    Get CAD Models for Manufacturing

    Even if no technical drawings or CAD files exist, 3D scanning makes it easy to generate accurate CAD models and manufacturing-ready drawings. All you need is a physical sample—we’ll scan it and deliver digital files that replicate the part’s exact geometry.

    Using the reverse engineering process, we can not only reproduce the original part, but also enhance or modify it based on your requirements. Whether you want to correct flaws, improve performance, or create multiple design variants, our team can adjust the 3D model to fit your goals.

    Before creating the CAD model, we consider the specific manufacturing method you’ll use—such as CNC machining, injection molding, or 3D printing—to ensure the design is optimized for production, tolerances, and material behavior.

    Machined Parts

    High quality Class-A solid models can be obtained from 3D scans that are optimized for machining operations such as mills, lathes and CNC routers. Typically, CAD/CAM software is able to use STP and/or IGES files for creating the toolpaths. High quality models ensure that the toolpaths are smooth and uninterrupted. Features like threads and lettering can be included or excluded based on your instructions.

    Cast Parts

    Flaws in a sample casting being scanned can be removed in the newly-created CAD model. Roughness can also be ignored and modeled as smooth. A scale factor can be applied to account for shrinkage. Mold cavities can be obtained from the reverse of the model, and models can be split into mold halves along a parting line.

    Waterjet, Laser Cutter or Plasma Cutter CNC Machines

    You can obtain 2D curves for machining operations such as waterjet cutting and laser cutting in DXF or DWG format.

    3D Printing and Rapid Manufacturing

    You can get models optimized for 3D printing. These can be directly from the scanner or exported from a CAD program. 3D-print files are usually in STL format and are compatible with all 3D printers. They will be “watertight” (no holes) and be free from surface errors.
