Testimonials
Engineering technology solutions that exceeded our expectations
“At Wilson Iron Works, Inc we have used WAF Engineering for many years on small projects to large complex design, engineering, and structural jobs. WAF Engineering has always been able to support our needs and help when it really counts”
Zachary Murray
General Manager, Wilson Iron Works
“WAF Engineering has been amazing to work with! I’ve worked with WAF on multiple projects from concept to final build and have been thoroughly impressed with every project throughout the entire process. Chris and his team are very detailed and go above and beyond to ensure their designs/projects are successful. Their 3D scanning abilities along with design work is top notch. I really appreciate the time they take to come on site to understand every detail of the project and conducting project reviews to ensure we stay on track for our deadlines. If you are looking for engineering support, design work, 3D scanning and modeling, etc you should definitely reach out to WAF Engineering!”

“Working with WAF has been an absolute game-changer for my CAD design projects. Their precision and expertise in 3D scanning technology have revolutionized the way I approach my work. Having access to their high-quality 3D scans as references has significantly streamlined my design process and improved the accuracy of my creations. I can now easily incorporate real-world dimensions and proportions into my CAD designs. This not only saves me valuable time but also ensures that my models are more precise and realistic. I cannot recommend WAF Engineering highly enough. Their professionalism, expertise, and dedication to delivering top-notch 3D scanning solutions have truly transformed the way I work.”

FAQ
Find answers to commonly asked questions
3D scanning is a non-destructive technology that captures the shape and size of an object using laser or optical scanners. We use this technology to create highly accurate 3D models of real-world objects for use in design and manufacturing.
3D scanning is the process of taking anywhere between thousands and billions of measurements with a 3D scanning device (Area Scanner, object scanner, metrology level scanner, etc..). These points are then combined in a registration process to generate a point cloud which contains all of the measurements taken. Color can also be applied for a realistic representation of equipment. This can all be accomplished without the generation of CAD files thus saving time and cost.
3D scanning allows you to know more and do more than traditional hand measurements.
- Pull several measurements accurate to up to 1/32” without leaving your desk or accidentally forgetting that key additional measurement.
- Insert scan data directly into CAD so you can design with confidence.
- Measuring objects that are not accessible easily or via a manlift thus saving cost.
- Remote users can view and measure without costly travel.
- Historical preservation – for buildings and other objects, have a record of the historical state in case of natural disasters or active construction on site.
- Cost savings through speed, accuracy, integration
- Scanning takes less time and provides a more accurate result versus traditional measurement tools and removes the risk of forgetting measurements.
