Services

• Reverse Engineering - 3D laser scanning and CAD model construction for:
  • Documentation of legacy assets
    • Tools, jigs, fixtures, molds, patterns
    • Equipment and components
    • Performance fabrications/customizations: cars, motorcycles, boats, airplanes, etc.
  • Design of mating or complementing components
    • Custom fitting - brackets, mounts, packaging, etc
    • Mirroring - design left hand part based on right or visa-versa
    • Tools, jigs, fixtures, molds, patterns
  • Repair or replication of broken/damaged items
  • Adaptive machining - overlay the raw part onto the finished to determine machining parameters
    • Optimum location
    • Material removal/cleanup
    • Clearance/interference
  • Damage assessment
    • Documentation
    • Structural deformation
    • Repair and reconstruction parameters
  • Deflection analysis - characterize location and amount of deflection during load testing
  • Rapid CAD modeling - it's usually faster to reverse engineer CAD models using physical samples than it is to develop them from drawings
• Shape Capture - 3D laser scanning (w/o CAD model construction)
  • Scientific or educational purposes: fossils, skeletons, carvings, hieroglyphs, etc
  • Entertainment: CGI for movies and video games, art creation and reproduction
  • Documentation: sculptures, antiques, archeological artifacts, etc.
  • Dimensional verification - analyze scan data relative to nominal CAD model
• X-Ray CT scanning (outsourced) - precision 3D scanning of internal and external features
  • Reverse engineering - see above
  • NDT (non destructive testing) to identify internal flaws, cracks, voids, etc.

• Creation of CAD models based on customer input/requirements
• Creation of CAM compatible CAD files (may involve outsourcing depending on format)
• Design optimization for manufacturability
• Design of fixtures, tooling and small equipment for manufacturing

• Process design - machining, inspection, testing, etc.
• Process optimization
• Programming: CNC and Visual Basic for manufacturing support
• Fabrication outsourcing - vendor selection, qualification and communications
  • Tools, jigs, fixtures, molds, patterns
  • Prototypes
  • Production parts
