Project quoting

A clear quote begins with the part and required output.

Pricing depends on geometry, surface finish, access, required detail, output type, and requested deadline. Send a few project details for a scoped quote.

Los Angeles planning ranges

Typical project pricing.

These are realistic planning ranges for common Kymerion work—not fixed bids. Photos, approximate size, material, and the required output make the final quote accurate.

How quotes are judged

Use the range. Quote the actual part.

The ranges answer “roughly what should I budget?” The final quote reflects capture difficulty, geometry complexity, required accuracy, interpretation, review, and the agreed handoff.

Photos, approximate dimensions, material, surface condition, and the intended output help make the first quote more accurate.

What the price buys

Choose the output before comparing quotes.

A low scan price and a complete scan-to-CAD project are not the same product. Compare the capture location, cleanup level, file type, editability, validation, documentation, and review included in each scope.

01

Measured mesh

Capture and delivery of agreed measured geometry, commonly as STL or OBJ. Useful for reference, visualization, archiving, or a separately planned downstream workflow.

Review 3D scanning →
02

Editable CAD

Measured geometry plus a separately scoped reconstruction into controlled STEP or IGES surfaces or solids. Model class, features, and design-intent decisions affect the work.

Review scan-to-CAD →
03

Comparison or on-site work

Reference alignment, deviation views, mobile capture, travel, access planning, and special handoff material are priced around the actual site and decision being supported.

Cost questions

Understand the range before requesting the quote.

These answers separate capture, reconstruction, on-site work, and comparison so the estimate reflects the result you actually need.

How much does 3D scanning cost in Los Angeles?

Kymerion publishes a typical planning range of $350–$950 for scan capture of a small-to-medium part with an STL or OBJ mesh handoff. Part size, geometry, surface finish, access, capture location, cleanup, coverage, deadline, and the exact files required can move a project below or above that range.

Why does scan-to-CAD cost more than a 3D scan?

A scan records measured geometry as a point cloud or mesh. Scan-to-CAD adds a separate reconstruction step in which agreed features and surfaces are interpreted and rebuilt into an editable STEP or IGES model. Kymerion publishes a typical $900–$3,500 planning range for that work, with complexity and model requirements driving the final quote.

What is normally included in a mesh-only 3D scanning quote?

A mesh-only scope typically covers the agreed capture, alignment, basic cleanup, and delivery of the specified measured-geometry file such as STL or OBJ. Hole filling, heavy mesh repair, CAD reconstruction, drawings, deviation analysis, travel, or special documentation are included only when stated in the quote.

How much does on-site 3D scanning cost in Los Angeles?

Kymerion publishes a typical $950–$1,600 planning range for a half-day Los Angeles mobile capture. Travel distance, access, safety requirements, setup time, part size, surface preparation, working clearance, schedule, cleanup, and follow-on CAD or comparison work affect the final price.

What affects reverse-engineering and CAD reconstruction pricing?

The largest drivers are geometry complexity, feature count, freeform surface work, treatment of wear or damage, required model class, critical interfaces, validation method, drawings, revisions, deadline, and the final file package. A simple prismatic bracket is a different scope from a dense housing or organic surface.

What should I send to receive a firm project quote?

Send clear photos from several angles, approximate dimensions, material and surface finish, location, deadline, intended use, the exact output needed, and any reference CAD, drawings, tolerances, or critical features. Kymerion reviews those details before confirming scope, price, and schedule.
