3D CAD modeling
C.A.D. model is an essential part of manufacturing regardless of the manufacturing technology. 3D C.A.D. model is always needed to make the part.
If the model is not available, our modeling service can make it free of charge to your specifications (2D drawings, sketches, existing parts (parts replica)
3D scan/Reverse Engineering for parts replica
Replica of existing parts (e.g. discontinued spare parts),via 3D scanning*/reverse engineering*/C.A.D modeling* and manufacture in the required material and quantities.
Fill the form with attached photographs, part dimensions, etc., to receive info and cost analysis.

In design phase of the part to be produced, it is possible to optimize the shape with a lightening lattice or reticular structure to reduce the amount of material required, weight, production times and consequently costs (see example on right).
Note: the best solution is for the topology optimization to be applied by designers, however we do offer an optimization service with cost included.
