Scanning and design for race cars, trophy trucks and UTVs, from engineers who design off-road race vehicles.
3D scanning · Reverse engineering · Reno, NV
Precision 3D scanning for motorsports, aerospace and custom builds.
We capture parts, vehicles and aircraft components as accurate 3D data, then turn it into CAD you can build from. In our Reno shop or on-site, wherever the work is.

Industries
Built for work where fit and accuracy matter
Our team designs race trucks and off-road chassis, so we scan the way engineers and fabricators need the data: complete, accurate and ready to design around.
Aerospace & Aviation
On-site scanning and scan-to-CAD for MRO, legacy parts, cockpit retrofits, tooling and vintage aircraft.
Automotive & Off-Road
Scanning trucks, classics and project cars for custom builds, restomods, restoration and aftermarket parts.
Industrial & Manufacturing
Fixture checks, legacy part reverse engineering, QC scanning and large-object capture for shops and plants.
Services
From scan to solid model
Get just the scan, or have us carry it all the way to manufacturing-ready CAD and inspection.
3D Laser Scanning
Handheld blue-laser and structured-light scanning for small parts, full vehicles and aircraft sections.
Reverse Engineering & Scan-to-CAD
Scans rebuilt as editable SolidWorks models and delivered as STEP, Parasolid or IGES, ready to modify or make.
3D Scanning Inspection
Scan-to-CAD comparison with color deviation maps to check parts, weldments and fixtures against the design.
On-Site 3D Scanning
Portable handheld scanners brought to your hangar, race shop, factory or airport ramp, anywhere in the US.
Projects
Recent scanning work
Jet engines, race-car chassis, aircraft cockpits and custom builds: real jobs, from the scan through the design.

Off-Road Race Car Designed Around Scanned Axles
A two-seat, solid-axle tube-chassis race car designed in CAD around 3D-scanned axle housings, so the links, shocks and skids fit the real parts.
How it works
Prep, scan, process, deliver
Prep
Small positioning targets go on the part so the scanner can track it. Shiny, dark or clear surfaces get a sublimating spray that disappears on its own.
Scan
A handheld blue-laser or structured-light scanner sweeps the object without touching it, building an accurate 3D mesh in real time.
Process
We clean and align the data, then extract the planes, holes, cylinders and surfaces your design work depends on.
Deliver
You get a mesh, key-feature CAD or a full SolidWorks model with STEP files, plus inspection reports when you need them.
Three ways to get scanned
Bring it, ship it, or we come to you
Drop it off in Reno
Bring your part or vehicle to us. Wait while we scan, or pick it up later. Same-day scanning can often be arranged.
Ship it to us
Send parts by FedEx, UPS or USPS. We scan them and ship them straight back. Our prep checklist covers packing.
We come to you
Portable scanners travel to your shop, hangar, race team or plant, in Northern Nevada, California or anywhere in the US.

About RevvHow accurate is your 3D scanning?
Our handheld blue-laser and structured-light scanners capture detail with accuracy up to 0.03 mm (0.0012 in). On large objects like a full vehicle, overall accuracy depends on size and setup, so we use positioning targets to hold it across the whole object and talk through the tolerance your project needs before we start.
How much does 3D scanning cost?
Price depends on size, shape complexity, surface finish, the deliverable you need and where we scan. Our instant estimate tool gives you a budget range in about two minutes, and we confirm a firm price after reviewing your part.
What can you scan?
Anything from a shift knob to a full vehicle. We have scanned trucks inside and out, tube chassis, a jet engine, an aircraft cockpit, a bus undercarriage and a large metal sculpture.
What files do I get?
Scan data comes as an STL mesh (OBJ or PLY on request). If you need CAD, we model in SolidWorks and deliver STEP, Parasolid (X_T) or IGES files you can machine, laser-cut or edit.
Do you travel for on-site scanning?
Yes. We are based in Reno, Nevada and bring portable scanners to shops, hangars, race teams and factories across Northern Nevada, Northern California and anywhere else in the US.
