After gaining a degree in Product Design and Visualisation and following 20 years’ experience in the engineering industry, company founder Doug embarked upon creating Capture Point to encompass his passion about all things 3D, technology, engineering and design.
Doug had worked for premium automotive manufacturers on luxury, premium, sports and supercar projects and as technology progressed, he realised how useful 3D scanning and printing could be, and developed his expertise in this area.
He found that similar companies were established by people from a quality control background, and whilst quality is still key to the process, Capture Point provides scanning for engineers, by engineers.
Technology is progressing all the time, but Capture Point always has the best 3D scanning technologies for the job at hand. Working with multiple technologies enables the company to take on a multitude of projects and work with all types of requirements. The key element is listening and understanding to the client’s requirements, so the best recommendations can be made.
How Capture Point can help you
REVERSE ENGINEERING
We use the very latest metrology grade scanning systems to ensure our reverse engineering process starts with the very best data possible to create CAD models for use in downstream processes.
3D SCANNING
We produce high resolution 3D scans with industry leading accuracy from 0.03mm. We can 3D scan any object, any size, from just a few mm up to 100m plus and any surface, any colour.
7 AXIS CNC MACHINING
We can quickly create large complex models, mold patterns and sculptures milled in a range of materials from woods, foams, model boards and many more.
3D SCANNER HIRE
Get scanning straight away! Point and shoot 3D scanning with our Peel2 scanner, made by the industry leaders in industrial 3D scanning equipment, Creaform you are guaranteed quality results.
PART INSPECTION / METROLOGY
We scan your parts and align and compare the data to an existing CAD master model, which allows us to quickly see deviations over the object or direct us to inspect specific points.
Case studies
Aston Martin Classic Restoration – Creating the Buck
Very few cars can match the beauty of a classic car like Aston Martin. Capture Point were commissioned to develop a ‘Golden Master’ new buck for the construction of a DB4 GT front end. Read how Capture Point use the very latest in 3D scanning technology and and their automotive engineering knowledge to subtly enhance the original by adding symmetry while keeping all the uniqueness of a hand built vehicle.
