What scan 3D does

scan 3D (legal entity: Szymon Bloch Scan3D, a sole proprietorship registered in Poland under NIP 9581540138, operated by Jacek Mieszkowicz) is a 3D measurement and digital-twin services firm headquartered in Gdynia, Poland, with additional offices in Warsaw, Wrocław, Kraków, Hamburg, Zurich, and Calgary. The company captures spatial data using 3D laser scanning (FARO S70, Leica RTC360), mobile scanning (NavVis VLX — first offered in Poland by scan 3D), high-precision handheld scanning (Artec Eva, Faro Arms), photogrammetry, and ground-penetrating radar (Leica DS2000). Acquired data is processed through Faro Scene, Leica Cyclone, RealityCapture, and Geomagic Design X, and modeled in Revit, ArchiCAD, AutoCAD Plant 3D, CADMATIC, and Aveva PDMS.

The firm delivers outputs across multiple verticals: 3D point clouds and MESH models as foundational data; BIM models at LOD 200/300/350; architectural documentation; 3D virtual walks via NavVis IVION, Matterport, Benaco, and Leica TruView; reverse engineering; and digital-twin/Industry 4.0 applications. Specialized service lines target the marine/offshore sector (BWTS/SCRUBBER implementation, ship digital documentation), industrial manufacturing (digital factory), cultural heritage (digital museum, AR/VR publishing via SketchFab and nira.app), geotechnical/infrastructure (GPR-based subsurface mapping), and 2D/3D/4D inspections. Pricing is fully project-based, quoted on scope, complexity, and accuracy requirements (e.g., +/- 0.07mm via Faro Arms up to multi-thousand-m2 mobile scans at 6mm accuracy).

The business operates on a project-by-project professional services model with B2B direct sales through a website contact form and seven branch offices. Distribution is entirely direct; no reseller or marketplace channels exist. Marketing is concentrated in industry events (BIM Meetup Polska, openBIM Poland, Polish Ports Congress 2030, LEAP, Maritime Industry Security Forum), a multilingual website with regular news/blog updates, and active social media presence on LinkedIn, Facebook, YouTube, and Instagram. The company is privately held, founder-owned, has disclosed no external funding or parent organization, and reports an employee headcount range of 11-50. A Business Development Manager (Sławomir Graban) was hired in November 2024 to lead maritime and industrial market development, and a Middle East business development effort was conducted in 2024.
