Based in Sydney and operating worldwide, WYSIWYG was founded in 2003 by engineer Shane Rolton. Proudly local and independent, we are Australia’s original and best 3D laser scanning business.
We continue to expand our range of equipment to maintain our edge in data capture and processing. With thousands of satisfied clients and successfully completed projects behind us, we’ve earned a reputation as innovators and industry leaders.
Born and raised in Wagga Wagga NSW, Shane left home to take up a cadetship with Hawker De Havilland (now Boeing) and studied Mechanical Engineering at the University of Technology Sydney.
Shane is the longest user of high-precision 3D laser scanning technology in Australia.
His career highlights include helping athletes to win Olympic medals and working with the biggest names in Hollywood. He supports the F1 in Schools STEM Challenge as a National Judge and has served on the Board of Engineers Australia.
in 2019 Wysiwyg 3D has become the Scanning Division of GoProto ANZ, a leading 3D printing, Rapid Prototyping, Additive Manufacturing, and Production services provider.
Wysiwyg 3D has been providing 3D scanning services since 2003, and will continue to provide the same quality laser scanning, photogrammetry and 3D CAD modelling service with GoProto. The merge for Wysiwyg 3D is a logical step to enhance productivity and remain innovative.
Stay tuned to see where growth and innovation take us!
