I take broken parts, 3D scan data, and legacy files and turn them into production-ready CAD models. Reverse engineering for small companies and engineers who need it done right, fast.Reverse-engineered fuel cap

What I do

The full path from a physical object or scan to a manufactured part — handled by one engineer.

1Rebuild

Reverse Engineering

Reconstruct clean geometry from broken, degraded, or undocumented originals — no drawings or manufacturer files required.

Broken original → editable model
2Convert

Mesh to CAD

Turn raw scan meshes into fully parametric, editable BREP and solid models built for manufacture — not just to view.

Mesh → BREP / solid
3Capture

3D Scanning

Capture existing parts and large assemblies as high-density meshes at 0.05 mm — from a single cap to a full vehicle fascia.

0.05mm · to 2.6M+ facets
04Develop

Product Development

Take a part from concept through CAD, 3D printing, and post-processing to a functional prototype you can test and hold.

Concept → CAD → prototype
05Produce

Low-Volume Manufacturing

Short production runs coordinated through vetted suppliers — CNC machining for metal, vacuum casting for polyurethane parts.

Send a photo, a scan, or the object itself. I'll tell you the fastest honest route from where you are to a finished file.

/ 03 — Tools & methods

How the work gets done

The working set behind each job — chosen per part, matched to volume and to what the finished piece has to do.

3D Scanning
High-density capture of existing parts and large assemblies, cleaned and aligned into a usable mesh.
0.05 mm
Mesh to CAD
Surface-from-mesh, split bodies, and cutting planes to reconstruct clean, manufacturable geometry from scan data.
mesh → BREP
CAD & Surface Modelling
Parametric solid and surface modelling with manufacturing intent built in from the first sketch.
SolidWorks · AutoCAD
3D Printing & Post-Processing
In-house FDM and resin printing for prototypes, jigs, and finished low-run parts, hand-finished to a usable surface.
FDM / resin
Low-Volume Manufacturing
Short runs through vetted suppliers — CNC machining and vacuum casting, managed on your behalf.
1–500 units
Deliverables
Native or neutral exchange formats, ready to drop into your own pipeline for print, CNC, or moulding.

Have a part with no drawings?

A scan that needs to become a STEP file, a broken original that needs reproducing, or a product that needs CAD before it can be manufactured. Send a brief and I'll respond within 24 hours with an honest read on feasibility and route.
