Capabilities
3D Scanning
Service websiteHigh-accuracy laser scanning that digitally captures parts and assemblies of virtually any size, with same-day turnaround, producing MESH/STL data ready for downstream engineering and inspection workflows.
- Laser Scanning
Captures parts and assemblies with high-accuracy laser scanning.
- MESH/STL Deliverables
Produces MESH and STL data for downstream engineering workflows.
- Inspection Data Capture
Supports engineering and inspection work with digital scan data.
Reverse Engineering
Service website- MESH / STL
Native scan output files; the starting point for reverse-engineering new or existing products.
- Solid Modeling (STP)
Solid CAD files derived from MESH/STL data, designed to client specifications and deliverable with full engineering drawings.
CAD Design
Service website- 3D Modeling
Solid model creation using SolidWorks, CATIA, Fusion 360, Inventor, and Ansys Discovery, delivering production-ready CAD files.
- DFM - Design for Manufacturing
Early-stage design optimization that simplifies geometry and manufacturing steps to reduce cost before tooling begins.
- DFA - Design for Assembly
Part-count reduction and feature design to minimize assembly time and lower overall assembly cost.
Engineering Inspection
Service website- CAD File Analysis
- Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)
Simulation of fluid flows to predict aerodynamic forces, airflow through turbines, and internal flow conditions across product designs.
- Finite Element Analysis (FEA)
Mathematical analysis of part and assembly behavior under real-world loads, identifying structural strengths and weaknesses before physical testing.
- First Article Inspections (FAI)
- Heat Mapping
- Geometry Analysis
Additive Manufacturing
Service website- Powder Bed Fusion (DMLS, SLS, SLM, MJF)
Laser- or electron-beam fusion of powdered metal and polymer materials; suited for complex industrial geometries and production parts.
- Binder Jetting
An industrial printhead deposits a liquid binder onto powder layers to build high-value parts in metals, ceramics, or composites.
- Material Extrusion / FDM
Thermoplastic or composite filament deposited layer by layer through a heated nozzle; cost-effective for prototyping and functional tooling.
- SLA / DLP / LCD / Polyjet / DLS
Project Consultation
Service websiteEngineering consultants work with client teams to assess feasibility, identify constraints, and build an execution roadmap, ensuring project goals and production capabilities align before committing to development.
- Feasibility Review
Assesses project feasibility before development commitments.
- Constraint Identification
Identifies technical and production constraints early.
- Execution Roadmap
Builds an execution roadmap aligned to project goals.
