Engineering & manufacturing
Reconstruct a component, develop CAD data or test a prototype before committing to the next stage.
Discuss your project
| The task | Services to discuss | What to send |
|---|---|---|
| Recreate a part with missing drawings | Scanning, reverse engineering and CAD | The part, its function, mating parts and known dimensions. |
| Check fit before the next iteration | CAD and 3D printing | The model, assembly context and features to test. |
| Develop a prototype fixture | CAD and suitable fabrication | The workpiece, loads, quantity and review requirements. |

Existing components and missing design data
Share the part, its function and any available drawings. Scanning and reverse engineering can be assessed when you need digital geometry or a basis for a revised design. Identify wear, damage and mating features rather than assuming every measured surface represents the original design intent.
Prototypes with a question to answer
A useful prototype has a clear purpose: checking a fit, reviewing an appearance or exploring an assembly. Tell us which decision the part needs to support. Material choice, print process and the level of CAD work can then be scoped around that purpose.
Prepare your enquiry
Include dimensions, quantity, intended use and a deadline. Flag critical features and any acceptance requirements at the outset; a process name alone does not define a suitable engineering outcome.
Discuss your requirements
Start with a sketch, photo, part or model. Tell us what you need it to do; we can discuss the next step.
