How It Works
From Component To Digital Model
With the handheld ZEISS T-SCAN hawk 2, we capture metrology-grade 3D scans of your components directly on site. No transport to an inspection facility. No downtime waiting for a lab. The result is a precise digital model you can act on.
From physical component to digital file
The scanner captures the component's exact geometry as a 3D model. We compare it against your CAD files to find wear, damage and deformation - or generate a new CAD model from the scan, reverse engineering for components where no drawings exist. The digital file feeds straight into our CAD system and can guide subsequent machining.
Built for hard-to-reach places
- Lightweight and handheld - works in confined spaces, at height and up-tower
- Scans small detailed features and large components with the same equipment
- Onshore, offshore, nacelles, workshops and production facilities
Scan first, decide with certainty
Before a repair, the scan documents the component's condition. After machining, it verifies the result against the CAD model and gives you a complete digital record. Used standalone or integrated with our on-site machining - the same partner from inspection to finished component.

Quality Assurance Our measurement work ensures the quality of your components, providing assurance and confidence in their quality and whether they meet the required tolerances and precision. Quality assurance also serves as your documentation and guarantee to your suppliers.
Fault Finding If we come across any errors in your components during our measurement work, we’ll promptly notify you, allowing you the opportunity to address and rectify them.
Basis For Decision We provide a measurement report, which serves as your documentation for the quality of your components. The measurement report will also highlight potential errors and deficiencies in your components, which you can use as a basis for decision-making regarding whether subsequent machining is necessary.
Fast Response We respond quickly to measurement tasks and have technicians ready to ensure the quality of your components. Within a short period, you can expect a solid basis for decision-making for your further work, as well as documentation of the quality of your components.
How It Works
Our Process
01
Inquiry
The customer contacts CNC Onsite because documentation is required prior to an installation or quality assurance of a given component.
02
Planning
We pack our equipment and go on site to perform the measurement task.
03
Execution
We conduct the measurement work and deliver a measurement report to the customer.
04
Decision
The customer receives the measurement report and uses it as a basis for deciding on potential further work. If our measurement work has detected errors on the components that require additional machining, the customer can decide whether to react based on the report.
05
Follow-up
If the customer decides to take action based on the measurement report, we are ready to undertake the necessary machining of the components.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to ship my component somewhere for 3D scanning?
No. The scanner is handheld and portable, so we capture accurate digital models of your components directly on site - eliminating the need to transport large or critical parts to an inspection facility.
Can you scan components without existing drawings?
Yes. We generate a CAD model from the scan - reverse engineering for components where no documentation exists. The file can be used for engineering evaluations, manufacturing or as-built documentation.
Where can 3D scanning be performed?
The lightweight handheld scanner works in confined spaces, at height, in wind turbine nacelles, on offshore installations, and in workshops and production facilities. It scans both small detailed features and large components.
How is 3D scanning used together with repairs?
We scan components before repair to document their condition, verify machined surfaces afterwards against the CAD model, and deliver a complete digital record of the repaired component. Scanning is also available as a standalone inspection service.
