Scanning and CAD Modeling Lenses.
Story-Worthy Engineering Services
Built for responsiveness.
Our Engineering group strives to provide services worth telling others about. We've structured our entire operation to be responsive to your needs – from precision equipment to one-off widgets; we strive in every way to provide story-worthy service.
To take you to the next step.
When you begin a project with us, we'll want to know your stated and unstated project needs. We value making and keeping aggressive commitments to help you get to the next step in your project. You’ll know the accuracy of the CAD model we provide by attending a live on-line review of the CAD geometry compared to the scanned part. With equipment and skills specifically developed for precision components, we’ll find the best approach to completing your project.
Accurate Data for Correct Lighting
For critical lighting applications, IIA has extensive experience scanning, modeling, and verifying lens geometries. Tell us what you need to accomplish and we will develop a process to get the results that you need.
Giving You Capacity & Capability
Rapid, accurate results are produced when your internal resources are unable to support the demand. With tremendous capacity, our multiple locations can be an extension of your own metrology lab.
With Direct Communication
Your project will be personalized - managed by a highly trained individual with whom you will have a direct line of communication.

Scanning Outputs
Point Cloud
Raw 3D Scan Data (.txt, .asc)
Generated by all 3D scanning technologies, raw geometric data is collected as a point cloud. This is the first step in every project.
Polygons
Raw 3D Scan Data with a polygonal wrap (.stl)
Neutral file primarily used by the 3D printing industry.
Analysis
2D Visual Report (.pdf)
3D Interactive Report (.pwzip)
Point cloud data is overlaid to an existing CAD model or scan data of another part to show deviation. Used for rapid design verification, tooling validation, and first article inspection.
Referred to as a Deviation Analysis, Comparative Analysis, Computer Aided Inspection (CAI) or Verification (CAV), or Color Map. Reports can also be manipulated to show specific dimensional call outs or FAIs. We call this a "CAV Plus".
Modeling Outputs
Native Parametric Formats
Models developed in your native CAD platform. Constructed with a fully functional design tree, robust models are built for ease of editing.
NURBS File Format
Best for modeling organic shapes that do not need to be edited. Surface or solid file output (.igs, .stp)
All Reverse Engineering and Modeling project customers receive a Live Model Review at project completion.
