On-site 3D Scanning Service
Can’t send it to us? We’ll come to you. Professional mobile 3D scanning anywhere in the UK for items that are too large, too valuable, or simply can’t be moved.

We Bring the Scanner to You
Our 3D scanning service is usually carried out at our Nottinghamshire facility, but that is not always practical. If a part is too large to transport, too fragile to move, fixed in place, or would disrupt your process, our mobile scanning team can come to your site.
We use the same professional Shining 3D EinScan equipment on-site as we do in our lab. Our main on-site scanner is the EinScan HX, a handheld, portable system that captures detailed scan data from engine blocks, lifting frames, and installed architectural stonework.
When Does On-site Scanning Make Sense?
There are four situations where bringing our equipment to you is the right answer
Too Large or Heavy to Transport
Engine blocks, lifting frames, large fabrications, mould tools—if getting it into a van could be a project in itself, so we come to the part instead.
Too Valuable or Fragile to Risk Moving
Some items simply shouldn’t be transported, including heritage artefacts, delicate items, and rare components where any loss or damage would be irreversible.
Scanning in place eliminates that risk entirely.
Time limitations
If your part leaving the site means your production line stops, or you only have a part for a limited time, we can perform the scanning at the time and location most convenient to you, minimising any disruptions.
It Simply Cannot Be Moved
Installed equipment, fixed architectural features, like windows and doorways—sometimes it isn’t a transport problem, some items are just immovable and on-site scanning is the only option.

Working Safely on Your Site
Safety is a priority whether we are working at your site or ours. Where requested, we can provide RAMS (Risk Assessments and Method Statements) ahead of the visit and complete your site induction process to support safe working on-site.
Where We Work
Based in Nottinghamshire, we travel UK-wide for on-site projects. We regularly work across the Midlands, Yorkshire, Manchester, Sheffield, and London, and we can travel to any UK location.
Sectors We Work In
We support customers across a range of manufacturing and heritage sectors, where parts are fixed, too large, or too delicate to move.

On-site Scanning Projects
A sample of our mobile scanning work across manufacturing, heritage, and construction
AEROSPACE • HERITAGE • ON-SITE 3D SCANNING
Vulcan Bomber XL426 Fuel Tank
Vulcan To The Sky Trust needed accurate 3D data from the internal structure of the Vulcan Bomber XL426 fuel tanks to support ongoing preservation work. The tanks could not be removed, so we scanned the internal geometry in situ from within the aircraft.
✓
Challenge: Capturing the internal geometry of an immovable object
✓
Solution: On-site handheld scanning inside the aircraft structure
✓
Result: Accurate STL mesh data delivered
HERITAGE • CONSERVATION • ON-SITE 3D SCANNING
Grade II Listed Church Window Stonework
Following a fire at St Alban’s Church in Retford, we scanned the damaged stone window surrounds on-site to produce DXF templates for laser-cut acrylic infill panels.
✓
Challenge: Weather damage to hand-carved stonework meant every window had a unique shape
✓
Solution: On-site 3D scanning, profiles exported as 2D DXF cutting templates
✓
Result: Panels fitted perfectly first time
AUTOMOTIVE • MANUFACTURING • ON-SITE 3D SCANNING
Minimising Downtime with On-site Scanning
A customer needed critical components scanned but couldn’t afford the downtime of sending parts away. We attended site and completed the scanning with minimal disruption to their production schedule.
