Our professional 3D scanning service can capture detailed surfaces for your 3D modeling project.

Get extremely accurate as-built 3D models

ABOUT US

We are a New Orleans based company specializing in 3D scanning and reverse engineering to aid in the restoration, preservation, and remanufacture of high value items.

MANUFACTURING

Discover the advantages of using 3D scanning to create a digital representation of your object from Robert Forbes 3D. Some of our customers are using their CAD models to design and create molds, castings, and fixtures. Others are outsourcing production entirely by having their prototypes scanned and the digital files sent directly to the manufacturer.

DOCUMENTATION

What would happen if you lost the only mold, casting, or drawing you have for your product? Having accurate digital part files is critical in today's high tech manufacturing world. Let us scan your existing mold or part so you can have the peace of mind knowing a digital record is always available.

Robert Forbes 3D services can help you reach your goals faster and more cost-effectively.

RAPID PROTOTYPING

3D printing has become a standard step throughout the design process, but you need an accurate 3D model before you can print. Let us scan your object and provide an ideal part for 3D printing. We will also work with you to modify and improve upon the existing design of a part prior to prototyping or production.

PROJECTS

"My name is David Kunian. I am the Music Curator for the New Orleans Jazz Museum and the Louisiana State Museum. Recently I had the pleasure of working with Robert Forbes 3D for a 3D scan project for the exhibit 'Me Got Fiyo: The Professor Longhair Centennial.' The project was to scan the bust of Professor Longhair that sits in the front of the music club Tipitina’s. The scanners were both professional and diligent. It was a challenging scan as the bust has nuances, curves, and textures that are not easily captured. They did a great job and were appreciative and accommodating in the specific needs of this scan. I would recommend them to anyone who is thinking of doing any scan whether easy or complex."
