3D Scan Data Clean-up SFX

From Raw Scan to Ready-to-Print Masterpiece

Precision 3D scan clean-up for special effects studios — turning raw data into flawless models for prosthetics, props, creatures, and costumes.

The Problem We Solve

Raw scans aren’t production-ready.
Even the best 3D scans can be messy — with noise, holes, misalignments, and unwanted artifacts. For special effects teams, that means extra hours of cleanup before you can even start sculpting or printing.

We take that burden off your plate.

Every detail preserved - every flaw removed.

What We Do

Scan Clean‑Up Services

We provide meticulous digital clean‑up of 3D scans for film, television, collectibles, and fabrication workflows, including:

  • Geometry Refinement – Removing scan noise, smoothing surfaces, and optimizing topology for downstream use.
  • Detail Preservation – Retaining fine features such as skin pores, fabric textures, and subtle sculptural forms.
  • Sculptural Reconstruction – Using both digital tools and a traditional sculpting background to re‑create missing or damaged areas of a scan, restoring symmetry, proportion, and artistic intent.
  • Data Preparation for Fabrication – Ensuring watertight, production‑ready meshes for CNC milling, 3D printing, or mold making.
  • Scale & Proportion Adjustments – Matching exact measurements for costumes, props, or collectibles.

About Our Experience

With roots in the film industry dating back to 1999, we began by hand‑crafting physical props for feature films and television series. Over the years, we’ve built a deep understanding of the entire special effects fabrication pipeline — from mold‑making, casting, and painting to advanced prosthetic creation and complex fabrication processes.

This hands‑on background means our digital work is grounded in real‑world production needs. Whether we’re cleaning a 3D scan, reconstructing missing details, or preparing files for CNC milling and 3D printing, we know exactly how those assets will behave in the shop, on set, and under camera.

Our credits span productions for major studios and streaming platforms, including work on projects such as The Boys, SEE, Resident Evil, What We Do in the Shadows, and many more from our full resume.
