What's included in your 3D Design & Scanning services?

1. What's included in your 3D Design & Scanning services?

Our 3D Design & Scanning services are tailored for engineering precision and manufacturability. Services include:

2. Reverse Engineering

We capture physical part geometry using high-resolution structured light or laser scanning and convert it into editable CAD formats (STEP, IGES, STL).

3. Design for Additive Manufacturing (DfAM)

We optimize part geometry for printability, structural performance, and post-processing constraints — factoring in wall thickness, tolerances, support strategies, and material-specific behavior.

4. Production-Ready CAD Modeling

Whether you're iterating on a prototype, adjusting a mechanical assembly, or translating sketches into functional 3D models, our design team builds with downstream applications in mind.

5. Scan-to-CAD Alignment and Dimensional Validation

We offer overlay comparisons between scan data and original CAD to identify deviations and confirm part accuracy.

6. Our Approach

All work is handled in-house by engineers trained in additive and traditional manufacturing contexts. Final deliverables depend on project scope but may include mesh files, parametric CAD, 2D drawings, or analysis reports.

Let us know what your part needs to do — and we'll align the output accordingly.
