3D Scanning & Inspection
At The Metal Shop, we use a Keyence 3D scanner to provide fast, accurate digital models of customer parts. This technology enhances both quality assurance and reverse engineering, ensuring parts meet exact design intent.
Capabilities
Scan Area: Captures parts up to 16″ × 16″, with stitching capability for larger components.
Speed: Generates a complete 3D image in as little as 5 minutes.
Output: Creates 3D PDFs for easy visualization and sharing.
Dimensional Analysis: Reads in dimensions and tolerances specified by the client for inspection and verification.
Advantages
Rapid Feedback: Shortens the time from inspection to approval.
Versatility: Supports prototyping, reverse engineering, and first article inspection.
Accuracy: Ensures parts conform to design specifications before moving to production.
With our Keyence 3D scanning system, The Metal Shop delivers fast, reliable, and highly accurate digital part verification, reducing risk and saving time across projects.

The Metal Shop was started in 2002 by Duane Swift. After spending 30 years in the Navy and working for another exhibit company, the opportunity to start a small business was offered.
