Sheet Metal Scanner
Snap a photo, trace the clean outline with simple circles, lines, and arcs, and export a
DXF ready for your plasma table, laser, or waterjet.
Duplicate a part you don't have a drawing for
Quick prototyping and one-off fabrication
Digitize brackets, plates, gaskets, and complex artwork
Great for home shops and small fab shops running plasma, laser, or waterjet CNC
Convert logos, clip art, or silhouette images into cut-ready DXF files — no scanning setup needed
How it works
1. Place your part on a backlit bed and snap a photo (or open an image file instead)
2. The software finds the part's edges and holes automatically
3. Trace clean geometry over the scan — circles over holes, lines over rough edges, arcs over curves
4. Export a clean, organized DXF ready for your CAD/CAM software
Honest heads-up on accuracy: this isn't a $10,000 CMM system. Across a full
scanning bed, expect roughly ±0.05" typical accuracy — great for prototyping,
duplicating, and complex shapes where CMM-level tolerance isn't the point, but not built for
aerospace-tight tolerances. If your project needs guaranteed sub-0.01" accuracy, this may
not be the right tool for it — though small, simple parts often come out closer than
that in practice. Try your free scans and judge for yourself.
What's included
Camera calibration (lens distortion correction)
Perspective correction for angled camera setups
Adjustable image processing tuned per material
Named presets — save your dialed-in settings per material/thickness
DXF export with organized layers
Also works on JPG, PNG, BMP, and other image files
$49.99 — one-time purchase, unlocks unlimited scanning
forever. No subscription, no per-scan fees, ever.
Requires Windows 10/11, a USB webcam or machine vision camera, and a backlit scanning
surface (a light table or acrylic bed lit from behind works great, but a plain white
background such as a sheet of large paper works too).
