From a steel mill floor to the foundation of a digital twin.
Who we are
Born in a steel mill during COVID.
Anthony Butchbaker started as a commercial diver before founding Spartan Scanning Solutions. He saw a gap in steel mills during COVID: critical equipment getting repaired blind, contractors arriving with the wrong measurements, shutdowns running over by hours that cost $250,000 each. He built Spartan to close that gap. We deliver mm-level accurate visual twins of the mill floor in 72 hours, then take operators on the journey to a full two-way digital twin with PLC, scale, and sensor integration. We are hyper-focused on steel mills, metals recycling, and heavy manufacturing.
Our Value
Visual twin in 72 hours. Digital twin when you're ready. Two-way connected data, not a 3D model.
Spartan saves steel mills from the most expensive thing they do: unplanned downtime. We capture reality, deliver the visual twin in 72 hours, and integrate live operational data on the journey to a full digital twin. Every deliverable is built to be used on the floor, not parked on a server.

Our goal
Operations-grade reality capture for steel and recycling.
Most reality capture vendors hand you a point cloud and disappear. We hand you a working visual twin and stay through the digital twin journey. Same point cloud. Same model. Same dimensions. Across your engineers, your contractors, your operators.
Our output
Cut downtime. Plan against real geometry. Save $250K an hour.
Geometry alone is a 3D model. A twin reads and writes. We integrate scales, sensors, PLCs, and work orders so the twin reflects what is actually happening on the floor. That is the difference between a snapshot and a system.
How we benefit you
Increased scalability
Already using reality capture workflows? You don’t need to reinvest 100K every time you want more data.
We do all the work. You don’t have to worry about the data capture we just take over and continue the work without you needing to make a massive investment
