Reverse Engineering

3D Scanning & Reverse Engineering

If you have an existing component that is obsolete, worn, or requires design modification, it can be accurately captured and rebuilt using high-precision 3D scanning and reverse engineering workflows.

With accuracy of up to ±0.02 mm, high-resolution structured light technology enables detailed capture of complex, freeform, and organic geometries across a broad range of part sizes. Rapid multi-angle data acquisition ensures complete surface coverage, even on intricate mechanical components.

Captured scan data is processed and reconstructed into clean, fully editable CAD models, suitable for manufacturing, inspection, or design refinement. Final deliverables are provided in industry-standard formats including:

• STEP (.stp / .step)

• IGES (.igs / .iges)

• Parasolid (.x_t / .x_b)

Whether replicating a legacy part, correcting geometry, or implementing functional improvements, the result is a precise, production-ready digital model ready to integrate into modern engineering workflows.

Concept & 3D Modelling

While we support projects at any stage of development, we deliver the greatest value when involved early in the design process.

Early collaboration allows us to integrate practical engineering decisions and advanced manufacturing strategies from the outset — reducing development time, minimising cost, and improving overall product performance.

From initial concept through to production-ready design, we can:

• Define technical design criteria

• Develop and refine product concepts

• Create detailed 3D CAD models

• Produce functional prototypes

• Support documentation for manufacturing or intellectual property

We focus on mechanically innovative products and components intended for efficient, scalable manufacturing — particularly where additive manufacturing can provide a competitive advantage.

SLS Design Optimization

Designing specifically for Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) unlocks the full potential of high-performance polymer manufacturing.

SLS enables strong, functional parts with complex geometries and scalable batch production — but achieving optimal results requires components to be engineered correctly for the process.

Through SLS-focused optimisation, we improve:

• Build efficiency and nesting strategy to maximise production output

• Wall thickness and feature geometry for structural integrity

• Powder usage and cost control

• Dimensional stability and repeatability

• Part consolidation to reduce assemblies and fasteners

By designing with SLS process behaviour in mind — including thermal characteristics and self-supporting geometries — parts can be stronger, lighter, and more cost-effective.

Small engineering refinements can significantly enhance performance, yield, and manufacturability, delivering durable, production-ready components suitable for end-use applications.
