We offer high-quality reverse engineering services to help you understand, recreate, and improve existing parts. Whether they’re still available or long discontinued. Our goal is to give you the tools and information you need to innovate and keep your projects moving forward.

If you’re restoring a vehicle with hard to find parts or need something new designed to fit an existing component, we’ve got you covered. Using advanced 3D scanning and modeling, we can create or recreate precise, problem solving parts. Production can be done in-house or outsourced to trusted partners, depending on what best fits your project.

Already have excellent CAD skills but have trouble accurately reverse engineering, 3D scanning can be valuable in checking your work and saving hundreds of dollars and time into prototypes. You can trust fitment from real world representation of your part being modeled around.

In House Capabilities

·       Creality Raptor Pro 3D Scanner

·       Solidworks 2024

Location

Bring what you need or drop off at our shop in North Berwick, Maine. Smaller parts can be shipped and if you are local, travel is free. Once scanned we will provide a 3D mesh point cloud (STL) for you to import into your cad software.

Few things to note:

·       The STL is a graphics body and is made up of thousands of tiny triangles. Most lower end CAD software is not capable of editing this type of data and it can only be used as visual reference.

·       Make sure your CAD software will work with scan data before scanning your part. Demo scans are available to send over for testing.

·       The scan data is exported in metric. You must change the import settings on your software to MM prior to opening the file or it will be exponentially larger than real life.

·       The scanner uses structured light patterns to project onto surfaces and records the data. Some surfaces, especially black, translucent/clear, or shiny, will be difficult to scan. To counter this the part may need to be coated in a white powder aerosol spray. This is easily removable and can be wiped or washed off.

·       To track its orientation to the part being scanned, the scanner requires tracking stickers to be placed on and around the part. Depending on the size of the part this can range from ten to a thousand stickers required. They are easily removed but may leave a little residue behind, which can be cleaned.
