3D Scanning / Reverse Engineering
If the part doesn't exist as a file, I'll build the file.
I scan and reverse-engineer discontinued, broken, and one-off parts into editable 3D models you can actually manufacture. Ideal for shops, restorers, and makers who need reliable, accurate models and engineering accuracy for their custom projects.
What I do
3D Scanning
On-site or drop-off scanning of parts, assemblies, and tooling. Good for documentation, reference geometry, and capturing anything you need for your project.
Reverse Engineering to CAD
Turning scan data into clean, editable models you can actually modify, re-manufacture, 3D Print or have fabricated.
Fabrication-Ready Files
Files prepped for 3D printing, CNC machining, or sheet metal fab and checked for wall thickness, tolerances, and manufacturability.
How it works
Submit your project
Fill out the quote form with what you need and any reference photos. I follow up within 24–48 hours to schedule a design consultation call.
Design consultation call
A paid 30-minute call to go over the part, the tolerances, and what's realistic. We finalize scope, timeline, and cost, then sign off before anything's booked.
Scan & reverse-engineer
I capture the geometry with a blue laser 3D scanner and rebuild it into clean, manufacturable CAD, fixing scan noise and adding what a scanner can't capture (threads, tolerances, wall thickness).
Review, approve, deliver
A deliverable consultation call to walk through the files before you sign off. Once approved: final invoice, full asset handoff, and we're done.
Why work with me
- Over 15 years of hands-on mechanical engineering and welding professional experience. I understand how parts actually get made, not just how to trace a mesh.
- Real automotive restoration and fabrication experience, built in public documenting builds like a full EV conversion.
- I deliver 3D models that are actually editable and manufacturable.
- Based in Los Angeles, with on-site scanning within 30 miles and shipping anywhere. Most projects go from intake to delivered files in about a week.
Have a part that needs to exist as a file?
Tell me what you've got and what you need it for. We will work together to determine whether scanning or reverse engineering is the right approach.
