Drawing Scanning and Large Format Scanning Services
About Us Contact Us
At our scanning centre, we provide comprehensive drawing scanning and large format scanning services, expertly designed to convert your legacy hard-copy drawings, plans, schematics and microfilm into high-quality digital files. Using advanced wide-format scanners, we can handle a diverse range of documents including architectural drawings, engineering diagrams, construction plans, maps, and schematics. Our state-of-the-art equipment is capable of processing documents up to 3 feet wide, accommodating both full colour and greyscale formats to ensure exceptional clarity and detail.
Our drawing scanning services are tailored to meet the needs of professionals seeking precision and versatility. The process involves scanning your drawings and outputting files in commonly used CAD and GIS formats such as PDF, TIFF, JPEG, DWG, and DXF. Our high-resolution scanners capture every intricate detail from your original documents, ensuring that the digital files are true to the originals. In addition, we offer vectorisation services that convert raster images into editable vector graphics. This functionality allows your scanned drawings to be easily manipulated and edited in CAD programs, thereby eliminating the need for time-consuming manual redrawing and reducing overall costs.
Digitising your drawings through our specialised drawing scanning services brings numerous advantages. It facilitates easy integration of legacy documents into modern software programs, enhancing accessibility and collaboration across teams. By organising digital files into a searchable archive, you gain quick access to specific drawings on demand, which significantly improves workflow efficiency. Furthermore, our digitisation process helps preserve fragile originals by creating digital backups, thereby protecting valuable documents from potential damage or loss.
Our large format scanning services are specifically designed to accommodate oversized, delicate, or rare materials that traditional scanners may struggle with. Our large format scanning technology ensures that documents up to A0 size are captured with high resolution, whether in black-and-white or full colour. This capability is particularly beneficial for scanning large-scale architectural plans or detailed engineering drawings that require precise reproduction. Once digitised, files are organised into a searchable archive for easy access and sharing, seamlessly integrating with existing workflows and software systems.
This method is ideal for handling oversized and delicate documents that traditional scanners cannot process. Our large format flatbed system scans documents without physical contact, ensuring the preservation of valuable and fragile originals.
Digitising ageing or delicate documents helps prevent physical deterioration and ensures long-term preservation.
Digital files can be organised into searchable databases, making it easy to locate specific drawings quickly.
Scanned documents can be shared easily across teams and departments, improving collaboration and project management.
Convert scanned drawings into CAD and vector formats to avoid manual redrawing and streamline design processes.
Digitised files can be seamlessly incorporated into current software programs, enhancing workflow integration.
Digital backups safeguard valuable originals from damage, loss, or degradation.
Digital files facilitate easier access and sharing, helping to modernise and optimise your workflow.
Our process begins with the careful handling of your fragile blueprints, plans, and sketches. We take great care to ensure that each document is scanned using high-end wide-format equipment that captures every detail accurately. The scanning process outputs files in various formats such as PDF, TIFF, DWG, and DXF. Additionally, we apply vectorisation techniques to convert raster images into fully editable and scalable vector drawings, enhancing usability in CAD software.
Once digitised, your files are organised into a searchable archive, making them readily accessible and easy to share with teams and partners. Our services ensure that digitised copies integrate smoothly with existing workflows and software systems.
