DeSchepper R&D provides metrology grade 3D scanning for machine shops, manufacturers, and auto body shops across the Atlanta metro area.

Specializing in part scanning, scan-to-CAD, and reverse engineering for industrial, automotive, or consumer products — not buildings.

3D Scanning Use Cases

Our structured-light and laser 3D scanners capture high-resolution geometry from a wide range of industrial parts and components. If it has a visible surface, it can be scanned.

Legacy machined parts

  • Replicate worn or obsolete components with no existing drawings.

Tooling, molds & dies

  • Capture as-built geometry for wear analysis or CAD recreation for a digital archive of production tooling.

Castings & forgings

  • Create an archived digital model of complex geometry with organic surfaces.

Quality inspection

  • Compare your physical part to the original CAD model. Quickly identify deviations, warpage, or out-of-tolerance features.

Assembled products

  • Scan sub-assemblies for fit analysis and documentation

Reverse Engineering

  • Create editable CAD geometry for legacy parts with no drawings. Ideal for obsolete components that need to be remanufactured.

Why DeSchepper R&D?

Most 3D scanning companies in Atlanta focus on architecture, construction, and large-scale LiDAR surveys.

DeSchepper R&D focuses exclusively on manufactured parts, tooling, and industrial components — That means you're talking to an engineer, not a surveyor.

• Manufacturing focus. Metrology grade accuracy.

• SolidWorks native deliverables

• Greater Atlanta service area — on-site scanning available at your facility

• One point of contact. Coleman DeSchepper handles your project start to finish.

• Fast turnaround. Most small-part scans delivered in 2–3 business days.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Most single-part scanning projects range from $150–$500 depending on part complexity and deliverable type

    (mesh only vs. full scan-to-CAD). Contact for a free project estimate.

  • Most single-part scans are completed within 1 business day. Scan-to-CAD deliverables typically take 2–3 business days depending on part complexity.

  • Scan-to-CAD means converting a scanned mesh into a fully parametric SolidWorks model with editable features.

    You need it if you're planning to modify the design, produce the part on a CNC machine, or create engineering drawings.

  • Both. We can come to your facility in the Atlanta metro area to scan large or installed components. For smaller parts, you can drop them off or ship them.

  • DeSchepper R&D provides 3D scanning services throughout the greater Atlanta metro, including Marietta, Smyrna, Sandy Springs, Alpharetta, Roswell, Kennesaw, Peachtree City, and surrounding areas in Georgia. On-site scanning is available at your facility.
