3D scanning Saffron Walden | Heritage detail

3D scanning in Saffron Walden for listed buildings, restoration and architectural detail.

your challenge.

Saffron Walden is full of listed and period buildings, and keeping them means matching detail that no one sells any more. A decayed section of moulding. A single surviving decorative bracket that a whole run must copy. A carved feature too high or too fragile to measure by hand. Conservation work demands accuracy, and a tape measure up a ladder cannot record an ornate profile faithfully enough to reproduce it in keeping with the original.

our solution.

Our blue light and infrared scanning is non-contact and accurate to 0.04 mm, so we capture mouldings, carvings and architectural details in Saffron Walden without touching or risking them, on site and at height where needed. The scan becomes a precise profile or CAD model, from which matching sections can be reproduced. We can print patterns and pieces in-house, giving restorers and craftspeople an exact basis to work from in the right material.

the impact.

Saffron Walden conservation projects get decorative detail recorded and reproduced faithfully, keeping period buildings true to their original design. A single surviving moulding becomes an accurate profile for a full run, fragile features are documented before any work begins, and matching new to old stops being guesswork. With no minimum order, one section is a proper job, and a 3 to 5 working day turnaround keeps restoration schedules moving rather than stalling on a missing detail.

Precision 3D Scanning Services for Engineering, Manufacture and Creative Production

Saffron Walden's streets are lined with listed and period property, where restoration depends on matching detail exactly. Nexform supports architects, conservators and craftspeople with non-contact 3D scanning, scan to CAD and pattern making from nearby in Essex, capturing mouldings and features safely at height or in place, then reproducing them faithfully so old and new sit comfortably together.

3D scanning sits at the start of almost everything we do. As an engineering and product development company, we use the same scan data for reverse engineering, prototyping and low volume manufacture, which means your project does not stop at a mesh file. We work across automotive and motorsport, manufacturing, R&D, medical, veterinary, marine, agriculture, construction, energy, defence, robotics, and heritage and restoration, as well as product design and creative campaign production for brands and agencies.
