How Our Scan to CAD Process Works

REVERSE ENGINEERING

Specifically, we process the raw 3D scan data to extract precise geometric references and correct any physical wear on legacy parts. This critical stage accurately captures exact dimensions, effectively serving as the foundation for a flawless digital recreation.

3D Modelling

Alternatively, using your reverse-engineered references or initial sketches, we build a clean, parametric CAD model from scratch. Moreover, our team fixes physical wear on discontinued parts, restores proper design intent, and can seamlessly modify features to suit your new custom fabrication requirements.

“Recently, our facility brought in a heavily worn industrial mud agitator impeller that had no existing blueprints. They scanned it and provided a flawless parametric CAD model. As a result, the original design intent was fully restored, correcting the worn blades.”

Thomas Lin / Industrial Equipment Designer

“The Scan-to-CAD service is exactly what we needed for reproducing parts for legacy machinery. Instead of just handing over a raw mesh, they built a clean, fully editable STEP model. Consequently, that model went straight into our CNC workflow without any issues.”

Elena Rostova / Senior CNC Machinist

“Our team needed to reverse-engineer a discontinued hardware component for a commercial espresso machine. It was a highly specific, intricate piece featuring a single-button assembly. Fortunately, the team captured the geometry perfectly and delivered a flawless parametric model.”

Arthur Penhaligon / Food & Beverage Equipment Technician

“Designing custom solar panel mounts for expedition vehicles requires knowing the exact roof curvatures. They scanned the vehicle’s profile and provided us with a highly accurate CAD model. Therefore, this allowed our team to design custom brackets that fit perfectly on the very first try.”

Markus Kinsley / Lead Automotive Fabricator

“As an established manufacturing firm, we require strict tolerances for our custom hardware enclosures. We handed them a rough physical prototype for an ESP32-based control unit. Not only did they digitize it, but they also optimized the internal standoffs and wall thicknesses for production.”
