Scan to part

No drawing? Bring us the broken part.

  1. Scan itWe capture the shape with a 3D scanner and calipers.
  2. We rebuild the modelThe scan becomes a clean, editable model.
  3. We print itIn the material that suits the job.

Works best on small to medium, matte parts. Shiny, black or transparent surfaces are harder and may need hand measuring.

Typical jobs

Typical jobs we handle

Off-white nylon spur gear beside a small metal hinge and a steel strip

Machine down over one small part

When the part that failed is one the maker no longer sells, the whole machine sits idle. A copy measured or scanned from the broken piece and printed in Nylon can get it running again.

Part Replacement gear and hinge

Material Nylon: strong, and resists wear

Grey PETG shelf bracket with a gusset, beside a coin for scale

A deadline and no time for a mold

A trade show or sample deadline arrives faster than tooling can. Short runs printed from your file can fill the gap while the final design gets settled.

Part Brackets in a short run

Material PETG: tough, repeatable

Round dark grey knob with a D-shaped shaft hole

The only thing wrong with a machine that still works

A cracked knob or gear can be the only thing standing between you and an appliance that has run for decades. Bring the broken piece, and a scanned copy can keep it going.

Part Replacement control knob

Material PLA: fine detail, indoor use
