Yes. Our outdoor scanning setup works in direct sunlight and on dark metal surfaces without spray, so we can scan temple idols, bronze sculptures, and monuments in their original location — no relocation, no risk of damage. Perfect for heritage documentation, archival, and replica 3D printing.
Where is FOFUS Scan available and which areas do you serve?
FOFUS Scan offers mobile on-site scanning across Kerala — Ernakulam (Kochi), Thrissur, Palakkad, Kottayam, Alappuzha, and Kozhikode. We come to your location for large or delicate objects. No travel surcharge within Thrissur district.
What file formats and CAD software does FOFUS Scan support?
FOFUS Scan provides 3D models in STL, OBJ, PLY, GLB, and USDZ formats — compatible with Geomagic, SolidWorks, Blender, Fusion 360, Exocad, 3Shape, Rhino, Matrix, 3Design, JewelCAD, and all major CAD software. Reverse-engineering CAD modelling (STL → STEP/IGES) is available on quotation.
How accurate is 3D scanning?
FOFUS Scan achieves accuracy down to 0.04mm for fine-detail jewellery and dental scanning, and 0.1-0.5mm for larger objects like car panels and sculptures. Accuracy depends on the scanner used, object size, surface finish, and lighting. For jewellery and dental work we use high-resolution scanners; for automotive and engineering we use structured-light scanners with multi-angle stitching.
How long does a 3D scan take?
Scan time depends on object size and detail. Small items (jewellery, dental models): 5-15 minutes per piece. Medium objects (sculptures, parts): 20-45 minutes. Large objects (vehicles, full-body scans): 1-3 hours with multi-angle stitching. Post-processing (mesh cleanup, watertight conversion) adds 30-60 minutes. Most scans are delivered within 24-48 hours.
Can 3D scanning be used for reverse engineering?
Yes. Reverse engineering is one of the main applications of 3D scanning. FOFUS scans the physical object, converts the mesh to a parametric CAD model (STL to STEP/IGES), and then it can be modified, reproduced, or manufactured. This is commonly used for automotive parts, legacy components with no drawings, jewellery duplication, and product improvement. Reverse-engineering CAD modelling is available on quotation.
What is the difference between 3D scanning and 3D printing?
3D scanning converts a physical object into a digital 3D model — it's the input process. 3D printing converts a digital 3D model into a physical object — it's the output process. Together they form a complete cycle: scan an existing object → modify the digital model → 3D print a new or improved version. FOFUS offers both services, making us a one-stop shop for scan-to-print workflows.
Is 3D scanning safe for humans and objects?
Yes, 3D scanning is completely safe. Our scanners use structured light and laser technology — non-contact, non-destructive, and radiation-free. The object is never touched or modified during scanning. We can scan delicate heritage artefacts, gold jewellery, and even people (with their consent) without any risk. No spray or coating is needed for most surfaces.
Can I rent a 3D scanner in Kerala?
FOFUS Scan does not rent scanners directly, but we offer mobile on-site scanning across Kerala at ₹1,800/hour — which is often more cost-effective than renting. Our trained operators bring the equipment to your location, handle setup, perform the scan, and deliver processed files. This eliminates the learning curve and equipment risk of self-operation. Contact us on WhatsApp +91-98958-54640 for on-site scanning bookings.
What objects can be 3D scanned?
FOFUS Scan handles: jewellery and gold ornaments, dental plaster models and impressions, car and bike panels, engineering parts and prototypes, human figurines and busts, temple idols and religious sculptures, architectural elements, heritage artefacts, and mechanical components. Objects from 5mm to 4 metres can be scanned. Dark, shiny, or transparent surfaces may require a matte spray coating for best results.
What is 3D scanning used for in industry?
3D scanning is used for: reverse engineering (creating CAD models from physical parts), quality inspection (comparing manufactured parts to CAD specs), rapid prototyping (digitising objects for modification), heritage preservation (archiving sculptures and artefacts), jewellery design (scanning rings and ornaments for replication), dental digitisation (converting plaster models to STL for CAD/CAM), automotive customisation (scanning panels for custom body kits), and product development (capturing existing designs for improvement).
Can FOFUS Scan scan a full human body?
Yes. FOFUS Scan offers personal sculpture and figurine scanning — from 10cm miniatures to full-body scans. Figurine scanning is priced separately: ₹999 (10cm), ₹1,499 (15cm), ₹1,999 (20cm), ₹2,499 (25cm), ₹2,999 (30cm). Full-body scans require a studio session. Contact us to book a body scanning session.

Everything about 3D scanning in India
How Much Does 3D Scanning Cost in India?
