1978 Volvo 242DL Laser Scan Data Mesh
1978 Volvo 242DL, sitting on 940 hydras, and IPD lowering springs. Scanned at 2mm resolution.
This listing contains high-fidelity 3D laser scan data captured with a Creaform HandyScan Max Elite. Note: this is a reference mesh file intended for engineering, design, and fabrication workflows — it is not optimized for direct 3D printing. This is professional metrology-grade data — not photogrammetry, not structured light, not a hobbyist scan. If accuracy matters to your project, this is the right starting point.
What's Included
The download contains a post-processed polygon mesh exported in STL format. Scan data has been cleaned, aligned to world coordinates, and optimized for downstream engineering use. The file included represents a balanced resolution suitable for most design, fabrication, and reverse engineering workflows. Higher resolution exports and extended coverage areas are available by request for an additional fee — message us before purchasing if you have specific requirements.
Who Uses This Data
This data is used by designers, fabricators, and engineers working on:
Custom body panels, brackets, and trim reproduction
Restoration and reverse engineering of discontinued components
Aftermarket fitment development (body kits, fairings, shrouds, cowlings)
Interior and exterior accessory design
3D printing of form-fit prototypes and jigs
Custom fabrication, wrap design, and mold development
Whether you're restoring a classic, building a one-off, or developing a product for a specific platform — accurate scan data eliminates the guesswork and gets you to a correct first cut faster.
About Schimmel Engineering
We are a licensed Professional Engineering (PE) firm based in Nashville, Tennessee, specializing in 3D laser scanning, reverse engineering, dimensional inspection, metrology, and mechanical design. Our work spans a wide range of industries and applications — from vintage and specialty vehicle parts reproduction to large-scale animatronic systems, industrial equipment and machinery studies, MEP and BIM documentation, forensic documentation, and historic preservation.
Our scanning program serves clients nationwide through both on-site visits and a mail-in scanning service. Every scan we publish is captured with the same equipment and process standards we apply to our most demanding professional engagements — not repurposed hobbyist files.
Need Something Scanned?
We scan cars, motorcycles, boats, aircraft, locomotives, heavy equipment, industrial machines, MEP systems, artifacts, sculptures, and architectural structures — if it holds still long enough, we can capture it. If you have a vehicle, component, or structure you'd like professionally scanned, contact us at schimmelengineering.com or reach out here on Cults. On-site and mail-in options are both available.
Questions about resolution, file format, coverage area, or custom work? Message us before purchasing — we're happy to help.
