This capability is in development and will be available soon. CAD TECH is investing in adding professional 3D scanning to its service offering - a capability that most drafting services simply can't provide.
When it launches, 3D scanning will bridge the gap between physical reality and digital design. Whether you're reverse engineering a legacy part, fitting a custom component into an existing vehicle, or documenting as-built plant - the scanner captures it precisely so the CAD work starts from the real world, not a tape measure.
Jobs that aren't possible without scan data.
3D scanning removes the biggest constraint in custom design and reverse engineering work - working from inaccurate hand measurements. These are the types of jobs this capability makes possible:
Reverse Engineering
Got a part with no drawings? Scan it, extract the geometry, and produce a fully dimensioned CAD model and manufacturing drawings - ready to replicate or modify.
Automotive Modifications
Scan existing bodywork, chassis, or bays to get accurate geometry before designing custom brackets, panels, or fabricated components that fit first time.
Marine & RV
Complex curves and compound surfaces are no problem. Scan hulls, interiors, or structural components to work from real-world geometry, not guesswork.
As-Built Documentation
Plant, equipment, or structural installations that were never properly documented - scan and capture as-built geometry and turn it into a usable CAD model.
Custom Fabrication Fit-Up
Scan the mounting environment before designing a custom fabricated component, eliminating the back-and-forth that comes from working off rough measurements.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you work with clients outside Newcastle?
Yes. CAD TECH works with clients Australia-wide. Most drafting work is handled remotely, with files sent back and forth digitally, so where you're based isn't a barrier.
