Evidence to CAD
Reverse Engineering
- Best input
- Original part or fragment
- Best fit
- A sample exists but production files do not
- Poor fit
- No sample, dimensions, photos, or installation context
- Validation
- Interface dimensions checked against the sample

Vehicle fitment
Custom Automotive Parts
- Best input
- Vehicle model and year
- Best fit
- Catalog parts do not fit the vehicle package
- Poor fit
- A standard OEM or catalog part is readily available
- Validation
- Packaging clearance review
Composite route
Carbon Fiber and Fiberglass
- Best input
- Target geometry
- Best fit
- Low weight, shape control, or a premium surface matters
- Poor fit
- Geometry is still changing
- Validation
- Geometry reviewed for moldability
Casting path
Polyurethane Casting
- Best input
- Part sample or CAD
- Best fit
- Flexible, durable, or impact-resistant behavior is needed
- Poor fit
- Certified elastomer data is required
- Validation
- Sample geometry documented before mold planning
Prototype route
Additive Manufacturing
- Best input
- CAD file or design target
- Best fit
- A prototype, jig, fixture, or low-risk part is needed quickly
- Poor fit
- The part needs properties printed materials cannot provide
- Validation
- CAD checked for printable geometry
Repeat data
Low-Volume Production
- Best input
- Approved prototype
- Best fit
- A prototype or sample has been validated
- Poor fit
- The design is still changing
- Validation
- Approved sample used as the baseline

Evidence to CAD
Reverse Engineering
We measure, scan, and rebuild physical parts into CAD for prototypes, tooling, or production.
- A sample exists but production files do not
- Mounting or fitment geometry must be preserved
Vehicle fitment
Custom Automotive Parts
We build vehicle-specific components when catalog parts cannot meet the fit, function, or finish.
- Catalog parts do not fit the vehicle package
- A specific model, build, or workshop needs a small run
Composite route
Carbon Fiber and Fiberglass
We match layup, mold strategy, finish, and quantity to the part's role.
- Low weight, shape control, or a premium surface matters
- The quantity justifies a mold or repeatable layup
Casting path
Polyurethane Casting
We mold polyurethane parts when printed plastics or catalog replacements are not suitable.
- Flexible, durable, or impact-resistant behavior is needed
- A repeat batch follows one validated sample
Prototype route
Additive Manufacturing
We use 3D printing for prototypes, fixtures, and low-risk production aids.
- A prototype, jig, fixture, or low-risk part is needed quickly
- Complex geometry makes printing efficient
Repeat data
Low-Volume Production
We keep production data and process notes so repeat orders move faster.
- A prototype or sample has been validated
- Repeat orders need documented assumptions
