We turn assets into accurate CAD files — so your production keeps running.

We come to you

Scanned at your plant. Nothing ships.

Accurate

Every model checked against its scan.

Yours forever

STEP and STL files you own.

Scan-to-Core

Printed sand cores eliminate the need for expensive tooling

From worn part to print-ready file

Experience the transformation of a worn component into a precise digital model ready for production.

Scanned onsite, rebuilt in CAD, checked against the scan and exported for 3D sand printing.

Raw 3D scan of a worn fitting core

Step 1

Scanned onsite

Captured at the customer's plant, worn surfaces and all. The original never leaves the floor.

Clean CAD model of the fitting core rebuilt from the scan

Step 2

Create CAD Model

The scan helps create a clean, accurate, editable solid model. This is when the design intent of the part is restored.

Scan to CAD Accuracy

The model is compared to the scan and verified to your desired accuacy (up to ±1 mm).
