01 / CAPTURE & RECONSTRUCT

A physical part.
A digital beginning.

3D scanning / Reverse engineering / Surface design

When the part exists but the drawings do not, the first step is to capture what is there.

We turn component geometry into digital information for redesign, inspection or manufacture. That might mean documenting an existing shape, rebuilding a replacement component or defining the interfaces a new design must fit.

The work starts with the output you need. A scan mesh records the measured surface; an editable CAD model requires reconstruction and decisions about design intent. We agree that distinction, the critical features and the level of detail before scanning.

Useful for

  • Replacement and legacy components
  • Complex surfaces and packaging studies
  • Geometry capture for design or inspection

Scope can include

  • Processed scan or mesh data
  • Reconstructed CAD geometry
  • Models and drawings for the next stage

A useful starting point: part photos, dimensions, material, location and the features that matter most.

02 / DESIGN & DEVELOP

From a sketch.
To every last detail.

CAD / Assemblies / Manufacturing documentation

A model should do more than look right. It should communicate how the product fits, moves and gets made.

We develop concepts into parametric parts and coordinated assemblies, working through geometry, interfaces and manufacturing constraints. Existing CAD, a sample part or a simple sketch can all be starting points.

Design work can connect with sheet metal development, surface modelling, motion studies, piping layouts and tooling. Drawings then carry the important decisions into fabrication and assembly: dimensions, materials, tolerances and the details your manufacturer needs.

Questions we work through

  • Does it fit within the available space?
  • Can it move and assemble as intended?
  • How will it be made and installed?

Scope can include

  • Editable parts and assembly models
  • Clearance and interference reviews
  • Fabrication and assembly drawings

A useful starting point: sketches or CAD, key interfaces, material preferences and the intended manufacturing process.

Discuss your design
03 / FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSIS

Understand the load.
Improve the response.

Stress / Deformation / Temperature / Fatigue

Where does a component work hardest? How much does it move? What changes when it heats up?

Finite element analysis helps answer specific performance questions before a design is committed to manufacture. We assess the component or assembly under defined conditions, identify the important behaviour and use the findings to guide design changes.

The analysis is shaped around the decision you need to make. Geometry, materials, supports, contacts and load cases all influence the result. Clear assumptions and acceptance criteria give the findings their meaning.

Analysis applications

  • Structural stress and deformation
  • Thermal and dynamic behaviour
  • Fatigue and design comparisons

Scope can include

  • Documented model and loading assumptions
  • Results for the agreed load cases
  • Engineering interpretation and reporting

A useful starting point: geometry, material data, operating loads, mounting conditions and the question the analysis must answer.

See an engine bracket example
04 / COMPUTATIONAL FLUID DYNAMICS

See the flow.
Find what matters.

Airflow / Pressure / Fluid behaviour / Heat transfer

The shape of a passage, an inlet or a surface can change what happens throughout a system.

CFD brings airflow, liquid flow and thermal behaviour into the design process. Explore the distribution of velocity, pressure and temperature, or compare alternative geometries under the same operating conditions.

We begin with the performance question and the available inputs. The fluid, flow conditions, temperature and surrounding geometry define the study. Results are interpreted in that context so the visualisation supports an engineering decision.

Useful questions

  • How does flow distribute through the system?
  • Where are pressure losses concentrated?
  • How does a design change affect cooling?

Scope can include

  • Flow-domain and operating-condition setup
  • Pressure, velocity or temperature results
  • Design comparisons and technical reporting

A useful starting point: CAD, the fluid and operating range, inlet and outlet conditions, and available measurements.

Discuss a flow study
05 / VEHICLE COMPLIANCE

The right pathway.
The right evidence.

Manufacturers / Importers / Workshops / Vehicle owners

Start with the vehicle and the intended change. Build the assessment around the applicable requirements.

We support vehicle approval and modification projects through engineering assessment, evidence planning and technical documentation. The work connects vehicle details, the proposed configuration and the supporting information needed for the relevant pathway.

Federal approval support

  • Vehicle type approval
  • Second stage manufacturing
  • SEVS, RAWS and model reports

Queensland modifications

  • Proposed or completed modification review
  • Assessment within our authorised scope
  • Supporting evidence and documentation

A useful starting point: make, model, year, proposed changes, intended use and available records. We confirm the scope before work begins.

Inside a yacht, pipework has to share limited space with the vessel’s structure and equipment. This project brought freshwater, fuel and bilge systems into a coordinated three-dimensional layout.

SolidWorks Routing was used to model the networks, integrate standard fittings, clamps and hose connections, and check routes for collisions within the vessel.

Talk through your project
07 / USEFUL ANSWERS

A little clarity.
Before the first call.

Practical details for planning your engineering project.

Can you start with a physical part and no drawings?

Yes. A physical sample can be a starting point for scanning and reverse engineering. Send photos, approximate dimensions and the intended use first. The geometry, surface condition and access help determine the capture and modelling approach.

Is a 3D scan the same as an editable CAD model?

No. A scan typically describes the measured surface as mesh data. Creating an editable CAD model is a separate reconstruction task. Tell us whether you need to inspect a shape, modify a design or manufacture a component so the deliverable matches the next step.

What should an analysis report explain?

The agreed question, geometry, materials, loading, boundary conditions and modelling assumptions should be clear, along with the results and their interpretation. The reporting scope is agreed before the study. Colour plots are useful, but the context is what makes them useful for a design decision.

Can simulation replace physical testing?

Simulation can guide design choices and help plan validation. Whether it is sufficient depends on the application, confidence in the inputs and the relevant acceptance requirements. Where physical testing or independent evidence is needed, that should be identified when the scope is defined.

Can you work from our existing CAD and drawings?

Existing files are a useful starting point. Include the software or file format, revision and what you want changed or assessed. We will confirm compatibility, the level of detail needed and the format of the final deliverables.

What affects the cost and timeframe?

Geometry complexity, available inputs, access to the part, the number of design iterations or analysis cases, and the required documentation all affect the scope. Share your deadline and intended output with the initial enquiry so the work can be defined around them.

Can you assess my vehicle modification?

Send the vehicle details, location, proposed changes and any supporting drawings or records. We will confirm whether the assessment falls within our current authorised scope and identify the information needed for the next step.
