expensive?
The scanning equipment is quite expensive so we offer a 3D scanning service for those customers that do not want to buy their own scanners.
The price of laser scanning is based on number of factors including size, detail, location and accuracy.
Anything from $100 for a gemstone or a small engine component, up to thousands of dollars for mining buckets and cars.
We offer discounts on multiple parts or large volume work.
All laser scanning and scan data processing in conducted by the staff at Wysiwyg 3D in AUSTRALIA and not a third party overseas company!
Please Contact Us or Get a Quote form with your project photos so we can assess your scanning needs.
Is Cyber/Laser scanning safe, does it hurt?
Scanning people is completely safe, and no it doesn't hurt.
Vivid Konica Minolta is classed as a Non- Contact Digitiser Class 2 Laser.
LASER RADIATION
DO NOT STARE INTO BEAM
CLASS 2 LASER PRODUCT
A Class 2 laser is safe because the blink reflex will limit the exposure to no more than 0.25 seconds. It only applies to visible-light lasers (400–700 nm). Class-2 lasers are limited to 1 mW continuous wave, or more if the emission time is less than 0.25 seconds or if the light is not spatially coherent. Intentional suppression of the blink reflex could lead to eye injury.

Does it take long to 3d scan/Cyber scan someone?
Depending on the clothes of the person/actor it can take as little as 10 minutes.
Generally we get the actor/person to focus on a point on the far wall and stand still. Walking around them anti-clockwise the engineer will scan their body, hands, face, hair and any other details as required.
We use another scanner to capture the hair and facial details. The engineers will get the actor/person to sit down and slowly turn around as the engineer is scanning all the while focused on a point.
If the person/actor moves the engineer will need to start again.
Still photos are also taken as a reference for use in data preparation.
My factory is overseas and I need some scanning done of my parts/objects. Is your scanning equipment portable?
Each of our scanning equipment is portable and ready to travel. Depends on the scanning equipment required it can come as onboard luggage. Some of the larger scanners and tripods may require Carnets (equipment passports) and will need to be booked in as excess luggage. Costs will vary depending on the airline.
Do you really need a photo of my part/object?
Having a photo of your part helps us with the quoting process. We look at the size, detail and even the colour of the part.
If your prefer Contact Us to make an appointment, we can take a look at your part at our factory or we can come to you.
My part/object is sensitive, Can you sign a Confidentiality Agreement?
Of course, Wysiwyg 3D deals with many private and government organisations all the time who request a confidentiality agreement.
Wysiwyg 3D staff will respect and honour the conditions of the Confidentiality Agreement.
Wysiwyg 3D guarantee that all information including documents, drawings and scan data, WILL NOT be sent to a THIRD PARTY company for scan data processing.
What formats can you export into?
Cad models can be exported in a variety of file types such as STL, STEP, IGES that directly import into industry standard packages such as Solidworks, Pro Engineer, Maya, Catia and Rhino.
Many industry professional including Engineers, Manufacturers, Artists, Industrial Designers, Designer, VFX and animation departments can use our files. If you’re not sure what format you need Contact Us and one of our Engineers can help you.
Inspection Reports are exported as pdf’s. 3D Pdf's are also now available!
