Measured geometry
For archive, reference, visualization, or downstream mesh workflows, capture can be scoped around the part’s size, finish, access, coverage, and a defined STL, OBJ, PLY, or point-data handoff.
Choose the output
What do you need the part data to become?
Start here when you know the problem but not the file type. Work is scoped around the part, the reference data available, and the output required for the next step.

Send photos and rough dimensions if you are unsure. The part and end goal determine whether the job needs scan data, editable CAD, comparison evidence, or an organized handoff.

Service menu
Pick the result, not the buzzword.
If you are not sure whether you need a scan, CAD, inspection, or drawings, start with the closest outcome below. Each service page explains what that output is actually for.
01
3D Scanning
For customers who need a physical part captured as digital geometry for an agreed next step.
02
On-Site 3D Scanning
For parts, assemblies, equipment, or installations that should be captured at their Los Angeles or Southern California location.
03
Automotive 3D Scanning
For vehicle parts and surfaces that need measured geometry for restoration, replacement, fitment, custom design, or technical reference.
04
Reverse Engineering
For parts that need agreed geometry reconstructed or documented when original CAD is missing or incomplete.
05
CAD Reconstruction
For reconstructing a defined CAD model from scan reference for an agreed review or documentation purpose.
06
Inspection / Deviation Analysis
For visualizing how measured geometry differs from an agreed CAD or geometry reference.
Scope it clearly
Start with the outcome; choose the technical work from there.
A useful quote does not begin with an assumed software workflow. It begins with the physical part, what is known about it, who will use the files next, and the decision the deliverable needs to support.
Editable geometry
For design updates, selected feature work, vendor review, or neutral CAD exchange, the measured part can serve as reference for separately scoped STEP or IGES reconstruction. Measured wear is not automatically treated as nominal design intent.
Evidence and handoff
For fit review, communication, or a next technical decision, the scope can combine aligned comparison images, selected drawing views, named files, and concise notes around an agreed CAD or other reference.
Service questions
Enough detail to request the right work.
You do not need to name every process before contacting Kymerion. A few clear details about the part and final need are enough to begin a scoped conversation.
Do I need to know whether I need scanning, CAD, or comparison before contacting Kymerion?
No. Start with the physical part and what needs to happen next. Photos, approximate size, material and finish, location, deadline, available reference files, and the final decision or recipient make it possible to recommend an appropriate measured-data, CAD, comparison, drawing, or handoff scope.
Can a project begin with photos and rough dimensions?
Yes. Clear photos from several angles and approximate dimensions are useful for initial feasibility and quote review. Include whether the part can be moved, any critical interfaces, known wear or damage, location, deadline, and the output you expect to use after the work is complete.
Does 3D scanning automatically include editable CAD?
No. Scanning produces measured point-cloud or mesh data. Reconstructing agreed features and surfaces into a defined STEP or IGES CAD model is separate reverse-engineering or scan-to-CAD work, with model requirements and treatment of wear or design intent agreed in advance.
What files can a physical-part project include?
Depending on scope, a project can include measured STL, OBJ, PLY, or point data; STEP or IGES CAD; selected PDF drawings; aligned comparison images; reference screenshots; and a named handoff package. The recipient’s software and next decision determine the useful combination.
Can Kymerion review a local Los Angeles or on-site project?
Kymerion reviews Los Angeles and Southern California projects, including on-site work when a part is large, installed, delicate, difficult to ship, or needs surrounding interface context. Travel, access, working clearance, timing, safety, surface condition, and required output are confirmed during scope review.