3D scanning cost in India varies by provider and project. FOFUS Scan charges a flat ₹1,800/hour for all categories — dental, jewellery, automobile, engineering, sculpture, and arts. At this rate you can scan 8-10 jewellery pieces or dental models per session. Figurine scanning is priced separately: ₹999 (10cm) to ₹2,999 (30cm). No travel surcharge within Thrissur district. Mobile on-site scanning across Kerala at the same rate.
What Is 3D Scanning and How Does It Work?
3D scanning captures the physical shape of an object and converts it into a digital 3D model. Scanners project structured light or laser patterns onto the object, measure the distortion, and calculate a point cloud. This is converted into a mesh (STL/OBJ) that can be used in CAD software. FOFUS uses multiple scanner types — from different manufacturers plus an in-house built setup — to handle everything from 5mm jewellery to 4-metre vehicles.
How Accurate Is 3D Scanning?
Accuracy depends on the scanner and object size. Fine-detail jewellery and dental scanning: down to 0.04mm. Medium objects (sculptures, engineering parts): 0.1-0.2mm. Large objects (car panels, full vehicles): 0.3-0.5mm with multi-angle stitching. Factors affecting accuracy: surface finish (shiny/dark surfaces may need matte spray), lighting, object stability, and scanner calibration. FOFUS calibrates before every session.
What Is Reverse Engineering in 3D Scanning?
Reverse engineering uses 3D scanning to create a CAD model from a physical object. The process: scan the part → generate STL mesh → convert to parametric CAD (STEP/IGES) → modify or manufacture. This is used when original drawings are lost, for legacy parts, improving existing designs, or duplicating jewellery. FOFUS offers STL-to-STEP conversion on quotation.
3D Scanning vs 3D Printing — What's the Difference?
3D scanning is the input — physical object to digital model. 3D printing is the output — digital model to physical object. They form a cycle: scan an existing object → modify the 3D model → 3D print an improved version. FOFUS offers both, making us a one-stop scan-to-print service. Scanning at ₹1,800/hr, printing from ₹199.
Can I 3D Scan with My Phone?
Phone-based 3D scanning (using LiDAR or photogrammetry apps) works for rough, low-detail scans. However, professional 3D scanning with dedicated scanners achieves 10-50x higher accuracy. For jewellery, dental, engineering, or automotive work, phone scanning is not sufficient. FOFUS also offers Maker AI — upload a photo and AI generates a 3D model for ₹29. For professional-grade results, book a scanning session at ₹1,800/hour.
What File Formats Does 3D Scanning Produce?
FOFUS Scan outputs STL (most common for 3D printing), OBJ (with textures), PLY (point cloud), GLB (web/Augmented Reality), and USDZ (Apple AR). These are compatible with Geomagic, SolidWorks, Blender, Fusion 360, Exocad, 3Shape, Rhino, Matrix, 3Design, JewelCAD, and all major CAD/CAM software. Need a specific format? Just ask.
How Long Does a 3D Scan Take?
Scan time varies by object size. Jewellery and dental models: 5-15 minutes each. Medium sculptures and engineering parts: 20-45 minutes. Full vehicles or body scans: 1-3 hours with multi-angle stitching. Post-processing (mesh cleanup, watertight conversion): 30-60 minutes. Most scan files are delivered within 24-48 hours of the scanning session.
Is 3D Scanning Safe?
Yes. 3D scanning is completely non-contact and non-destructive. Scanners use structured light or low-power lasers — no radiation, no damage. The object is never touched during scanning. Safe for gold jewellery, delicate artefacts, heritage sculptures, and even human body scanning. No spray or coating needed for most surfaces. Dark or shiny surfaces may require a temporary matte dusting that washes off.
What Is 3D Scanning Used For?
3D scanning applications: reverse engineering (creating CAD from physical parts), quality inspection (comparing manufactured parts to design specs), heritage preservation (archiving temple idols and monuments), jewellery design (scanning ornaments for replication), dental digitisation (plaster to STL for CAD/CAM), automotive customisation (scanning panels for custom kits), product development (capturing existing designs for improvement), and medical prosthetics.
What Is Photogrammetry vs 3D Scanning?
Photogrammetry uses multiple photographs from different angles to reconstruct a 3D model — works with any camera but lower accuracy. 3D scanning uses dedicated hardware (structured light, laser) for higher precision. FOFUS uses professional 3D scanners for jewellery (0.04mm accuracy) and large objects. For casual photo-to-3D, try our Maker AI at ₹29 per model.
Can 3D Scanning Help with Car Customization?
Yes. FOFUS scans car panels, fuel tanks, fenders, fairings, interiors, and mirror housings. The output STL is ready for SolidWorks, Fusion 360, or Blender, so your fabricator can design custom body kits, seats, brackets, and mounts that fit perfectly — no trial and error. We scan vehicles up to 4 metres with multi-angle stitching. Mobile on-site scanning at your workshop anywhere in Kerala. ₹1,800/hour.
