CAD Scanner | Scan to CAD & Blueprint Scanner Systems

If you only want to scan technical documents, choose a SmartLF SC Xpress wide format scanner. If you want the versatility to scan technical documents, artwork and photos, choose one of the SG scanners.

If your technical documents are dirty or in poor condition, we also recommend SmartWorks Pro software. This allows you to quickly and easily clean up CAD drawings or blueprints.
