Three shape proposals
The vertical design plan compares the three initial shapes prepared for the underwater scale-bar project.
Custom Scanning Scale Bars
Custom Photogrammetry Scale Bars
Built to fit your setup.
We produce custom scale bars for photogrammetry and scanning workflows — with your required size, material, marker layout, tags, branding and design. Whether you need a one-off prototype or a larger batch, we can build around your use case.
Custom markers & tags Coded targets, serials, IDs or special layouts
Custom material & finish From lightweight boards to rigid aluminium builds
Example project
Underwater scale bars for university field work.
One of our custom projects was a set of scale bars for underwater use. They were made from 5 mm thick aluminium and used a special coated foil suitable for seawater environments.
Aluminium bar before foiling
The machined 5 mm aluminium bar before its printed, seawater-resistant surface was applied.
Finished underwater scale bar
The completed bar with its coated foil, graphics and photogrammetry targets, ready for field work.
What can be customized
More than just a logo.
Scale bars can be adapted to the actual requirements of your capture setup — including dimensions, material, target layout, graphics and identification.
01 / SIZE
Dimensions
Choose the overall size, thickness and exact reference distance needed for your workflow.
02 / MATERIAL
Material choice
Different materials are possible depending on required rigidity, weight, environment and intended use.
03 / MARKERS
Tags & targets
Coded targets, circular markers, custom target layouts, identifiers or other workflow-specific markings.
04 / DESIGN
Custom graphics
Measurement markings, orientation guides, labels, QR codes or project-specific visual elements.
05 / BRANDING
Logo & branding
Add your company or university logo, department name, equipment ID, project number or serial number.
06 / QUANTITY
Single units or batches
We can produce one-off custom parts, prototypes or larger batches for teams and institutions.
Materials
Different jobs need different builds.
Some projects need something lightweight and easy to transport. Others require greater rigidity, durability or a construction designed for unusual environments.
Aluminium
Useful where rigidity and durability matter, including outdoor, marine and technical applications.
Plastics
Suitable for many custom shapes and lightweight constructions, depending on the application.
Foam / lightweight boards
A practical option where low weight is important, particularly for larger scale bars.
Special solutions
If the project needs a specific material, construction or surface treatment, tell us what the bar needs to withstand.
Typical custom options
Made to your requirements.
If you already know exactly what you need, send us the specification. If not, a description of the intended use is usually enough to start working out the details.
Reference distance For example 50 mm, 100 mm, 250 mm, 500 mm or a project-specific distance.
Overall size Custom length, width and thickness.
Targets / tags Standard targets, coded targets, IDs, numbering or custom layouts.
Graphics Custom printed or applied graphics, measurement information and orientation markings.
Branding Logo, department name, project label, serial number or equipment ID.
Production volume Single custom units, prototypes or larger production runs.
How it works
A straightforward process.
Most projects start with a short message and a rough idea. From there we can work out the dimensions, materials and design.
01
Send your requirements
Tell us how the scale bar will be used, the size you need, quantity and any design requirements.
02
We review the setup
We check the requirements and determine the appropriate material and production approach.
03
Design & approval
The layout and specification are prepared and reviewed before anything goes into production.
04
Production
Once approved, the custom scale bars are manufactured and prepared for shipping.
Custom request
Need something specific?
Send us your specification, sketch or simply describe what the scale bar needs to do. We can take it from there.
