Services
3D Scanning Services
Napco delivers high-resolution 3D scanning solutions for construction documentation. Our professionals use state-of-the-art LiDAR technology to capture existing building conditions, creating detailed point clouds for as-built models. This enables architects and engineers to reduce rework and improve design accuracy across the tri-state region.
Document Digitization
We convert architectural drawings and construction documents into digital formats. Our advanced scanning systems create searchable PDFs and CAD-ready files, helping firms transition from paper-based workflows to efficient digital document management systems for construction projects.
Large-Format Printing
Napco provides CAD printing solutions using HP DesignJet and PageWide XL systems. Our large-format printers produce construction plans, blueprints, and technical drawings with precise line definition and color accuracy for AEC professionals throughout New Jersey and New York.
Reality Capture Solutions
Our reality capture services combine 3D scanning and photogrammetry to create accurate digital representations of physical sites. This technology supports construction verification, building information modeling (BIM), and facility management applications for complex projects across the tri-state area.
Printer Maintenance Contracts
We offer comprehensive maintenance agreements for large-format printers. Our certified technicians provide preventive maintenance, parts replacement, and priority repair service for HP, Canon, and Epson plotters, minimizing downtime for architectural and engineering firms.
