3D Scanning in New Hampshire
3DScanPost is a 3D scanning service based on the Seacoast of New Hampshire, serving customers worldwide by mail. We scan mechanical parts, prototypes, sculptures and one-off objects and deliver the results as STL and PLY mesh files that open in virtually any CAD, slicer or mesh tool.
Three ways to get scanned
- Mail it to us. Photograph your part, get a quote, and ship it to us, including a return shipping label in the package. This works from anywhere in the world, and it is how most customers use the service. See how it works.
- Bring it to us. If you're local, we can arrange for you to come to our Seacoast, NH facility.
- We come to you. For parts that can't be moved, we can travel to you, up to about one hour of travel time.

Local questions
What size parts can you scan? From roughly 100mm cubes up to about half the size of a car. If you're not sure, send photos and we'll tell you.
Can you scan shiny or dark parts? Yes. For reflective, transparent or very dark surfaces we can apply a temporary scanning spray that evaporates after scanning.
More answers are in the FAQ. Also see 3D scanning for 3D printing and reverse engineering with 3D scanning.
