On-site 3D scanning
- Our engineers come to your Thirumudivakkam facility with the scanner and all equipment.
- Best for heavy, large or intricate parts that are hard to move.
- No transport, no disassembly — scan the part where it sits.
3D scanning & reverse engineering
Turn any physical part into editable CAD
- High-precision scanning that captures geometry down to ~30 microns.
- Editable, parametric CAD files of your objects — not just a mesh.
- Simplified CAD reconstruction for digital product development.
- Ideal for integrating existing physical geometry into new designs.
The process

Where we scan
On-site and in-lab 3D scanning
In-lab 3D scanning
- Our scanning lab in Chennai — Ekkatuthangal.
- Bring your components in or ship them to us.
- Free pickup and delivery within Chennai.
Reverse engineering
No CAD file? We rebuild it from the part
Re-creating a product by hand is slow and error-prone. Through reverse engineering we extract the digital shape of physical objects that lack design documentation or need CAD data for modern manufacturing — quickly and accurately.
Quality control
Inspection & quality control
Compare physical components against their CAD models or a quality-assured control piece. Check prototypes against the original design, catch deviations early, and speed up the prototyping loop.
Scan data also feeds accurate FEA analysis, so quality control and simulation work from the same source of truth.
Beyond industry
Medical, art & fashion
Patient-specific prosthetics for upper and lower limbs, plus custom braces from scanned patient data. Sculptors reproduce an original design with faithful texture and detail. Apparel and footwear are fitted accurately to the individual.
